Curated by Alex Waterman, Debra Singer, and Matthew Lyons

Exploring the intersection of drawing and sound, this show includes experimental scores by more than thirty composers who relinquish traditional musical notation in favor of their own invented visual systems of pictorial or “graphic” elements. Their musical compositions take the form of abstract drawings, videos, and digital renderings filled with complex pictograms, evocative mark-making, gestural symbols, and intricate codes of numbers, letters, and color. These highly personal vocabularies are the catalysts for a social process of translation and open-ended interpretation between composer and performer. Among the artists included in the exhibition are: Robert Ashley, James Beckett, David Behrman, Earle Brown, Cornelius Cardew, Tony Conrad, John Driscoll, Morton Feldman, Jon Gibson, Tom Johnson, Alison Knowles, Joan La Barbara, Annea Lockwood, Meredith Monk, Gordon Mumma, Anthony Jay Ptak, Steve Roden, Marina Rosenfeld, Michael J. Schumacher, Elliott Sharp, Wadada Leo Smith, David Tudor, Stephen Vitiello, and Christian Wolff, among many others.
