Word Play at the Whitechapel Gallery

Tomorrow evening from 7pm antepress are hosting an art writing event at the Whitechapel. Here’s a bit about us from their website.

Continuing the series of playful and participatory events exploring language and its parameters, writers collaborate with artists to produce games and scenarios that challenge the audiences’ relationship to language.

This Word Play event is hosted by imprint and project platform antepress. The audience is invited to create six unique ‘artist books’, each based on a famous work of art. The books will be published on the night and will be downloadable from the antepress website. antepress was set up in 2008 by Julia Calver, Patrick Coyle, Cressida Kocienski, Claire Nichols, Tamarin Norwood and Gemma Sharpe.

Word Play at the Whitechapel Gallery

Two Thursdays ago I went to the Whitechapel Gallery for an event called Word Play. We all stuck together lines and words and phrases cut out of two texts, and from these fragments and agglutinations we built a kind of play in three parts. Some of the agglutinations were exquisite.

I made one particularly nice sentence which I tried to steal and keep for myself by sellotaping it in a line to the table where I was sitting, but then I moved to be better positioned for the scissors and when I got back it had gone.

How Things Began

This afternoon’s Digestives broadcast on Resonance FM is How Things Began, a conversation between Adrian Rifkin and Tamarin Norwood in response to the 1950s children’s radio programme of the same name.

TONIGHT: Voicing the Silence

Denisa Nenova has invited Cliff Wright and me to join her for an artists’ discussion at Borders Bookshop on Charing Cross Road this evening.

Denisa is performing her new work Voicing the Silence, I’m presenting my text work Palomar Translations, and Cliff will demonstrate the way he teaches people to draw by seeing rather than thinking. In showing these three practices together we want to begin a discussion about pulling language away and keeping the stuff that’s left over.

There’s a short story of mine in the latest issue of Garageland, which comes out today. Garageland is one of the publications produced by Transition Gallery. Each issue has a theme of some kind, and this one is about nostalgia.
