This image depicts a performance score in black ink against a white background, with exhibition information in the bottom-right corner (“nevernotmusic / By Udita Upadhyaya / At Roman Susan / 2.18 - 3.11.2018”). The score’s text includes abstract gestural drawings and words/phrases in English and a few in Hindi. Text appears in different sizes and spatial orientations (e.g., right-side up, upside-down, diagonal, vertical, and organic shapes), with some words/phrases expanded in space, condensed, or intersecting with other text.
