u/n multitude 是一个由艺术家和音乐史学家组成的小组,他们的实践与表演和公共活动紧密相关。他们将自己的实践称为 “政治乐谱”,在这种情况下,音乐是一种空隙,在这种空隙中,我们通过体验时间持续性中的独特时刻来理解社会和历史矛盾。音乐和表演成为了政治本身。

u/n multitude  “乐谱” 定义为一连串的行动,这些行动将艺术家、艺术作品和政治背景融合在一起。但是,“政治乐谱”拒绝那种将艺术消解于政治立场的观念。“乐谱” 仍然是自主的脚本或对象,与其产生的后果不可分割。因此,这些 “乐谱” 历史性地对近年来艺术行动主义的失败做出回应,并将艺术作品与其社会阐释之间的广阔空间带回到视野中。在他们的实践中,音乐带有政治效果的音乐,这种政治效果再次成为了审美对象,一个声学世界中的社会雕塑。

2014年至2017年,该小组由Nikita SpiridonovLena ZubtsovaIlya FominIgor KrivdaSonia Rumyantsev等组成。

 

u/n multitude is a community of artists and music historians, whose practice is inextricably linked with the performative and public activities. The authors call their works «political scores». Music in this case is a kind of lacuna for understanding social and historical conflicts through experiencing the moment in its duration. Music and performance become the politics itself. 

u/n multitude defines «score» as a sequence of actions, which connect artist, artwork and political context in a single statement. However, the «political scores» refuse the principle of total dissolution of art in a political gesture. «Scores» are still an autonomous scripts or objects, irreducible to produced consequences. Thus these «scores» historically react to failures of program of art-activism in recent years and bring back the wide-open space between the artwork and the social interpretation. Music for u/n is the music of the political effects which again become an aesthetic object, a kind of social sculpture of acoustic worlds. 

In the period from 2014 to 2017 the group consisted of participants: Nikita Spiridonov, Lena Zubtsova, Ilya Fomin, Igor Krivda, Sonia Rumyantsev and others.
