Why write? Is writing making?

What is telling? What is showing?

What are clichés in writing, and how do I subvert them?

Are artists' writings taken seriously?

How do I know when to stop writing?

How do I start writing?


Making the Written Word will investigate and encourage the use of writing as a relevant outlet of expression at all stages of artists’ and designers’ studio practice. Each of the four sessions will aim to answer specific questions through readings, writing exercises, and discussion. This blog is a forum for the discussion generated and a place to leave references for each other.

We Feel Fine, by Jonathan Harris

Hi everyone, this is the "We Feel Fine" work that I had mentioned this week. It works by compiling any kind of statements with the word "feel" from posts on the internet. I think the way it is displayed creates a really strong atmosphere of pulling real people out of thin air and kind of connecting with them. It turns out quite poetic because it centers around one word that shapes the sentence.
