Images from Arsenal v Liverpool, The Emirates, London - Sunday 17 April 2011. From the top: outside the ground ('Victory Through Harmony'); a minute's silence; Van Persie free-kick; Suarez free-kick; Kuyt's penalty in the 12th minute of extra time (102 mins) - the last kick of the game, leveling the score at 1-1, and effectively bringing to an end Arsene Wenger's team's possibility of winning the title this year; Liverpool celebrations with their fans; Meireles (with serious tatts), Kuyt & Reina leaving the pitch; Emirates sky (actually this is from the end of the desultory Arsenal match against Blackburn two weeks ago, but it fits the mood).
A collection of texts and images about contemporary art, performance, film, writing, music, people, politics, places, animals, collaborations, encounters, walking, the weather, the sea, Sicily etc. Traces of recurrent fascinations and obsessions, as well as occasional detours and dead ends. A partial register of the present's unfolding, of some of the shapes it has taken in the past and perhaps it could take in the future ...
'There was a whole collection made. A damp cloth, an oyster, a single mirror, a manikin, a student, a silent star, a single spark, a little movement and the bed is made. This shows the disorder, it does, it shows more likeness than anything else, it shows the single mind that directs an apple' (Gertrude Stein, 'Tender Buttons')
