strung up

to swim is to submerge time

to swim is to submerge time
the slow shift
of the body
from land to water

in bed, dancing
on tides of sleep

light on people

jars

slight

at the beach
the last light paints everything gold
everyone becomes
mystical
in their running clothes

chess

my little brother is teaching me how to play chess. we don't have a chess board so we are using a checkers board instead, he has cut out thirty two little slips of paper and on each piece of paper he has written the name of a chess piece. it doesn't work very well. a sigh of frustration sends the chess pieces fluttering.

Roman Mitch - Artspace's most recent curatorial intern is a bit of a chess expert. In correlation with the exhibition 'caraway downs' he has written a small book on chess & art.

'I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialised. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.'

-Marcel Duchamp
