Launch of Uh Duh by Sarah Jacobs / Wednesday 25 January 2012
Please join us at 7pm on Wednesday 25th January 2012 at X Marks the Bökship for a launch and performance reading of Uh Duh by Sarah Jacobs, the inaugural title of the LemonMelon/VerySmallKitchen book series:
The conversation between a poet and an artist at their first meeting was recorded. An extract from the transcription is presented:
‘So how would you where would you how would you describe what you what you do?’
*
“This poet and artist are a slippery pair. The gaps left by their absent presence are clearly visible on the page as a space for the reader to interact with the text. The particularity of their laughter disturbs me…ha, ha, ha…heh, heh, heh. Like David Bowie’s laughing gnome I can’t quite catch them yet at the same time get left imagining a scary encounter over lunch in which the pair squirt caviar and honey at one another in a Paul McCarthyesque carnival of filth, whilst their transparent words collide in mid-air, smash into one another and leave us quite spent. Writing this tough is a car crash. ” – Dr. Simon Morris

Launch of Monaco Magazine, Issue 4 / Wednesday 23 November 2011, 7 – 9pm
Wednesday 23 November 2011, 7 – 9pm
Launch of Monaco Magazine, Issue 4
Monaco is a magazine that, instead of reviewing or previewing, is devoted to sharing ideas and information about things that haven’t happened, and maybe never will: artworks that are impossible to realise, projects that haven’t got off the ground, the beginnings of ideas, or research that is still ongoing. The aim is not to catalogue or archive these projects, instead they are considered as starting points—for future projects, or for conversations—as readers become contributors and contributors become readers.
