Viewing single post of blog Our Yesterday Was Precious

A day of research, thinking and reading in preparation for writing/making the text for my piece “I have Nothing To Say’ for the Inhospitable show.

This has variously involved, in no particular order:

-looking at Douglas Gordon early text pieces

– looking at Frances Stark drawing and text works

– reading Umberto Eco “The Poetics of The Open Work” – in Claire Bishop’s ‘Participation’.

– thinking about sincerity and irony in:

-the writings of David Foster Wallace

-Lionel Trilling’s ‘Sincerity and Authenticity’

-the work of Bas Jan Ader

– thinking about the idea of gift in:

-David Foster Wallace’s short story ‘The Devil is a Busy Man’

– the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres

So now my brain hurts. Off to watch a trashy film. Good night.
