THE DARK WOULD

By Rachel Lois

Stephen P Perry and I are pleased to let you know that our contribution to the forthcoming language art anthology THE DARK WOULD will be launched at the Southbank Centre in London on 6 Feb 2013, 8-9.30pm and the Whitechapel Gallery 11 April, 7-9pm.

Our one page piece for the anthology is entitled 'Q & A', and is a biography taken from a larger unpublished work entitled HOLD IT, developed by Stephen P Perry and I from a 2012 performance at The Other Room. The piece plays with the limitations of printed biography and occupies the particular space between questions and answers, questions and questions, and answers and answers (infinitum).


THE DARK WOULD is a pioneering anthology of text artists and poets, edited by Philip Davenport, which includes work by over 100 contributors including Richard Long, Fiona Banner, Maggie O' Sullivan, Tacita Dean, Ron Silliman, Shin Tanabe, Marton Koppany, Tsang Kin-Wah, Charles Bernstein, Susan Hiller, Tony Lopez, Caroline Bergvall, Sarah Sanders, Kay Rosen, Robert Grenier and many, many more.

THE DARK WOULD comes in two volumes, one paper and one virtual, sold both together for £29.99, published by Apple Pie Editions. 

Stephen and I hope you enjoy this amazing book.

HOLD (IT)

By Rachel Lois


Fold out extract HOLD (IT) 2012 c. the artists


HOLD (IT), a score from Fourscore Selected Gestures at The Other Room, is forthcoming in 2013. 

HOLD (IT) captures something of the pace, directionality and physical gestures of Rachel Lois Clapham’s original performance reading, whilst perforations, instructions and BLANKS posit new possibilities for shuffling, reading out loud and fingering. The publication is indebted to other live readings such as FINGER, Re- and 0456461 to 0456464.


HOLD (IT) is designed by stephenpperry and features a postlude by David Berridge.



Rachel Lois Clapham produces writing on and as performance as part of UK collaboration Open Dialogues and curates radical writing with the Arts Council partnership In a word…. Her own practice points..., punctuates movement and presses on physical gestures as text. Work includes Re- (PSL Gallery, Norwich Arts Centre and John Latham Archive), WORK TRY HARD (Kaleid Editions), (W)reading Performance Writing : A Guide (Live Art Development Agency) and WRITING the SPACE (Wild Pansy Press).  opendialogues.com @rachellois1
