Compilation of Scores
Scores are notations that guide actions. To write these scores is to define a protocol, a series of conditions that we decide to share, from which we can relate to the different cities we inhabit from our own individual vantagepoints, informed by our backgrounds and forms of working. Gathered here, the idea is that these scores can be performed by other and larger groups of people. We can imagine people walking and reading at the same time on the sidewalks of different cities. We can imagine a thread connecting fragments of conversations captured in various languages. We can imagine the instable balance created by the encounter of objects found across borders. Potentially, this could create a collective mapping of the world through our choices of surfaces to reproduce through frottages or abandoned objects to collect, through the voices we can hear and document or the foreign gestures we can remember. This compilation of scores is in progress, as new scores are developed, existing ones are reinterpreted, performed anew in various constellations. As such, this compilation is also a growing pile of work, a compile of ideas, imaginations, left overs, sketches, loose tracks, composting and composted.
