METALABEL WTF
Here’s some optional ordinary pre-reading / listening / watching / thinking material ahead of General Seminar N°20!
Metalabels are groups of people working under a common identity for a common purpose with a focus on releases — distinct public works that communicate and manifest their goals. Indie record labels, the Whole Earth Catalog, A24, and MSCHF are all examples of metalabels.
Metalabel is a growing universe of knowledge, resources, and tools for metalabels and other cultural collectives. We are a small egalitarian team scattered around the world. We are Anna Bulbrook, Lauren Dorman, Rob Kalin, Austin Robey, Yancey Strickler, and Ilya Yudanov.
Once upon a time people were born into communities and had to find their individuality. Today people are born individuals and have to find their communities. — K-Hole, “Youth Mode”
A24? A Metalabel?
