"I've Got U Under My Skin: AIDS and Classical Music" collection

  • RBSC-ARC-1868
  • Collection
  • [between 1987 and 1990]-2024

Collection consists of selected material from the exhibition "I’ve Got U Under My Skin: AIDS & Classical Music." Curated by UBC’s Music Librarian, Kevin Madill, this exhibition ran from 27 September 2023 to 15 December 2023 in the foyers of the Music Library and Gerstein Library at the University of Toronto, and at Hart House Library at the University of Toronto. The exhibition included print scores, audio records, books and ephemera, an accompanying audio listening list, an exhibition talk by the curator, two one-hour cross-library tours led by the curator, and an accompanying concert of selected vocal works from the exhibition performed by faculty and students from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music. The exhibition materials were selected from the music collection of UBC Library or borrowed from anonymous lenders. Much of this material was also displayed at the exhibition "Activism in the Arts: I’ve Got U Under My Skin: AIDS & Classical Music," curated by Madill, which ran from 15 September 2022 to 15 January 2023 in the foyer of the UBC Music Art and Architecture Library of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.

The exhibition illustrated early responses to the AIDS pandemic from the classical music scene. As observed by Madill, themes present in sound, score, and packaging include: health education, community building, sense making, concretization of past events, and expression of loss.

Collection includes musical recordings in the form of long playing (LP) records and a CD, copies of scores, and assorted ephemera, as well as website print-outs, correspondence, labels, and an exhibition materials list created as part of the exhibition.
