In the late 1960s Richard Artschwager (1923–2013) started making his famous ‘blp’ (pronounced ‘blip’) sculptures, lozenge-shaped forms that act like punctuation points in public spaces. For the Sonsbeek project the blps were affixed throughout the town of Utrecht, which is documented in the catalogue. The record presents evenly spaced sound-tics, on Side One and Side Two.
