The proposal for this score follows on previous iterations of Scorescapes as a tool to practice intersubjective formats for exchange in artistic research. ScoreScapes is an investigation of how scores can facilitate the relation between artistic research, documentation and knowledge processing in collective settings.
If artistic research is an active and methodological search for ways to keep the viability of one's knowledge in relation with others', then how can this search be mediated by scores? If artistic research engages in processes of awaking unseen relations with what surrounds us, then how do we compose materials and thoughts? What is the performativity at stake on the sharing of those? What’s the relation between subjectivity and collectivity? What does that do to our individual practices and to the collective itself?
The specificity of Kin(s)score is on the fact that we will participate in the score with our research kinships. We will speak with them, through them and us about the questions that our research make apparent. We will discuss and practice what are the political implications of authorship, collectivity and the other.
INSTRUCTIONS
-We meet every week on Thursdays from 16:00 till 19:00 on a.pass 4th floor studio.
-We bring food and drinks to share.
-We work with the people present. It’s not possible to participate remotely.
-There is no audience. If one doesn’t have something to present, one can skip a session.
-Participants of the score attend to minimum 5 sessions.
The score is simple. It works as follows:
To start:
The first meeting each of us presents a 5 minutes sample of our research question. The sample is communicated as performance, text, object, dissertation,…It manifest the content of the research and the medium through which the research is taking place.
The questions
After assisting to each others presentations we assign by chance procedure who is offering questions to whom.
There are two days to formulate a question to one of the researchers that has presented their work. Questions are sent by email maximum by Saturday midnight.
The questions are a dialectic tool to engage in the discursiveness of artistic practice and research. They aim to argument what is at stake, its implications and further relations in the artistic research environment and in the world. They are the indicators of the dialogical potential of each research project. They are the motor of a process of sharing, contaminating, contradicting, thinking / making together apart. Questions are an intrinsic and important component of the score. Think them, contextualize them, offer them.
The responses
After receiving your questions you have 5 days to develop an answer with the medium you’ve chosen. You present your response the next Thursday you will attend within a 5 minutes timeframe .
Conversation
While we assist to the presentations we will write keywords. At the end of each sessions we will collect them and chose one to have a conversation about. The notes of the conversation will be documented through out the sessions.
Documentation
All the questions will be stored at the pads here bellow. The documentation of the presentations will an individual process.
