The Tiger's Mind - Beatrice Gibson and Will Holder

Description

In 2010, a production process was instigated by filmmaker Beatrice Gibson and typographer Will Holder, with the intention of using British composer Cornelius Cardew's musical score The Tiger's Mind as a means of producing speech. Since the score concerns the changing relations between six characters in production, practitioners from other fields (musicians and visual artists) were invited to three conversations at Ku]nstlerhaus Stuttgart, Kunstverein in Amsterdam, and CAC Bretigny. After each conversation, a printed document was made and distributed amongst the characters, to serve as a score for subsequent conversations. Any other ends would be found in conversation. After some time it became clear that a film would be made: Beatrice Gibson's The Tiger's Mind. This book is a document of its making.

Beatrice Gibson is an artist based in London. Gibson was studio artist in residence at the Whitney Museum of American Art ISP (Independent Study Program) and is currently a PhD student at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, with Eyal Weizman.
