Factory Records - Exhibition Launch

Curated by Jon Savage and Mat Bancroft, Use Hearing Protection tells the story of Factory’s formative years from 1978 to 1982 through the first 50 numbered Factory artefacts, including works by Peter Saville, Joy Division, New Order, A Certain Ratio, Durutti Column and Linder Sterling. The exhibition launch in September 2019 saw us collaborate with Paul Smith, Cambridge Audio & Yeastie Boys; encompassing music, photos, videos & aesthetics that captured the spirit of Factory Records' origins.
