FOURTH THING by Fiona Templeton, who writes: “Each week of the 6-week exhibition Achipelago I will creative an invisible thing to install on a shelf.

By the end of the exhibition there will be six shelves, each with a thing.”

BULLETINS by Mary Yacoob collects 19 individual bulletins that were Mary’s contribution to VerySmallKitchen’s long distance residency at the AC Institute, New York City, in Sep-Oct 2010. BULLETINS begins with an index, a listing of times and places these drawings took place, a record of a moment, the form, the line, and the emergent structure.

lilmp by seekers of lice unfolds a poetics entwined in the materiality and soundscapes of its (own) language.  Try saying the title aloud. Not unpronouncable, but hard for the mouth and tongue to negotiate between that second “l” and “m.” Maybe this is a palindrome, but the way back poses even severer problems! lilmp is improvisatory, diaristic, re-searching, close to home as it heads out, scouring through windows and along streets, adrift in its vocabularies…

LIKE IT IS: PRELUDE by Nyeema Morgan is the first e-book of the FESTIVAL OF NEARLY INVISIBLE PUBLISHING. A festival in itself, a document, a proposal, of something that has happened, will happen and won’t. Of necessity the book form offers a coherent sequence, a momentary sense of order, but only to enable the diverse wholes that LIKE IT IS: PRELUDE proposes…

WORK IN PROGRESS by Mary Paterson reveals the extent of what is at stake in the notion of WORK IN PROGRESS: the texts, books, writings such work is constituted by, and the libraries, book cases, and archives that they become part of; the relation of objects to memory; the transformations wrought when one process, person, and/or media makes space for and invites another into its own unfolding.

NOTES by Rachel Lois Clapham, began as a live performance for the ART WRITING FIELD STATION, becoming a sequence of drawing-writings (NOTES) proposing a gestural calligraphic, asemic, documenting, and (glyphic-) exploratory art writing. NOTES of the moment, inhabiting past, present and future. As its paired epigrams remind us: “One of the pressures of writing is bodily” and “Movement is necessarily punctual.”

TEXT AS TOOLKIT: A Practical Handbook by Tamarin Norwood is the first in a series of e-chapbooks developed from the Art Writing Field Station. As Tamarin observes in her introduction: “TEXT AS TOOLKIT proposes a methodology for reading and hence for writing.” The resulting sequence of texts, quotations, and spaces is both essay, performance script, and workbook, aiming at its own obsolescene through the “robust and raucous explorations” it hopes to prompt in its readers.
