The sweet table by Rain Wu: rows of individual mirror dishes, each with a single white chocolate almond, a dab of beetroot paste & a toothpick for drawing patterns on the almond. At the far end of the table, an almond polenta cake shaped like a valley in East Taiwan.

Communal pickle barrels.

The Valley of the Na from Always Coming Home, with mountains of polenta topped by Parmesan crisps (an essential in Italo-Taiwanese menus), a river of roasted corn nibs, and spiral village heyiya-ifs of romesco, with heyimas mounds of veggie garlic polenta topped with a single pink peppercorn.

A book table with copies of Silver Press and Spiral House's Le Guin titles: The Word for World; Space Crone; Steering the Craft; and So Far, So Good. Plus Architectural Association tote bags.

Happy publication day to BAD LANGUAGE and its belief in an oneiric queer liberation philology! 💫

Words hold worlds, and hence hold sway over our interactions with our surroundings. For Le Guin [...] we are bound up in knotty entanglements with each other, always being woven into the ecologies that surround us. We are always more than human.

Out today: MEMORY by Dorothea Lasky.

What constitutes personhood and consciousness? What memories get lost, and why? MEMORY traverses three dimensions of memory – ancestral, personal and poetic – reflecting on art, collective reminiscence, and forgetting.

Thank you so much for sharing. Her son told us that 'she really enjoyed the correspondence' and had your 'map over her desk for a time'

Take a Trip Through Ursula K. Le Guin’s Conjured Worlds The fantasy and science fiction writer found her way into her invented worlds by making maps and then mentally exploring them.

'Yes, Le Guin was a map maker. That’s how she found her way into her invented worlds. After she made her maps, she proceeded to settle on them and mentally walk around inside them. If we home in on the exhibition’s maps themselves we can begin to unlock her secrets'
