    • 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 [...]

    • 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 [...]

    • The Real Experiment November 4, 2009

Review: Robert McNally

Posted on July 26, 2007 by Tamarin

Exhibition: Robert McNally
One in the Other, 45 Vyner St, London E2 9DQ, 28 June – 29 July
It’s hard to resist doing the obvious and situating Robert McNally’s minutely detailed and painstakingly executed pencil drawings somewhere between the otherworldly geometries of M.C.Escher and the irreverent fantasies of Paul Noble. The exceptional execution of the work draws [...]
