Oceanographer of O: Cake books by Rose Finn-Kelcey
http://theunderfoot.blogspot.com/2014/02/cake-books-by-rose-finn-kelcey.html
Friday, 28 February 2014. Cake books by Rose Finn-Kelcey. Guy Brett, Sarah Kent, Michael Stanley (Ridinghouse, 2013). So sad to learn of the death of Rose Finn-Kelcey. A year ago, at Karsten Schubert's, recall the table full of 'books' she'd made, of sponge-cake, with iced jackets, to match the monograph about her that was launched that night.

Saturday, 14 May 2011. DUMMY BOOKS: please do not touch. Yesterday evening at the Wallace Collection. Of the books being discussed, and (. In the same room) a glass of wine. Many spaces in the Wallace collection are charmingly decorated with unexpected items: dozens of elaborate, empty antique picture frames cluster on the walls of the lecture theatre, and in the seminar room eccentric collages of small labels, signs and notices (above).

Oceanographer of O: January 2009
http://theunderfoot.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 January 2009. A book by Stuart Montgomery / Little presses display. In Brighton for the Zukovsky A-24 seminar last Friday, H brought me back a present: Stuart Montgomery's. The poetry's growing on me. A decent version of the Homeric story, verbally textured and slightly disjunctive, is interrupted towards the end by a series of shorter more detached pieces (that I like best), which include more immediate, self-reflexive elements (i.e. it mentions poetry .). Here's a very brief account:. The s...

Thursday, 15 October 2009. Off-topic) besoin de vélo. At the Calder Bookshop this evening read from the English translation of his. The Ventoux has no in-itself. . It's yourself you're climbing. If you don't want to know, stay at the bottom. You must go back", said M. Fournel. "Ride 28 x 28.". The audience seemed entirely composed of cyclists rather than literary types (apart from the venerable John Calder himself), and no sufficiently coherent question framed itself in my mind about the relation between...

Monday, 23 November 2009. Dark afternoon (Sophie Calle at the Whitechapel). The challenge is to get through to the winter solstice without succumbing to depression. A large Sophie Calle exhibition fills 3 of the galleries, including the work I saw in Venice, 2007. I like it better here, in (I think? Where the same little narrative is rendered in many different versions. Saturday, 21 November 2009. Theatre and all (Chris Goode). With added 'creatures'). There's a video. Of Chris with the young actor Jonny...

Sunday, 2 November 2014. Art and the WW1 commemoration controversy. I partly agree with Jonathan Jones's criticism of the official spectacular and attractive poppy installation, but not with his assertion that a true work of art about World War 1 can only be 'obscene'. In yesterday's Guardian. Jones approvingly illustrated for example an Otto Dix drawing of a worm-eaten skull.
