Hello folx! I'm wanting to expand my 'database' / widening my awareness of good, enquiring, critical folx for recommending to other artists. Who would you want / trust to write about your practice? Who would be your dream practice-interrogator / critical-friend? Suggestions via DM, please.

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Woah, quite a night! Thanks to everyone who turned out! Bit tipsy. Home now, and to bed with a nip of Penderyn single malt and a Twin Peaks binge. (Black Lodge = hard edge abstraction).

Sylvia Rivera (1951–2002) was Marsha P. Johnson’s best friend and a fellow badass pioneer in the fight LGBTQIA+ rights. In her own words, “If it wasn’t for the drag queen, there would be no gay liberation movement. We’re the front-liners.”

For a while now, I've ve been using Instagram as a studio diary and as an out-of-the-archive journal. I'm going to start doing that here, too. Today's out-of-the-archive is a shot of a solo exhibition of 'projection paintings' at the Leeds Met Gallery in 2003.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

Highlight of 2024-25 was/is having my strange scrunchy 'painting' Sage (2023) hung as part of Colour, Line, Form at Graves Gallery. Installation shot shows it hung between an ace Bridget Riley quartet & a couple of delicious 1967 Fred Bazler paintings, with a sublime Naum Gabo sculpture to the fore.

Had a shit day? One in which you realise you are seen as a second-rate object of contempt & ridicule with a future of humuliation & penury is laid out before you? I recommend a RinQuinQuintini. Vodka Martini with a slug of RinQuinQuin, the total fucking queen of dry peach vermouth aperitifs.

Not sure what 'finally changing' means. Ffs, yes, if you have an accent it's really fucking important that they aren't, in terms of cultural/ societal representation treated as though they are not A THING. Just exhausted by the thought that most people don't get this.

Shout out to David Bakan for coining the term 'methodolatry' in 1969, a term to denote the "mindless use of methods & the sacrifice of substantive questions to methodological expediency."

Following a spring clean at Longbarrow HQ, I've found a number of hardbacks (ex-bookshop, damaged in transit, etc) that are perfectly readable, but not saleable. If you're in Sheffield (postcodes S1-S12 only), and you'd like a free book, message your postal address and I'll deliver it on Saturday.
