Election Day Tape

Jan Herman · 1971 · Vinyl-7-Inch · US · WRS-371

Edition size: 150. Record and sample ballot (35") were pressed in 1969. The 9" gatefold sleeve was printed in 1971. "The noisy sound collage was meant to be “broadcast in the streets or at your local polling place on Election Day only”. The sample ballot for the General Municipal Election, November 4, 1969 has been attached to the sleeve and can be folded out to its full lenth of 89 cm. The ballot is a collage of voting instructions, a pornograhic text, meat advertisements, and images of a razorblade and broken cigar labelled The Death Of Politics. Some of the ballots have been signed in 1969." - Sea Urchin Editions.
