      We can draw a line from the tip of our pencil to our piece of paper and we have a dot. We can draw a line from our piece of paper to a person we love and when the person dies we can still have the line that touched the person. We can draw a line from [...]

    • Listen to MAKING IT SOUND LIKE I AM MAKING ART FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES December 10, 2009
      If you missed me making it sound like I was making art for fifteen minutes on Resonance FM the other week, you can hear it again below. It was originally broadcast on November 16th as part of the antepress art writing programme Digestives. My next Digestives programme isn’t until early February. In the meantime here’s a [...]

    • Beaks December 6, 2009
      This afternoon I drew the tip of my pencil with itself and the nib of my biro with itself. I drew them in my line drawing book, which makes them the first traditionally representational drawings on its pages. They continue my exploration of the line as a representational tool that joins word to thing, and [...]
    • 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 [...]

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 [...]

Axisweb: The love affair between the museum and the arts of sound.

Posted on September 3, 2007 by Tamarin

While I’m on the subject of the Funny Noises exhibition, I found an article on axisweb.org the other day by Lina Dzuverovic about the relationship between the museum and what she prefers to call the ‘arts of sound’. Lina co-founded Electra and has worked for The Lux Centre, the ICA and Mute Magazine, and her [...]

Review: Hreinn Fridfinnsson

Exhibition: Hreinn Fridfinnsson
Serpentine Gallery
17 July – 2 September
A friend came with me to the Serpentine in the rain today. He’s a gardener and he had an unexpected day off either because of the rain or despite it, I’m not sure which. They asked him to take off his wellingtons at the door and walk around [...]
