Hyperallergic wrote about Sutil’s exhibition at the Nohra Haime Gallery in New York: “Sutil’s works become a material manifestation of a meditation on time, an uncoded pulsating message delivered to the viewer.”
I wish I could see her work in the flesh.

My favourite, every single day.
A collection of critical writing (essays, interviews, reviews, et cetera) that combines fiction, art criticism and poetry leaving you with an ecclectic, sometimes confusing but very inspiring book. It includes an interview with the great Cosey Fanni Tutti.
American fast food chain Wendy’s put out a five track mixtape and it’s not even the worst thing I’ve ever heard (but not great either). Hyperallergic wrote about it very seriously: “The humor of integrating incongruous external elements into rap stems from a condescending attitude towards rap; it’s only funny if you already view rap as somehow ridiculous. Listen closely when Queen Wendy raps — you can almost hear the marketing team giggling in the back room.”
Listen on YouTube: ‘We Beefin?’
On of my favorite newscycles of April came from France where, in a village in the Dordogne on April 2nd, a 93-year old woman died in her garden moments after a goat had entered. The goat was put under investigation and multiple newssites covered the story, albeit briefly.
Two days later, on April 4th, it was announced that the woman had died of natural causes, and the goat had nothing to do with it. It was a good day for goats.
I love cooking and I’m fairly good at it, so sometimes I fantasize about ‘leaving it all behind’ and going to work in a kitchen as a line cook. But then I read an article like this one and immediately change my mind.
“I traveled to Selma, Alabama, because I had to, because no other walk on Earth made sense to me, or my rage, at a time when walking was the only activity for which my despair made a small hollow.”
Great article by American writer Rahawa Haile, whose article ‘Going it alone’ (which I enjoyed a lot when reading it in 2017) is being turned into a book.
