    • Line Drawn from Pencil to Paper December 3, 2009
      A line drawn from pencil to paper makes a dot. It’s a dot upwards through space that begins on the paper and travels to the tip of the pencil, but because paper and pencil meet so closely, the upwards projection of the dot from the paper is very slim. [...]
    • Smiles on Paper November 30, 2009
      On Saturday I presented a new work at the Stanley Picker gallery during the Writing Exhibitions symposium. Here’s an outline of my work, which I called Genuine Smiles: A sheet of paper is attached to one wall of the gallery, and attached just below it is a long piece of string with a sharpened pencil fixed [...]

    • Tamarin is talking very FAST November 26, 2009
      Rachel Lois Clapham and Alex Eisenberg documented today’s 10 Performances event with a live feed they updated throughout the day. By the time my performance What To Do begins they’re halfway down their third page. I love their occasional attempts to type out variations on everything I was saying. You can read what they’ve written [...]

      Tomorrow I’m performing a revised version of my illustrated talk What To Do as part of the Beyond Text 10 Performances event.

    • Sneak Preview of DO SOMETHING November 19, 2009

      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.

    • Describing Genuine Smiles November 14, 2009
      This evening I’m going to describe to some friends the following work, which is the same work that appears in the diagram I drew last week. We won’t be able to put the work into practice because we’ll be at someone’s home and we won’t be able to draw lines all over its walls, and [...]

Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth

Posted on October 18, 2007 by Tamarin

I haven’t seen the Doris Salcedo’s new work at the Tate Modern yet (I want to catch her associated show at the White Cube first), but Adrian Searle is one of the many who have, and his review on the Guardian Unlimited Blog is worth a look. Not so much for what he writes, [...]

Having trouble with durational film and video work

Posted on September 6, 2007 by Tamarin

We still don’t know how to present moving image artwork, but it’s not for want of trying. Almost a year ago I went to a memorably poor tank.tv screening at the Tate Modern called I Am Future Melancholic. I’ve just found the notes I made at the time, and scribbled in pencil on the programme [...]

Review: Global Cities

Posted on August 18, 2007 by Anton Viesel

Exhibition: Global Cities
Tate Modern, Turbine Hall
20 June – 27 August
It comes as a welcome surprise that a show as profoundly vacuous as Global Cities should expose its superficiality in various and complex ways.
Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall is undoubtedly a difficult space to fill sensibly with anything other than a giant turbine. Putting a [...]
