From Tate.etc
Milan Kundera
For a long time, Francis Bacon and Samuel Beckett made up a couple in my imaginary gallery of modern art. Then I read the interview Bacon did with Michel Archimbaud: “I’ve always been amazed by this pairing of Beckett and me,” Bacon said. “I’ve always felt that Shakespeare expressed much better and more precisely and more powerfully what Beckett and Joyce were trying to say.” And then later: “I wonder if Beckett’s ideas about his art haven’t wound up killing off his creation. There’s something at once too systematic and too intelligent in him, that may be what’s always bothered me.” And again: “In painting, we always leave in too much that is habit, we never eliminate enough, but in Beckett I’ve often had the sense that as a result of seeking to eliminate, nothing was left any more, and that nothingness finally sounded hollow.”
When one artist talks about another one, he is always talking (indirectly, in...

Whilst getting quietly annoyed with the Modart website (you can’t link to anything) and marvelling at the sheer awfulness of the clothing in it’s Secret Stash section, I discovered this interview from Modart issue 8 with Adam Neate.
This was pre-Elms, old BC, mid-2006 if I recall:
From modart issue #8
SELL OUT - the attitude of Adam Neate
We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream, and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of d... more
Even most vegetarians I know agree that there are few things that can’t be improved by wrapping them in bacon, but what about your iPhone? Now you don’t have to get your phone all greasy to find out. A new case from Germany is made to look like your iDevice is wrapped in a slice of delicious bacon. Pictures after the break.

Liebes-Lied
Wie soll ich meine Seele halten, daĂź
sie nicht an deine rĂĽhrt? Wie soll ich sie
hinheben ĂĽber dich zu andern Dingen?
Ach gerne möchte ich sie bei irgendetwas
Verlorenem im Dunkel unterbringen
an einer fremden stillen Stelle, die
nicht weiterschwingt, wenn diene Tiefen schwingen.
Doch alles, was uns anrĂĽhrt, dich und mich,
nimmt uns zusammen wie ein Bogenstrich,
die aus zwei Saiten eine Stimme zieht.
Auf welches Instr... more
one thing about staying at my uncle’s is that there is cable tv. i usually don’t watch tv, but for the past week or so, i’ve been mildly hooked on a few programs, all on national geographic channel.
one of them is ‘ long way down ‘. ewan mcgregor goes from scotland to cape town on a motorbike. ’nuff said.
another is ‘ don’t tell my mother ‘. what caught my eye first was the premise of the show - the host, Diego Buñuel, visits countri... more
i have to say. having used the same old phone for the past six years or so, i am really liking my new SE G900. it’s spiffy, with an interactive touchpad, but still with buttons that i can push and that light up to my delight (i can’t deal with phones that have no buttons and only one big screen - i am mentally incapable of not having buttons to push; besides, they are so counter-intuitive).
one great thing about this phone is that it is so user-friendly; it’s a grea... more
love From: wendytai.com Post Date: 2008-08-19 07:03:50
love is obviously an enormous topic to attempt - but during this past month of distress at home, i have a few things i’d like to express.
i spent the past 23 years watching one of the greatest love stories unfold. while there were, of course, the usual arguments that everyone has, i have always had an incredibly loving family. watching my parents during the past month or so, i have learned a few things about what it means to truly love.
one of the most deciding elements, while weR... more
