Gunnel Pettersson - Böcker

”Recycling the Work Process” contains a graphic score, texts and Rosén’s own pictures that help the reader to understand and interpret the graphic score. The score is a description — a way of conveying a feeling and an experience — of Ann’s forty-two-year artistic process. Based on works, projects and time periods, Ann Rosén has created symbols that she uses in the composition to indicate different types of playing styles, free to interpret: Resonance, Accelerando full stop, Back and forth, Change direction, Noise, Mute and Resistance. Essays by Bennett Hogg composer (UK), Gunnel Pettersson artist (SE) and Julian Cowley music journalist (UK).

BioAnn Rosén is a composer, musician and visual artist who began her career in the visual arts in the 1980s with interactive, intelligent and intriguing works. Since the 1990s, her artistic focus has been on music and sound art, and Rosén has created more than 100 original works. Rosén’s art revolves around the exploration of interpersonal communication; how we can understand ourselves in relation to the outside world and the barriers that can arise between us and others. Her work has been presented at, among other places, the Royal Swedish Opera and Moderna Museet in Stockholm and The Southbank Centre in London.
