From art to text to text to art JKD and the Regional 17





Currently, I am in residence as part of the Regional 17 art show with both the Kunsthalle-Mulhouse centre d’art contemporaine and Kunsthaus Baselland in Basel, Switzerland (from the 24 November 2016 - 8 January 2017).  During this time I will be posting texts on a blog about the ENCODING THE URBAN title and topic, on the artwork and texts based on interviews with the artists and curators. I also have an archi-textual installation on the Buffet de la Gare SBB in Basel, Switzerland.

Interested? Check out my Regional 17 linked blog with photos of the installation and texts from the project https://2016urbanbuffet.blogspot.fr/

Politics and Creation in the space between languages

I was very honored when French poet and critic Emmanuèle Jawad asked me whether I would like to be part of a cycle of 10 interviews on the theme of creation and politics. These interviews of women poets began to appear mid-summer and are scheduled to conclude this December. Last week, my interview appeared in which I dicuss themes of multilingual writing as applied to my work but also my reading habits and perhaps even formal influences, issues of form and translation to creation and to political issues in the writing, and in the end I touched on the topics which I think have been far more thoroughly and richly explored by authors I read and admire. Here is a link to that interview, in French:

And the link to the overall page for the Création et Politique series of 10 interviews, where you can read Emmanuèle's reasoning for doing these interviews.
