We're beginning to get the events established! Send a note to ask for how to create an event in your town...

*You do not need the project to tour its way to you. You and your location are the project.*

“In sprawling and decisive microseconds, Art Kane exposed moments of profundity and affixed them to sheets of eternity.”

Quite a night for the beginning of the campaign to relaunch Table of the Elements… I only managed to snap a couple of photos. Everyone loved seeing the Tony Conrad movie and a wonderful Q&A with Emily Bick from The Wire magazine… much fun!

Yes, this is what we're doing! Tony has only screened three times during the nearly nine years since we premiered at the Tate... and this event has a most significant purpose!

Tony Blair’s ideas for net zero are expensive and unpopular The former PM’s clumsy climate intervention exposes the new political contest over the environment

Thanks @prospectmagazine.co.uk @aloner.bsky.social who let me write about Tony Blair's recent tribute act to the TB-GBs of New Labour, with some more serious consideration of where his NZ antipathy comes and the new politics if climate

An old man walking his cow through the Nottinghamshire countryside on rope during the early 1980s.

An old man walking his cow through the Nottinghamshire countryside on rope during the early 1980s.

While researching my novel 1983, which is based on the Nottinghamshire mining village where I grew up, I had a weird memory of a man who used to take his cow for a walk around the village, like it was a dog.

"Have I made that up?" I wondered.

So I checked my mum and dad's old photos.

I hadn't.

Isn’t there a great film to be made about Dory? Or better still… a musical? I love this record.

Colm Tóibín · I haven’t been I: The Real Fernando Pessoa The Book of Disquiet is almost about philosophy; its tone is often casual and then deliberate. Pessoa loves aphorism,...

Fernando Pessoa’s writing blows my mind… this is a fascinating essay too

The film you reference here is called, Don’t be a Sucker, and was released in 1947 as a clear warning about fascism and how it begins to take hold of society. No animation in it though…

Exactly. Our shared ownership over this mass of wonderful work now has given it new value and new purpose. We’re very lucky…

My teenage son has become the relationship to the collection that was most needed by finding a deep enjoyment out of selling off the unloved, not listened to… to buy new and fresh. It’s a new experience for me and I’ve relaxed in to it…

Hear, hear.
His books are a staple… if he’d only written Minor Histories it’d warrant a primary place in the pantheon… and with Foul Perfection he excelled, I think. His performances in Tony’s jail movie were astounding. What a geezer… so sad he couldn’t bear to become a really old one.
