This Ain’t the Rosedale Library

Shuffle (by Christan Marclay) is a series of photographs of musical scores – from a few notes on a door to four whole staffs of music – found in the urban wild. Selecting randomly from a deck of 72 index cards inscribed with scraps of music, Anthony Easton will create a score to be played by musician Sundar Subramanian over the course of an hour, creating an aleatory performance unlikely to be repeated.
