Take a tour through the rich and expansive musical heritage of the 20th century at this photographic exhibition dedicated to iconic vinyl covers. From The Rolling Stones and Iggy Pop to Grace Jones and Miles Davis, ‘Total Records. Vinyl and Photography’ explores the relationship between music and visual culture, displaying how artwork became an integral part of the record and led to images that remain firmly instilled in public memory. Alongside the musical greats, the exhibition displays work by the photographers who played an implicit role in their success, including Robert Frank, Irving Penn, Jeff Wall and many others who contributed to both photographic and musical history. The exhibition is divided into thematic sections that examine the nuances of this unique art form, which became a space for artistic experimentation, with the potential to provoke scandals, serve political demands and influence the minds of a generation. The travelling exhibition, which was produced by the festival Les Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles and has already been shown in Arles, Zurich and Berlin, comes to Spain for the first time this month.
