Documentation of Piotr Bosacki’s first performance of The Fourth Scroll, organized by WRO Art Center in cooperation withWrocław Contemporary Museum. In this piece Bosacki uses one of the so-called ‘netherlandish tricks’ employed by the 15th and 16th-century composers. The trick is that the paper on which musical score is written can be read in the usual way, from left to right, or it can be turned over, illuminated from behind and read backwards. Thus, the same notes can be played simultaneously by two facing each other musicians.

Piotr Bosacki gave his talk at the newly renovated WRO Atelier — an off-gallery and a workshop space — where, as an extension of the WRO Art Center, the main theme is creative experimentation in direct contact with the public. The place has become an area of Bosacki’s latest project Music Graphs. During 4 weeks he has been working in the WRO Atelier on The Fourth Scroll, a new composition for 12 strings. On certain days the public could visit the artist, speak with him and see the evolving “Music Graphs” exhibition of sketches, graphs and scores created during his work.

For me, the process of building is always long, and when I create a construction, it always has 32 versions and different variants, which I then select.

The concept of Music Graphs was the starting point to the discussion about Piotr Bosacki’s other activities, his use of different media and genres, visual representation ofmusic and the performative nature of this project.

Bosacki’s artist talk took place at the newly renovated WRO Atelier — an off-gallery and a workshop space — where, as an extension of the WRO Art Center, the main theme is creative experimentation in direct contact with the public. This space has become a place of Bosacki’s latest project “Music Graphs”. During 4 weeks, he has been working on the composition for 12 strings instruments “The Fourth Scroll” and the “Music Graphs” — exhibition of the sketches, graphs and scores created during his work.

Since my early years, I've mainly been interested in how composers put one note after the next, what is the technology of writing notes.

The concept of this project was the starting point to the discussion about his activities, usage of the media and genres, visual representation of the music and the performative nature of this project.
