Reynols 30th Anniversary Exhibition
Newcastle Contemporary Art, High Bridge Works, Newcastle Upon Tyne, 16th November – 16th December 2023
Reynols are an Argentinian experimental band that began in 1993 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their musical output spans everything from cosmic free rock, lo-fi drone, and electronic music to conceptual sound art and socio-political observations. Reynols have worked with an open-process, DIY philosophy, amassing almost 80 albums to their name, toured the USA and EU, and have had multiple documentaries made about them, alongside collaborating with experimental artists such as Acid Mothers Temple and Pauline Oliveros.
Having been approached by founding member of the band Anla Courtis, Craig Stewart Johnson (Invisible City Records) and Andy Wood (TQ Zine) celebrated the 30th anniversary of the band with an exhibition of their work, following on from similar showcases in Belgium, Spain, USA and Japan.
This exhibition presented a range of archival documentation surrounding the band Reynols. The exhibit included gig posters, press clippings, photos, videos, and audio spanning their entire career. We are presenting physical artefacts from collectors and enthusiasts around the world, giving a glimpse into the unique and esoteric discography they have amassed.
Through the archival material, we looked to present the work of a band that has consistently striven to create free music in the purest sense. Embracing a DIY energy in all matters, their huge archive of material documents a band whose approach to creativity is singular in its expressiveness. Throughout their existence, they have advocated for an approach to inclusion, looking to make music accessible to people of all abilities, whether that be through workshops or collaborations, describing music itself as a fundamental civil right.
