Scores for Daily Living | Namsos

2018
eight drawings tools, chalk, durational performance

This iteration of Scores for Daily Living for the Kunstmuseet Nord-Trøndelag, Namsos, Norway, uses the original drawings for eight performers from the L40 exhibition space at the Kunstverein am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Berlin, 2017, and compresses them into a map for one performer. Represented by chalk snap lines on the gallery floor, this adaptation of SFDL serves as a frame for a series of actions that took place over the course of eight days. Throughout its duration, the performance of the score was enacted repeatedly in a loop. After each round, the movements of the paths taken and the events that occurred were recalled and notated by means of eight drawing tools. The use of the number eight is a reference to the cultural concept of the eight-day week (the eighth day being the day to break the fast and celebrate), and is a significant number in the eight trigrams of Bagua, a Chinese philosophical system.
