The results of my writing residency ‘Scoring Notes on a Return’, in which I devised a score for writing performance live at the Laing, have been published in Notes on a return, by Art Editions North.
The results of my writing residency ‘Scoring Notes on a Return’, in which I devised a score for writing performance live at the Laing, have been published in Notes on a return, by Art Editions North.
NOTES on a return features a
series of exhibitions and a symposium which revisited five live artworks made
at the Laing in 1985, 1986 and 1987 by influential artists Anne Bean, Rose
English, Mona Hatoum, Bruce McLean and Nigel Rolfe. The publication examines
ideas of memory, archive and the documentation of ephemeral practices and
queries the reasons and conditions for remembering within the discourses of
institution and art history.
Fragments
of my score are published alongside five new performances commissioned by the Laing and serve variously as description, direction and punctuation.
