McALPINE, Elizabeth - 'Words and Music (Headlines: Thursday July 15 2010)'

Hand-typed onto fragile copy paper, this free limited edition print is signed and numbered by the artist and accompanies a new work first performed during the Barbican Art Gallery's Words event on July 15th 201o, an evening of poetry and artistic interventions relating to the current exhibition Surreal House. For those who missed the performance, in which 5 pianists played the days' headlines on one piano following a score made by transposing the newspapers headlines' letters, numbers and punctuation marks into musical notes, the artist plans to repeat it in the future, possibly at The Whitechapel Art Gallery later this year.

Availability: copies may still be available at The Barbican, possible re-edition at future performances.
