"For my Carte blanche PMU, I decided to use 'event scores'. I draw on the literature of these 'scores' written by artists in the 1960s and 1970s, notably by Fluxus artists but also others such as John Baldessari, who gave lists of subjects to his indecisive students. For me they are rules of the game that give me indications while being open enough to let creativity act. I like to think that my elders thus hold out a hand to me like benevolent teachers in a self-invented art school. Until now I have always worked alone, so to mark a change for the Carte blanche PMU project I am going to introduce a second character. My choice of partner is the dancer and choreographer Vera Nevanlinna, a specialist in American dance such as Deborah Hay, who currently performs with the Cullberg Ballet. My aim is to make a playful series, with lightness of mind and precision of gesture in the execution. The work mixes humour and poetry, in the spirit of Dada and surrealism. The photos do not tell my life, but they speak of what it can be to make art in the continuum of contemporary art history." Elina Brotherus
