To be read with a friend

Hello, I’d / we’d like to propose a collaborative reading session to sound out some written ideas written, edited, recontexualized and bootlegged in’r suggested book and others to take place on SUNDAY at 3.00pm at 61 WestPrincesStreet an excerpt of the suggestedthe suggested book is called Fortheblindman inthedarkroom lookingfortheblackcat thatisn’tthere, composed we think, by Will Holder , and/or Mr. Huberman and/or the clandestine terrorist group Dexter Sinister. Originally maybe a children’s book it’s got loads of pictures to read, express, describe, sharereading out aloud circular moving-ly you are so invited. Delivering and listening in turn,webcam – headcam potentially provided yeah.

…Fifty years before conceptualism, Duchamp disrupted the territory of art at its core, by asking,

can one make a work of art is not of ‘Art’?

?Can there be an art that isn’t?

?How can one invent an entirely other way of thinking and knowing?

?Can one imagine a new epistemological map, equipped with an additional dimension that reaches outside and beyond the familiar north/south poles of

knowing
-and-
not-knowing

hello. I met some of you at the financial district walk and talk.

can one make a work of art is not of ‘Art’?

I expect so.

?Can there be an art that isn’t?

most probably

?How can one invent an entirely other way of thinking and knowing?

I’d have to think about it.

?Can one imagine a new epistemological map, equipped with an additional dimension that reaches outside and beyond the familiar north/south poles of

knowing
-and-
not-knowing

It’s not unimaginable.

I’d like to come to one of your things and be around less linear ways of thinking about things than is usual for me. Is the reading thing a thing someone’s who’s new should come to? & if so, 61 WP…west princess street? gotta flat number?

thank you,
Marie

  hi Marie, i think this will be a perfect thing for someone new to come to… please note, we’ve changed the date of this due to quite a few asks by people.
  the flat will be sign posted once you arrive at 61 west princes street

I knew some of the book was familiar… turns out it was an exhibition at ICA which I saw last winter, and have the catalog for – which has excerpts from the book!
