Artists created new event scores on index cards and sent them as mail art through the USPS. Included work ranges from text instructions in the tradition of Pauline Oliveros’s Sonic Meditations to mutated traditional musical notation to drawings and performance texts, showcasing the breadth of the form. Contributing artists include: Sarah Ruth Alexander, Emmerich Anklam, Brandon Blair, Christie Blizard, Christina Carter, Jordan Dykstra, Kevin Corcoran, Catherine Czacki, Venetia Dale, Rachel Devorah, Cait Finley, Assaf Gidron, Luke Gullickson, Justin Houser, Gretchen Jude, Jessica Lambert, Cheryl E.

Post-Score opens on Monday January 16th at 4pm, with performances of contributed scores as well as classic graphic and text scores by Earle Brown and La Monte Young. CO-OPt will host a closing event on February 19th at 4pm that includes a performance by Llano Estacado Monad Band of the entirety of Cornelius Cardew’s graphic score Treatise. About the curators: Heather Warren-Crow is an artist and filmmaker based in Lubbock, Texas.

Recent exhibitions include the Currents New Media Festival in Santa Fe, CAM Perennial in San Antonio, the International Kansk Video Festival in Siberia, and the New York City Independent Film Festival.

Andrew Weathers (b.1988) is a composer and improviser originally from Chapel Hill, NC and currently based in Littlefield, TX. His work engages with notions of place, tradition, repetition, and spirit, splitting the difference between folk music and Land Art. Weathers studied composition at UNC-Greensboro and electronic music at Mills College in Oakland, CA. A consistent presence in the underground music scene over the past decade, Weathers’ work covers a wide spectrum from solo acoustic guitar to electronic noise. He also performs and records regularly with Tethers, Tender Crust, Wind Tide, Satin Spar, Tamarisk, Llano Estacado Monad Band, and Real Life Rock & Roll Band. Weathers also produces recordings for the Full Spectrum and Other Minds record labels, curates the Longitudes music series at CO-OPt Research + Projects in Lubbock, TX and works as a freelance mixing and mastering engineer."
