Chain Reaction

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:52:26 -0400

As a starting point, an idea has already been put forward by Caroline Carty that takes the form of a chainlike call and response. A musician would begin by writing a song/making a piece of music and then an artist would respond in whatever medium they like. They would then pass this piece on to a musician who would write a song/piece of music and so on. Alternatively this could all start with an artist making a pice of work. I am interested in how far removed (or not) the works could get from the source material and whether the thread will be clear.

Update

Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:34:31 -0400

I have been thinking about language and how important it is to this project. The is the language of the music, the visual language, the physical language and the language of the written word. If this event were to be reviewed under which category would it fall? How would it be written about? as a gig, concert, conference, poetry performance, exhibition?

It would be interesting to have it reviewed separately as all of these things, creating a portrait of the event from many different perspectives and with emphasis on the varied aspects of the work. That would relieve the sense of ownership on any one discipline. Is that important?
