POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

wrecked tangles
August 1, 2026 • The Colonial Theater • Bethlehem, NH at the DI:Rectangle Symposium

( ecstatically ekphrasticky to have *shaped* this screening of really excellent works by @scott_wolniak #hopetucker @breanne_ @paigetaul @_secretflix @willvkworld @lillicarre in the fold with @directanglepress @designinquiry &c &c )

[FLICKER WARNING]

Take it apart and put it back together. Pull it apart and tape its back, to gather. Tape its part aback and gate tethers: postfix suffused flix & fricative fictions. Order and disorder and rigidity and softness and corners and the spaces outside the lines and the protective margins and the centrality of edges and the way a constellation depends more on where you are than what you’re looking at and how the frame says this part is the (art) and this part is the (world) and how a gas will expand to fill whatever space it’s given and how I make a better door than a window and how you can see where a room will be in another room and whatever balloons are and how the welcome mat at your house can spin however you’d like and how we think so much of the edges of the images but then tape it in parts aback and gate tethers: suffixes posted like misdirection and the edges of the fixative frictions.

in doing my very small part for this weekend’s festivities to celebrate & instantiate 999 episodes of @badatsports & the end of season 1, i remembered that this photo existed (maybe you are in it), from open engagement in portland in 2012 and the first time i ever appeared on mic, offering an anecdote about ammachi, if i recall. come to @marzbrewing tonight for a night of kibbutzing and reuniting ~ 7 pm we interview @s_r_stratton about @tete_a_tete_a_tete ~ 8 pm she interviews us about @badatsports (we/us here refers to a true gaggle of gabbers ~ maybe even you?). then the @mcachicago on saturday. wow. come through for an untoasted albanian mulberry gosê and a cool fun time. can you believe this project itself is now old enough to drink? taken in The Cheerful Tortoise by @marmblatt
