about

Mebs/Caraxia (1970)

Between 1969-70, I started to connect a series of ideas that pertained to the LP object. One of them would be that through sound, I might be able to deal with artworks that dealt with the issue of topology. The first record was 'Mebs/Caraxia', whose title comes from two sound charts (...) One side is called 'mebs' because of the Mobieus strip; the other side was a spiral, and in order to name such spiral, I decided to use the union of two words that referred to spiraled structures: 'caracol' (snail) and 'galáxia' (galaxy). Therefore the name “Caraxia” (...)

Cildo Meireles (Rio de Janeiro, 1948) is an influential Brazilian artist. His works have a strong critical and political character.
