A solitary curlew with raised, curved beak walks across the foreshore at low tide. Sand and mud is peppered with dark clumps of rocks and seaweed.
who knows how curlew
measures the arc-line of time?
ebb tides & edges?

Did you know that what's likely Gordon Matta-Clark's only surviving public work is a small cage for a rosebush in the East Village? Very happy to report on its revival as my last story for the year www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/12/20/g...

A seaweed covered post at low tide resembles a black-cloaked standing figure watching the waves coming in to the harbour. Three smaller posts remain just above the waterline but will soon be submerged. Silt and tidewrack covered rocks are in the foreground.

"What I carry with me is more like a comedown, a blanket around my thoughts or a perceptual filter. I remember it like I would remember a fever, or the pandemic: a zone outside of time that cannot be brought realistically back to mind."

Tar-like choppy water of the Firth of Forth with dark rain clouds above. An arc of white light is breaking through.
Dark ambient afternoon, tar water, light rain, worn as mist. A fracture of light heralds the arc, the spill over, the dissolve to come.
Programme notes showing poster and installation image for an exhibition by Jean-Michel Basquiat & John Cage at Fruitmarket Gallery 1984.
Interesting to see the poster for the original exhibition in 1984 in the programme notes.
Programme notes for the last night of Deep Time: Basquiat & Cage festival at Fruitmarket Edinburgh.
A fitting end to Deep Time: Basquiat & Cage 84.24 last night with an explosive performance by The Rolling Calf & an improvised, manipulated conversation between Basquiat & Cage from turntablist NikNak. In addition to Counterflows & Tectonics, a great addition to new music in Scotland.
