review of The Scores Project now online

The Scores Project presents 11 works or projects initiated between 1953 and 1975, that used scores within their realisation, their dissemination, their presentation, or their documentation. These scores are accompanied by contextualising essays and digitised copies of printed, audio, and video material in a web environment that mixes archive, essay collection, anthology and exhibition. Each key work is represented by multiple items including photographs, video clips, notebooks, correspondence, publicity materials, as well as drawings, notations, diagrams, instructions and other forms by which the score is presented.

The publication [aims] to find better ways to share and educate audiences about these complex and untidy works. These are works that in library or conservation terms involves bits of paper, cards, grainy video recordings, notes and sketches. Digital technology and an online platform allow readers and viewers to engage with these in new ways, and to encounter them in the context of framing essays and scholarship.

review of Radio Art Zone book

My review of Radio Art Zone, edited by Sarah Washington (Hatje Cantz, 2023) is now published on Leonardo Reviews. It is a beautiful book, bringing together on its varied pages a wide range of radio responses to the 100 Days of Radio project that was presented as part of the Esch Capital of Culture programme in summer 2022.

“i remember / i don’t remember” for WBN2023

I made a visual text piece as my contribution to the World Book Night 2023 project organised and curated by Sarah Bodman and Linda Parr. ‘i remember / i don’t remember’ responds to the call using a sequence of childhood memories and found and generated text. The colours relate to the stories in the sequence.

For World Book Night 2023, WBN United Artists invited people via an open call, to read one or all of the following texts, and consider how they might represent a memory that could be used to create a shared experience, a coming together of voices from the past and present. I Remember by Joe Brainard / I Remember (Je me souviens) by Georges Perec / I Remember, I Remember by Mary Ruefle. 112 contributions were sent from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, Nepal, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, UK, USA.

The exhibition will be on show at Bower Ashton Library, UWE Bristol, UK from 20th April – 30th June 2023, and Hong Kong Design Institute from late July – end of Sept 2023. You can view all the works received on the Instagram gallery put together by Linda Parr. WBN 2023 is curated and organised by Sarah Bodman and Linda Parr. The exhibition at Hong Kong Design Institute is organised by Jessica Ho Yuk Ching.
