Walid Raad on A.R.T.
“The D.U.C’s commitment to books is not only a commitment to writers, makers, designers, and readers; and to the libraries that house, care, and lend books. But it is also a commitment to all margins (physical, social, economic, ideological, sexual, ethnic, cultural, spiritual, etc.) and to what is said and unsaid between lines and images.” (1)
Notes
Lisa Pearson on Felix Gonzalez-Torres: Photostats
"Most people encounter a Felix Gonzalez-Torres work in a museum, and it can be a revelatory encounter. But not everyone goes to a museum, and there are certain kinds of experiences that are difficult to have in that space... Books can do something different: they give you time and the ability to return, again and again."
Imane Boukaila and Chris Martin on Unrestricted Interest
"On any given Friday, during our one-hour session through Unrestricted Interest, we might talk about anything from poetics to neologisms (“hacking language norms”) to tramp life to the kindredness of fish to neurodivergent revolution. I support her with her writing and she supports me with my thinking."
