An exhibition of cutting edge musical compositions by Polish artist Wojciech Kosma, in which art, artist and audience intersect. This autumn IMT will be hosting an interactive exhibition of Kosma’s scores, directions for musical pieces and art works, the majority of which have never been published or performed before.

Many of Kosma’s compositions use radical or bizarre methods of working with music and its relationship to the human body and ask alternately for specific forms of human interaction or endurance. His poetic and conceptual scores and performances combine elements of psychology and physiology, but also pornography, logic and irony, with traditional musical notation and frequently involving the participants in the performance’s documentation. This is music that simultaneously asks us to engage with each other and with our own bodies, always revealing more than we thought we knew.  read more »
