«There are no inanimate objects. In the night, city bridges shrug off the day’s heat and groaning gird themselves for tomorrow’s. Paintings grow cataracts. Wooden chairs and tables disappear secretly, even as we work and dine, very slowly, not a splinter at a time. Plastic packets and cigarette butts mutate from inorganic to organic, like waking pupae. With enough time, the landfills eventually become empty, and gulls float to other landfills. Like all living things, objects slowly, slowly stop. They have always started stopping.»
This publication is a double catalogue for the solo exhibitions idiot Cards For A Bygone Revolt and Lost Allusions presented at the Norwegian galleries NoPlace (Oslo) and Entree (Bergen) in October-December 2013.
