A reading for Our Libraries, with MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE

Our Libraries at Tate Library brings the subjective systems of individual libraries, where orderly and logical access may not be the foremost requirement, to the public forum of a national museum library, free and open to all. There are matters of grouping, organising, categorising, and so on; in both situations, decisions must be made. This event presents the processes of decision-making in what Susan Howe called the ‘telepathy of the archive’.

Programme

14.00 Welcome, Gustavo Grandal Montero

14.10 ‘Our Libraries’ presentations, arranged by Sharon Kivland, with Felicity Allen, Paul Buck, Julia Calver, Susan Finlay, Michael Hampton, Rebecca La Marre, Wiebke Leister, Murdo Macdonald, Louis Mason, Timothy Mathews, Joseph Noonan-Ganley, Adrian Rifkin, Isabella Streffen, Frank Wasser and Simon Wortham

15.15 Break, and guided visits to Tate Library stores

16.00 Panel discussion on how to organise a library, moderated by Rosa Appignanesi

Apostrophe Plural

Apostrophe Plural is published in proceedings of CARPA 7: Elastic Writing in Artistic Research.

I understand the internal reading voice, which sounds words silently, as a performer. This performer, I suggest, has the capacity to hold the projective and retroactive movement of syntactical reorganisation that the misplaced apostrophe intonates.

Accidence on Radiophrenia

Accidence, a five minute radio work, will air on Radiophrenia, Thursday 10th February 8am-9am as part of Shorts 4.

‘Accidence’ is a linguistic term, describing how the structures of tense, person and number change the shape of words. This piece for voice, and accompanying cracks and claps, works on accidence as a grammatical encoding of its homophone ‘accidents’ and on accidents’ connoted violence.

Accidence was commissioned by Book Works, for The Happy Hypocrite – Without Reduction, issue 12, 2021, edited by Maria Fusco and originally broadcast 25 September 2021 by Book Works and Resonance Extra.

New writing, Complaint, in Setting A Bell Ringing: After an Unmaster Class with Anne Boyer published by MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE.

This book is a demonstrative work of unmastery in response to the session of February 24, 1979, ‘Setting a Bell Ringing’, in _The Preparation of the Novel. _It is equally a response to an unmaster class with Anne Boyer, a séance convened by the Roland Barthes Reading Group as part of the symposium Poetics in Commons, convened by Sarah Bernstein and Daniel Eltringham, at the University of Sheffield in May 2019. The symposium explored the potential of literature and art to produce and reinvent shared spaces, ways of living, and forms of social and ecological cooperation.

‘Ah, this book! Here, at last, I feel like I have found my people: an unlikely group of reader-writers reading and writing for very different reasons, their heads in different places, their bodies responding to quite different ideas, questions, details. All of them reading—or sometimes not reading, but sitting for a time together with, then writing with or out or away from—Roland Barthes’s notes for a session of his last lecture course. Their short pieces of responsive writing deal variously, precisely, and movingly with aging, bafflement, boredom, grieving, listening, new life, and responsibility—with the brief, sharp, and the longer, sometimes duller forms of experience. To my ear, each one strikes newly at the lecture course; together, they make the whole thing resound.’  Kate Briggs

The Roland Barthes Reading Group for this book is Emma Bolland,  Julia Calver,  Daniela Cascella, Louise Finney, Susannah Gent, Sharon Kivland, Debbie Michaels, Hestia Peppé, Rachel Smith, with our guest, Jennifer Clarke.

Presenting the paper Apostrophe Plural at CARPA 7 conference: Elastic Writing in Artistic Research 25-28 August, Performing Arts Research Centre, Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki.

The Elastic Writing conference explores extended forms of writing that critically substantiate the aesthetic and creative features and diverse knowledges involved in artistic research.

Apostrophe Plural investigates how the experimental re-distribution of apostrophes in the sentence in English disrupts the allocation of grammatical agency.
