INTERNATIONAL

International is a musical performance carried out with simple and ephemeral methods and which changes according to the place of its presentation. I draw a chalk figure on the floor that resembles a circular hopscotch. This drawing is the musical score of “The International” by Pierre Degeyter. For two days, I will be working with a small group of people who will learn to play a small pipe while marching on the score drawing on the floor. In Madrid, the piece will be performed by people who live in or take part in the life of the Arganzuela district.

Julien Collieux (1976, Francia). “Julien Collieux considers art as a way to raise awareness and finally question our role models and our ability to be in this world. Therefore it is necessary to follow and play by his rules. Everything is re-shuffled to take into account an almost inherent childishness. The artist seeks to illustrate through playful game practice the ethical experience suited for each individual including himself. To follow the rules already set (to their limits), and explore the elements implemented in a specific system using reversible language and signs, or music, is to understand how to compose and how to play.”
