Starting from a wider interest in the dynamics of expanded sound in the everyday sphere, the project is focused on verbal notation – conceived as a catalyst for action – in relationship with walking and moving – considered as a way to establish a dialectical relation with the everyday and the context. The title is a variation on Working from Scores, a text originally published in 1990 where Ken Friedman introduced his notion of “musicality” in visual art and intermedia, interrogating ideas of “authenticity”, “intention” and “meaning” and understanding the artwork as a set of instructions that allows a constellation of different interpretations. Embracing this open approach, the collection will be activated in a scattered and itinerant form for Catacomb Bomb – a 3-days long event curated by Xing in several venues in Bologna. Playing on the threshold between inside and outside, occupying interstitial time lapses between other shows and accompanying the public in their trajectories from one place to the next, simple photocopies of the scores will be distributed to the audience as they step out from every venue and one will be selected and performed collectively by a group of young musicians and artists. I would like deeply thank: The participants in the lab, I had such fun! The artists for allowing me to reproduce their scores Rita Correddu for the scores layout xing.it/event/358/catacomb_bomb
