Beginning to Speak

On 7 June at Spike Island, Bristol, I will join artist in residence Tamarin Norwood to talk of beginnings, in relation to our respective work and current research.

Working from a paragraph by Gabriel Josipovici and a paragraph by Clarice Lispector, that we exchanged a few months ago, we will present a number of reflections on beginnings, necessity, remoteness, friction, blindness.

‘I hadn’t turned the page.’
(Gabriel Josipovici, Everything Passes)

‘And it is no use to try to take a shortcut and want to start, already knowing that the voice says little.’
(Clarice Lispector, The Passion According to G.H.)

This event is part of Tamarin Norwood’s POINT TIME LINE. http://www.spikeisland.org.uk/events/talks/talk-beginning-to-speak/
