汤姆·萨克斯 Lay Some Pipe《铺设管子》 , 2014

From dance party, to road trip, to poche vide (a place to empty your pocketsas you enter your home), to laboratory, to bachelor pad to iPhone dock, sound systems have always been a part of my work and will be as long as I continue to love music. - Tom Sachs

Lay Some Pipe (2014) belongs to the ongoing series of Boombox works commenced by American artist Tom Sachs in 1999. He employs a bricolage technique to fabricate sound systems out of everyday materials. Sustaining his signature DIY aesthetic, he retains his pencil construction marks on the works, illustrating the process of their creation. The resultant sculptural forms extend the experience of listening to music to a visual register as each boombox takes on a unique aesthetic. An icon of street culture, the boombox allows Sachs to interrogate power structures within the music and art industries, as well as wider consumer culture at large.

The work was included in the solo exhibition Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999-2022 at HYBE INSIGHT, Seoul from 22 June to 11 September 2022.

由跳舞派对,到公路旅行,到「杂物篮」(poche vide,意指一个在你回家时让你清空 口袋放置杂物的地方),到实验室,到单身汉公寓,到iPhone介面,声音系统一直是 我作品的一部份,而只要我一天还爱音乐,它的地位将保持不变。 —汤姆·萨克斯

《Lay Some Pipe》 (2014) 是美国艺术家汤姆·萨克斯 (Tom Sachs) 于1999年开始 的 Boombox 系列作品。他採用拼贴技术用日常材料製造音响系统。保持他标誌性 的自製(DIY) 美学,他在作品中保留了他的铅笔草稿标记,把创作过程纪录在作品 之中。应运而生的凋塑形式将音乐的听觉体验延展至视觉记录,而每个音箱都有其 独特的美学。作为街头文化的象徵,音箱让萨克斯有机会审视音乐和音乐工业以及 更大众的消费文化之间的权力纽结。

此作在汤姆·萨克斯于首尔HYBE INSIGHT的个展《Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999-2022》展出,展期由2022年6月22日至9月11日。
