    About the Book

    Edit

    A book of open-ended scores by Blake Carrington that combines the architectural plans of religious spaces, stadiums, offices, barns and homes with site-specific infographics poetry.



    Hans Ulrich Obrist, speaking of Mies van der Rohe's temporary structure the Barcelona Pavilion, says that the pavilion's plan is a score for rebuilding it. For our purposes, each notated plan is a score for collaboratively building something ephemeral, immaterial, active, abstract or ambiguous.

    About the Creator

    Blake Carrington
    New York

    Blake Carrington (b. 1980) operates within the spheres of the visual, sound, and performing arts. His work in all of these forms displays a minimal aesthetic and finds resonance with the graphic sign systems of architectural plans and other minimal spatial representations. Last year he completed a commission for Radio del Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, performed in the River to River Festival in New York, and has recently been artist-in-residence at LMCC's Swing Space on Governors Island and at Haeinsa Temple in South Korea. In 2011 he received a NYSCA grant in support of his debut CD release concert at the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in New York. He has also completed residencies at HIAP in Helsinki, Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida, and Rustines Lab in Montreal. Blake was born in Indiana and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
