space, environment and context: gestures and scores
In how far is meaning related to context? Our point of departure will be 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. How does each of these artists understand the world and describe the creative process?
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.
