Becoming Scores (2021)
Becoming Scores explores this relational unfolding: the between and betweenness of body and beyond. Through performance, game play and installation, three emerging artists engage with time, memory and knowledge as it is formed and felt within our material thresholds.
Ink into skin to document the present, build upon and erase marks of the past; soft, sculptural forms to touch and be touched, exchange at the point of body-beyond; a role-playing game to explore possible future bodies through propositional world-(re)building.
Together, these works consider whether, in the embodied beyond of our beings, we are each (always) becoming scores.
Artists: Gene Montgomery, Abbie Calvert, Kate Marshall
Curator: Hannah Foley
Site: Visual Bulk
