Eva_script (2016)

Eva_script is the result of a one-night reading residency on December 16, 2016 in the former apartment of Eva Hesse (134 Bowery, 3rd floor, NYC), hosted by dispersed holdings. During the residency, I created an instructional score using fragments of text from Hesse’s diaries and closely-cropped images of Hesse taken in the apartment. The printed artifact was generated during a three-way performative session between me, Sal Randolph, and David Richardson, on December 17, 2016. Each of the participants, positioned in different rooms, activated the “protocol of the document” in silence over the wifi network. The site-specific collaborative work was entirely conceived, generated, printed, and installed in Hesse’s apartment.

Eva_script is included in the book Reading Room, published by dispersed holdings (ed. David Richardson), 2020 in a first edition of 300 copies.
