Bitterswiet: A Tiny Mulder Inquiry in Word and Voice
'Bitterswiet: A Tiny Mulder Inquiry in Word and Voice'
by Liza Prins
Bitterswiet is an anthology of essays, poems, and other materials that investigate (the Frisian) language as a tool for resistance. It journeys through the work and life of Frisian poet Tiny Mulder, Anne Carson's theoretical work, and the history and phonetics of the Frisian language. In doing so, it explores the affective qualities of spoken language in general, and of Frisian in particular, to discover how we may build a borderless, love-filled assertion of an other world. The book is written in English and Frisian, holds contributions by Eduard Knotter and Alina Lupu, is published by n.k.g. publications, and is designed by Toni Brell.

Practising Structures: India
–Sachi Miyachi
'Practising Structures: India'
Sachi Miyachi
"This book is the result of my first visit to Kolkata, India, from January to February 2020. [...]
Drawing became a daily practise for me in Kolkata. I bought a bunch of drawing paper and coloured pencils at an art supply shop. I kept the paper vertical and drew a basic framing line on every sheet as a way of beginning. [...] ‘Have you ever thought of being a barber who works in the open air under a huge bodhi-tree?’ ‘Have you ever thought about using bamboo sticks to climb up high walls?’ ‘Have you ever coloured an elephant green?’ I was drawing a roof so as to build it on the paper, so as to simulate seeing it above my head. I was drawing
a landscape so as to walk along the little path with my imagination. Drawing could be a series of imaginary attempts to simulate certain perceptible experiences. In this way, suitable for my introverted nature, I found a daily exercise for diving into an everchanging structure." (Sachi Miyachi, excerpt from introduction)

Stretchy Containers
–Nina Glockner, Natasha Rosling, Sachi Miyachi
'Stretchy Containers –
Artists on Chewing, Feeding and Letting Go'
is based on the project 'It Happens Anyway' in Summer 2019 at W139 Amsterdam, which looked to ‘cultivate the conditions for our own artistic maintenance as a shared public act in consideration of the bodily existence and life, the things we can and can’t control, within a web of human and non-human interactions’.
This publication has become an artist-made toolkit –including recipes, conversations, movement instructions– that acts not only as documentation but rather as a reinterpretation of space, events and processes into another kind of activating score.

Scores & Structures
–Andrea Canepa, Nina Glockner, Dasha Tsapenko
This publication (edition of 5) is both a working tool and printed outcome of the ongoing collaborative research project 'Scores & Structures–From Mind to Map to Muscle' by artist Andrea Canepa, architect/artist Dasha Tsapenko and myself.
The project was initiated during our shared working period at Jan van Eyck Academie Maastricht (2018-2019) and deals with the exploration of scores and their embodiment. By looking at methodologies and material from architecture and urbanism as well as performance, somatic (body) practices and visual arts we research scores as design gestures that affect our actions, behaviours, and conceptual frameworks.
The publication corresponds to the growing online collection of scores see here.

In ‘Voice related, passing now’ fragments of collective memories are revealed by focussing on the relationship between ‘the acting/the instructed’ human being and (daily) objects in the course of time. By developing and executing a certain score of actions which involves specific objects, I construct a home-like / sacred area, inscribe the borders of a territory and share it with a public who is ̶ partly ̶ forced to be involved.
