The Stinging Fly

I recently received the hard copy of the most recent edition of the Stinging Fly. Chuffed to be involved (having my work on the cover) as its full of amazing writers and to me reading it is like watching magic being performed, writing being an art I haven’t cultivated but these people have and magically so; they’re magicians. New writers and new writing. Wonderful, beautiful object it is <3 check them out: https://stingingfly.org/

Very pleased with how my first collab exhibition went with lauren drummond. The opening night was a jolly good laugh with plenty of rum and coke going around, keeping the art crowd cultured and drunk. 

This didn’t really happen, rather, I colonized my friend, artist Lauren Drummonds art work (https://www.laurendrummond.co.uk/)

because it exists in an alternative spatio-corpoReality, there need not be any congruence from one shot to the other (despite referring back to the same space, place, time, event-the exhibition opening night). In this way I can spread my process across the shots and in so doing have the otherwise separate moments that would usually lead to a final piece, come together as a final piece. Like you see here. The different ‘moments’ and mutations of the coca-capture art piece I made over the past few weeks has spread its history, memory, onto laurens artwork. Very colonizing just like coco-capture is. So this I find very satisfying and will do more of it. May even go to the fancy galleries and exhibit with them. Similar to what I do with shop window displays. Im like horses shite, im everywhere. Temporal tweaker.

"Not one of you so-called friends came forward to support my RosenClocks business. With no demand, the factories were left derelict and fell into ruin. I visited today in order to salvage some of the stock, and to my horror the watches had began to mutate into vulgar golden alien forms. My beautiful silken watches! Grotesquely deformed, slithering and expanding without the needed pruning of capital. Shame on you all."

I feel like I'm from the future visiting the artifact that is the present when it comes to shopping malls

So I found these lil paper feet years ago on the street whilst walking about in tenerife (I have them hanging on my wall as they are very quaint looking). Turns out they are for selling ankle bracelets on and so now I'm making lotsa pseudo commodities, being a bit of a peddler, I decided to start making my own lil feet cards using photos of my veiny feet, squashed not so elegantly into the standard template. Cinderlla vibes. Turns out I'm an ugly sister....

RosenClocks

The science fiction of everyday objects introduces RosenStocks tm

And RosenStocks brings you RosenClocks



When reading my boyfriends philosophical notes (notes which will accumulate and create his upcoming book) I had the urge to science-fictionalize them, lovingly. Lovingly as a multiplying divergent movement as opposed to a reductive capturing that would clearly fall short of representing his work. And so it should as representing is not the most enjoyable thing one can do with another’s treasures.
Diverging, i use his name RosenStocks for what will be a fictitious brand.

And i like his watch very much...
I want it... 

So i take it!
(through the assimilating system of collage. Collage captures capital?)

The wording is his (with a few additions and alterations) but through taking them into this sci-fi realm I help myself play with, or rather perform ideas in order to understand them but mostly envision what the world would, could, look like if such ideas became operative; ‘what would THAT look like?’. Collage as speculative play. The corporate
as its economically and libidinally tweaked. Tweaked in service of who? Well… me. 

I am much too impatient to learn how to use more advanced tech, so when it is my moment to model this brand I simply use the ‘beauty’ filter on my phone, a very basic airbrushing, I look quite dashing! And as is usual with my collaging, all of it is done by hand given I cannot use photoshop (and dont want to), so a case of printing-cutting sticking-printing-repeat. 

Capital captures collage right back as i go shopping for negroni cocktail ingredients. I am given this at the till:

for kids presumably, an incentive to shop. Miniature cardboard products. I do like miniature things ALOT. I will make my own little shop whilst drinking negroni.
Cheers to that.
