Notations, protocols, scripts, drawings, diagrams, archives, assemblages, narratives… What if every performance were essentially bound to forms of writing? And what if these traces of an uncertain past contained within them the possibilities of distant futures ? In this lecture series, we will question the relationship between action and score across different fields of practice: artistic, institutional, activist. Artists will come to speak about their relationship to archives as performance scores; activists, about the techniques they use to transmit their actions; curators and archivists will present the tools they deploy to preserve them; exhibition curators will discuss the know-how they develop to (re)activate them.
