This episode presents George Brecht’s event score titled Thursday. This conceptual piece that relates rather to the tradition of musical notations than to the object-oriented realm of visual arts exists in various material instantiations. In museum collections, it appears as a note scribbled down on a piece of a creased white sheet of paper as one of the cards in Water Yam – a box collection of Brecht’s scores, assembled and designed by George Maciunas and published by Fluxus in 1963. In this episode our guest, Jules Pelta Feldman examines both the material and conceptual dimensions of this piece, comparing it with other Fluxus works and practices and contemplating what it means to perform Thursday and how this work could be potentially activated.
