A Score of Scores
For the series, I was commissioned to perform a score written by Alejandro Tamayo, an artist-collaborator of my choosing.
Curated by Shannon Cochrane & Francesco Gagliardi, A Score of Scores was an experimental, back-to-basics platform for artists to create new small-scale work in a spirit of experimentation, collaboration, and agility.
Emerging in the early 1960s in the context of the FLUXUS movement and in conversation with the expanded compositional practices of John Cage and LaMonte Young, “event scores” relied on elements of collaboration, improvisation, and chance to challenge traditional understandings of originality and artistic creation. Often very short, event scores typically consisted of lists of prompts and instructions ranging from the mundane to the elusively abstract. They were circulated among fellow artists with an open invitation to interpret and perform them however they wanted.
