Selling Bricks. Urban video clips, built environment and spatial politics is a research project that investigates the spatial issues and architectural implications rendered by the urban video clip in Europe from 2013. It arises from the analysis of more than 200 references of urban music video clips in Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. It is part of the For The Record residency at the Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum.
Selling Bricks is a long-term research project, by Bartlebooth, that investigates the built object and the space represented in the urban video clip. Previously, it took the form of a namesake photobook (Bartlebooth, 2019) and audiovisual installation as part of Twelve Cautionary Urban Tales, curated by Ethel Baraona in Matadero (Madrid) between 2020 and 2021.
Thanks to the Het Nieuwe Instituut and the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision for the incomparable framework; to Katia Truijen, Erick Fowler, and Christel Leenen for the kind accompaniment; and to Pol Esteve Castelló and Léa-Catherine Szacka, and their students at the Architectural Association and The Berlage, respectively, for allowing us to share and discuss preliminary outcomes of the process. Special thanks to Alberto de Miguel aka horror.vacui for translating his visual and musical inner world and to Aurora Saseta for the magic on the code and infinite patience.
