Unwavering Sensitivity and Valuing Confusion (ANNA CLEGG)

Guest artist ANNA CLEGG joins curator and critic VANESSA MURRELL to discuss her multi-disciplinary art practice via 'My Loose Thread' by Denis Cooper. Published in 2002 by Canongate Books, this claustrophobic novel circulates around teenage Larry who is wrestling with the point of his own existence and explores teen depression, moral vacuity and the confusion of love.   Please be warned that in following the content of Cooper's text, the programme contains references to violence and suicide.   Anna and Vanessa's discussion also encompasses psychedelics, obsession, faux Nazis, feeling violated, animal stickers, unwavering sensitivity, stupid imagery, internal rhyming, Santa Claus, swimming through mud, looping back on oneself, eyes being gummed shut, the value of confusion, dark and disturbing worlds, begrudging awareness of the reader, not being able to fathom the logic of decision making, writing through an idea rather than creating a story, and the steampunk weaponisation of ice skates.   Please! *rate and review *support production through patreon.com/ARTFICTIONSPODCAST *follow us on instagram @artfictionspodcast *contact us on [email protected]   Recorded at Cubitt Community Radio by Andi Armishah Music GRIFFIN KNIPE Production consultant LORI E ALAN Logo JOANNA QUINN of BERYL PRODUCTIONS   ANNA CLEGG relevant-confluences.com 'Half Truths' curated by Vanessa Murrell til 30 November 2023 at Unit 2 Cassia Building 97-101 Hackney Road Shoreditch London E2 8ET   ARTISTS David Musgrave 'Lambda' 2022 James Turrell John Baldassari 'Wrong' 1967 Joseph Cornell   BOOKS + MAGAZINES + WRITERS Artforum magazine Barry Pierce 'Another Magazine' Beatrice Forster Brett Eastern Ellis Denis Cooper 'The George Miles Cycle' series 1989-2000 Denis Cooper 'I Wished' 2021 Elliot Jeffries Frieze magazine George Bataille 'Story of the Eye' 1928 Hervé Guibert 'Ghost Image' 2014 Interview magazine Kathy Acker Katja Kemnitz 'Too Much Love' on Tumblr Nour El Saleh Paul Auster Roland Barthes 'An Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narrative', 1975 Spin magazine Tao Lin 'Leave Society' 2021 Tom of Finland Victory Burgin 'Remembered Film' 2004 Vivian Sobchack William Burroughs   MUSICIANS + FILM Brooke Shields Claire Denis, director and screenwriter Larry Clark 'Bully' 2001 NLE Chopper Terence Stamp Xaviersobased   GALLERIES + ORGS Chelsea School of Art Greengrassi Nicoletti Contemporary Split Gallery
