“An aspect of the meta-archive, which includes a series of longer recorded conversations initiated by RR (with Sands, with Sands and Amalia Calderón and with Sands and Robin Wassink-Murray), which aimed to capture ideas about value, structure, and care for an artistic practice, as well as providing plenty of space for sharing references, gossip, and ‘information’ – one of Sands’ main materials. These seven hours of interviews – some in Dutch and some in English – are all in their unedited richness part of the meta-archive, both as audio recordings and transcriptions (translations and transcriptions by Martha Jager).” – RR.
