Thanks Sabrina for finding this old map in the Talbot library at St Walburges, had no idea that archive existed.

I’ve recently been exploring the old site of the canal - a large section of it (everything to the right of ‘north end’ on the map) was filled in in the 50s and not much evidence remains.

research 16/05/12

my work at the moment concerns the rituals/routes of the commute & the increasing ‘efficiency’ of communication and work (under capitalism) so these are some nice topical finds this morning:

The Story of Send - your email’s journey. (fact #1 your email wakes up vampires)

Little Clay Men - in Manchester today for Future Everything. I like the idea of interrogating the ‘commute’ (well, that’s what i’m doing too) some great choice of sites for these. I prefer Gormley’s similar terracotta army (1994) which are full of character - that’s not to say i wouldnt pick one of these up if i were in manc today, though..

Two Stage Transfer Drawing - Dennis Oppenheim (1971)

“As I run a marker along Eric’s s back he attempts to duplicate the movement on the wall.
My activity stimulates a kinetic response from his sensory system. I am, therefore, Drawing Through Him”

Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke

From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.
