Mark R Taylor and Edward Dorrian (& Amy Todman)
I.

Mark R Taylor’s composition At An Exhibition 3 for piano solo (2011-12) was written after seeing Edward Dorrian’s earlier use of Mark R Taylor’s pieces for piano, Failure I-VII (2000-5) to accompany his video (Five Years Failure: A list of everyone who had shown at Five Years 1998-2010) shown at East End Promise: A Story Of Cultural Migrants 1984-2000 (at Londonewcastle Redchurch St. in 2010). It's worth noting that Failure I-VII (2000-5) had in fact, been composed partially in response to a 2000 work by Edward Dorrian at Five Years entitled, Failure.
Mark R Taylor has further cited the index of the book by Edward Dorrian and Amy Todman Doing Fine... What can I do? (History) [1] as a possible reference for how the piece might be regarded.

Are these readings? Perhaps. For How to Write: Reading Groups, a recording of Mark R Taylor’s performance, made by Edward Dorrian will accompany a ‘reading’of the identified part of the Doing Fine... What can I do? (History) index.

[1] Doing Fine... What can I do? (History) was a collaborative work made for the Five Years project:-
Five Years: Fragments (2013)
