Score for NOTES

ART WRITING FIELD STATION

March 2010

By Rachel Lois Clapham

A number of square white cards (elements) and a blank white wall

A GRID area marked out in pencil on wall

A pile of elements on floor (some may be pre-marked or scored)

During the event the author will make diagrammatic gestures using square elements in a GRID.

The GRID composition will continually shift in content and pace; it is subject to affect by the event at all
times and VICE VERSA

Arrangement of the GRID elements may include - removal, erasure, covering, overlapping, re-
positioning,
BLANK and the situating of non elements. Linearity and left to right arrangement of elements will be
avoided.

Links between elements will be variously - random, systematic, tangential, analytic and improvisatory.
The author is sometimes noticed in the act of composition, sometimes not. There will be moments of
attention.

The GRID is always visible but is potentially ignored.

Composition is finished when all elements have been removed from the wall, returned to the floor in a
pile, and the author leaves the event.

The writing ends when the event does, it is potentially not saved

Nb.

Consider these as integral to the composition: The initial pile of blank elements (score), the act of
physically re-arranging the elements, the associations/non associations between elements, the space
within the GRID in-between the elements, the space directly outside the GRID, the physical movement
from the floor to the wall, the final pile of elements, the author leaving the event.
