The lecture program will consist of performance of open text scores. Presented, will be older works by artists associated with Fluxus, which will be interspersed with more recent compositions by composers from the Wandelweiser collective. Through this compilation the author wants to encourage reflection, on how the artistic approach towards open scores has changed over the decades, what purpose they serve, and what they make possible.
