 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

/*Works on Paper */presents two interconnected activities by Mexico City 
/ Zürich-based composer *Manfred Werder*, an outdoor dérive and an 
indoor performance.

To participate in the dérive, arrive at Passages Bookshop between 1:45 
and 2:00 pm. There will be a break between the dérive and the evening 
performance.

Werder’s Portland activities continue the artist's practice of 
inscription, which includes ongoing writing projects /20160/ (three 22 
meter long scrolls), /20170/ (a stack of found paper), /20190/ (historic 
postcards), and /[ the music of history ]/ — described as "the 
inscription of the earth, that is, both the earth that inscribes and the 
earth that is inscribed."

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

*Manfred Werder*, composer and performer, is wandering through the 
abundance in which he traces all possible enunciation regarding the 
world. His recent work /[ the music of history ]/ consists of 
inscription of found materials through typewriters and of public space 
through dérive. Earlier works include /stück 1998/, a 4,000-page score 
whose nonrecurring and intermittent performative realization has been 
ongoing since December 1997. He lives in situ.

/*Works on Paper*/ supports activities that use concepts, 
characteristics, and histories of the book, and entanglements with text, 
as a frame for exploratory practice across the arts. This season's 
series, /*Experiments in Language and Sound*/, which highlights artists 
working at the intersection of experimental music and poetry, has been 
organized by David Abel and Robert Blatt. For more information, please 
visit worksonpaper.ricercata.org.

/*Works on Paper: Experiments in Language and Sound*/ is funded in part 
by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and with support from the Swiss 
Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
