Description

Title from cover.


"Graphic notation presenting the complex of fragments visible as the book of a city street map is bent back slightly. Lines of print and lines of random strolling/reading from map to score to (re)performance; three cities in which James Joyce wrote Ulysses, walking/sounding another city." -- from AMBruno leaflet.


"An open graphic score to be interpreted and improvised from by performer(s) for any instrument or voice. This visual notation presents the complex of fragments of lines and tones visible on a very narrow band of each page as the book of a city street map is bent back slightly. City, book, streets, pages and edges - lines of print and lines of random strolling/reading from map to score to (re)performance. The three cities are the ones in which James Joyce wrote Ulysses, a novel of walking/sounding another city." -- information provided by the artist by email September 2013.


"Sewn pamphlet of 12 pages including cover, digital print on Vanguard 135gsm Ivory, 278 x 201 mm, open edition." -- information provided by the artist by email September 2013.


Produced as part of the Lines project initiated by AMBruno on the occasion of the London Art Book Fair, 2013, held at the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
