In conjunction with Record Store Day on Saturday 20th April, curator Matthew Hearn has resurrected ‘Beyond the Goldmine Standard’: affordable 12” Vinyl Records reworked by 20 local artists. 50% of sale proceeds will go to the artists and 50% to Maggie’s Cancer Care, Newcastle.
Beyond the Goldmine Standard was first curated by Matthew Hearn in 2015, responding to the fan-made album sleeves found in RPM Records in Newcastle, it was exhibited there to coincide with BALTIC 39 exhibition ‘The Curves of the Needle’ and Record Store Day. The Goldmine Standard is a widely accepted system for grading the condition of vinyl records and their covers. Matthew’s project invites local artists to explore the implications and creative possibilities in stamping a personal signature onto a Vinyl Sleeve.
Matthew says:
“I was really excited to be asked to revisit this project as part of Recording Time. Newspaper
headlines tell us the record market has continued to grow year on year, some of this is new
releases and much is the booming second-hand market. There are still a great many records
out there that cost little to no money and exist in abundance, here we are giving them new
lives and new focus.”
