From the “Schizo Culture” issue of Semiotext(e) 1978. Pat Steir (RIP) was on the editorial committee and helped design this issue. She also contributed this concrete grid poem. #patsteir #semiotexte
Anna Mendelssohn! What an amazing poet. Barely published in her lifetime )1948-2009) but now we have this 700-plus-page collection: “can’t anything happen in this house/ the words get lost after a verse/ give me some books which aren’t about fields/ give me a bunch of primroses/ your lady mum in your mucky dress” from “Eleven “ #annamendelssohn
While waiting for Heather to unload a kiln I was wandering around Third Coast Clay in Houston when I noticed the labels on an old shipping crate: from British art dealer Bernard Jacobson (who I met back in the day) who was shipping a work by Larry Bell. One of his glass boxes, I’m guessing. #larrybell
Last week I made a nighttime pilgrimage to 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields. If you’ve read Rachel Lichtenstein and Iain Sinclair’s 1999 book “Rodinsky’s Room” you will know why. #iainsinclair #rachellichtenstein #jewishlondon
If you’re in Houston this Thursday I will be interviewing Doug Woodham at the University of Houston School of Art about his new book on Jean-Michel Basquiat. #jeanmichelbasquiat
