space, environment and context: gestures and scores

In how far is meaning related to context? Our point of departure will be the pioneering works of conceptual artists and composers of experimental and electronic music in Europe and in the US, such as Maryanne Amacher, John Cage, Christina Kubisch, Alvin Lucier and Dick Raaijmakers. Students will explore different methods of creating scores for their own work. There will be some reading required. The course will be held in English.
