Nora Schultz

Nora Schultz’s ‘DaysByDice’ is composed of twelve large hardboard cards and a text. There are two sets of six boards; each board has a similar but not identical counterpart. The boards’s backs are printed in two patterns (red/green and yellow/black) both suggesting a grid being pulled out of joint.

DaysBy Dice is a calendar for a mutant time. Instead of prescribed continuity it envisions discontinuities, squiggly time and causal wraps. When placed on a flat surface, the boards can be arranged next to each other and then rotated any which way. In this calendar there are days, and days, and no days, and days. Questions such as How? When? Why? may flash up and disappear in a myriad of options. There’s no fixed or even preferable transition. The relation between cause and action is wobbly, time’s tendrils have tangled up. It’s all up to a throw of the dice, and dice’s nature is to never stick with one decision.
