‘instructions_for ...’ Composing instructions for a collaborative creative practice led by Rob Lycett.
Friday 12th September
1-4pm
Duration: 3 hours
‘instructions_for ...’ is a workshop/collaboration that will compose a collection of universal instructions (scores to be performed), each presented in the form of a four-line poem. Making use of the books in the ‘In a Land’ library, participants will write their own reactions to four keywords: seed, mode, make, show.
Together, we will publish a co-authored pamphlet of poetic instructions that will be archived in the ‘In a Land’ library, as a resource for use during future art/writing club sessions.
Participants can be from any creative background. This is not a ‘writing’ workshop (but language will be our material).
This workshop will introduce, and link together, the following creative ideas, methodologies and practices:
‘The Poetics of the Open Work’ - Umberto Eco (1989) {monoskop.org}
‘Grapefruit’ - Yoko Ono (1964) {monoskop.org}
‘Oblique Strategies’ - Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt (1975)
‘Game Poems’ - Harry Josephine Giles (2015)
'Slowly Turning Narrative' - Bill Viola (1992) ‘Hylas’ - Rob Lycett (2023) Rob Lycett, September, 2025
