Just around the corner from where I live is a glass-fronted building which has two inter-leafed and over-sized molded books sticking out from the window. On a street otherwise made up of Victorian terraced houses and ramshackle auto workshops, it looks quite the part. Above the front door is a sign saying FLAT TIME HO. [...]

Large cat, originally uploaded by meltingman. The new turbine hall installation by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster is good. As soon as you push through the plastic curtains and find yourself looking at banks of bunk beds, it feels like a sort of mass evacuation isolation ward. There are raised wall-mounted industrial lights and a constant dripping. Like [...]

Sometimes spam is randomly beautiful… From: Niki Doubledee Subject: Few of us ever met Chris McKinstry in person. You cannot stop services in a clustered environment. Work basket I could buy Molly’s birthday. Here’s the method I use. Wonder how it first struck him. Harry, whose insides were aching with hunger, jumped off his bed [...]

‘Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait’, by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno  over on cityofsound is a  great review of self-same film/portrait.  It’s as poetic and well-considered as the film is enthralling.
