SCORES<\/em><\/strong>, the latest in the series Works of Music by Visual Artists<\/em>, is an exhibition and concert project devoted to the musical score, a subject that gets constantly re-examined in the visual arts as well as in music. Particularly since the 1960s, the score has been appreciated, above and beyond conventional musical notation, as a multivalent medium of recording which may take the form of spontaneously free drawings, individual symbolic systems, or instructions for activities. The subject of the score was frequently of relevance to the artists presented earlier on in the Works of Music by Visual Artists<\/em> series, too; preliminary explorations of the theme made themselves regularly felt in association with their visual artworks and conceptions.<\/p>\n

With projects by Sa\u00e2dane Afif, Christian Marclay, Ari Benjamin Meyers and Jorinde Voigt, the score now becomes the focus of an exhibition accompanied by concerts. For the selected artists, music forms an integral component of their work. Despite their differing approaches, all are interested in the transformation of one medium into another, a process that is accomplished in close collaboration with the participating musicians. The scores are presented as drawings, objects, lyrics, graphic-photographic-film notations, and as concepts that generate musical events and performances. Almost all of the works presented on a grand scale in the Rieckhallen at the Hamburger Bahnhof are new commissions; they will be performed, piece by piece, in the spaces in which they are exhibited.<\/p>\n

The installative works by Sa\u00e2dane Afif<\/strong> often call to mind production processes in music: he works with scores\/concepts, song texts, composition, posters and recording media. In a continuous and potentially unfinished process of transformation, and with the incorporation of authors, musicians and performers, Afif generates a fascinating network of relationships and references. The exhibition presents a work developed by Sa\u00e2dane Afif together with the composer Augustin Maurs, Vice de forme: Das Kabarett<\/em>, which is associated with a performance to mark the exhibition\u2019s opening, Vice de forme (First Notes)<\/em>, and a concert on its final day, Vice de forme (In Songs)<\/em>. During the exhibition a Yamaha player piano will play First Notes, <\/em>recorded at the opening.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christian Marclay<\/strong> is known internationally as a virtuoso of \u2018sampling\u2019. In his practice, which includes live performances as well as purely visual works, he takes found objects \u2013 often carrying a musical connotations \u2013 from daily life, the consumer world and mass media, and remixes them in order to generate his art. On view in the exhibition are the artist\u2019s video\u00a0Screen Play<\/em> and his slideshow Zoom Zoom<\/em>, which both serve as musical scores for the invited ensemble and the performers Elliott Sharp and Shelley Hirsch. Also on display is Christian Marclay\u2019s newly produced comic book To Be Continued<\/em>, which will be musically interpreted by the ensemBle baBel. All of these works are being presented for the first time in\u00a0Berlin.<\/p>\n

The drawings by Jorinde Voigt<\/strong>, conceived primarily in cycles and called notations and scores by the artist herself, form the core of the artist\u2019s multifaceted oeuvre alongside photographic works, actions, objects and (sound) installations. From Song of the Earth<\/em>, a projected eight-part cycle of drawings on which Voigt is currently working, the first four chapters will be on view in the exhibition. Entitled Radical Relaxation \u2013 Stress and Freedom, The Shift, Divine Territory<\/em> and The Farewell<\/em>, they will be partly translated into a musical performance by the zeitkratzer ensemble. Audio recordings from the concerts devoted respectively to the works of Marclay and Voigt will afterwards play in their areas of the exhibition.<\/p>\n

In his exhibitions and compositions, Ari Benjamin Meyers<\/strong> explores structures that redefine the performative and immaterial side of music and examine the question of whether music can be exhibited in the context of art. For his work Who\u2019s Afraid of Sol La Ti? (Invention I)<\/em>, Ari Benjamin Meyers has developed a series of \u2018meta-scores\u2019 inspired by Sol LeWitt\u2019s Instruction Pieces<\/em>; each day these will be newly translated and performed by the composer Wojtek Blecharz and the flautist Susanne Fr\u00f6hlich. On the final day of the exhibition, all the interpretations created and rehearsed on site will be performed from memory.<\/p>\n

All the artists presented in SCORES<\/em><\/strong> have accepted the invitation to develop, for the exhibition, new works of visual art that can be read, each in its own way, as scores for musical activation. These activations are made audible inside the gallery spaces in direct association with the visual artworks that inspired them. \u00a0A collaboration was successfully agreed with the contemporary music festival Klangspuren Schwaz and with Kunstraum Innsbruck for the performance of the ongoing pictorial cycle by Jorinde Voigt and for the production of the new graphic score in the form of a comic book by Christian Marclay and its musical translation.<\/p>\n
