Monday, 28 November 2011. Adolf Konrad's packing list, Oscar Bluemner's papers and Franz Kline's grocery list. Wednesday, 23 November 2011. He bent and laid his lips on her hands, which were cold and lifeless. She drew them away, and he turned to the door, found his coat and hat under the gaslight of the hall, and plunged out into the winter night bursting with the belated eloquence of the inarticulate.".

Thursday, 10 October 2013. It is with great pride that I can finally announce the launch of STATIC's Buttons issue. And with huge thanks to Jane Levi, Lina Hakim, Emily Williams, James Hawthorne, John Patrick Attlee, Ben Cranfield and Heather Tilly. The launch saw all manner of buttoning (and some unbuttoning). As well as a curator's introduction to the Touching the Book exhibition and some close-eyed Braille fingering. Our hands were very happy by the end of the evening. I like these machines.

Wednesday, 28 December 2011. So long, farewell. It's always good to try and leave a few bread crumbs on the trail, just in case you ever need to find your way home. Monday, 12 December 2011. Monday, 5 December 2011. Washing your children and their clothes at the same time. A mum is tough but gentle. A mum also seems only to have male offspring . . . Obviously this is amazing.

Monday, 18 March 2013. In praise of things not seen. Where were these sounds coming from? I got close enough to the low stone wall that surrounds the space to notice a long black box dotted with perforations and the occasional blinking diode. The sounds were recorded! The happy orchestra of construction workers never existed! On the gate I read the following proclamation. How can we chain ourselves to them to stop the scheduled dismantling on October 20th?

Monday, 2 December 2013. When she does come, you falter, she fails. That’s her? She’s shrunk several inches since you last saw her, and what terrible ankles. Gradually, your artfulness tries to tell you, you are not in love at all.” Mark Cousins. Because the message somehow met a goblin,. Because your precedents tripped your expectations,. Because your London was still a kaleidoscope. Of names and places any jolt could scramble,. You waited mistaken. The bus from the North. No matter how much you insisted.

Wednesday, 3 April 2013. If I don't reply. If I don’t reply. It’s not because I don’t want to. Or rather, its not because I didn’t ever want to. It’s that somehow the want got lost. Shuffled and resorted amidst other. Emails other questions (other complete. Lacks of questions other asking. Without asking which is the worst. And least pleasant to reply to of all). That now, when I look back. Through the white glare of a snow storm. I find I cannot see at all the time. Or space for getting back to you.

Friday, 22 November 2013. Why oh why the doily. I got to hang out in the tiny NTS radio booth a couple of weekends ago. Listening to Carrie Plitt talk poems and to Octavia Bright, Julith Jedamus and Will Eaves read D.M. Thomas, W.H. Auden, and Elizabeth Bishop. I read 'Why This" by Louis Simpson. Quite close to my idea of heaven. You can listen here. Wednesday, 13 November 2013. You make me want to drink bleach. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I like these machines. Fans in a Flashbulb.
