The Bruces are going on the road, out of the echo-chamber of New York, to take on America. It’s been hard for me to take a definitive stance on the Bruce High Quality Foundation (or the Bruces, as they are called) and their university (BHQFU). They talk a big, erudite game of alternatives to the [...]

Letter from London: Trip Advisor
All travel is retrospective. We don’t travel for the experience – most traveling time is spent waiting, after all – but in order to have something to remember. The easy editing abilities of digital photography have transformed utterly the modern idea of travel. It’s all peaks, no troughs: the past perfect. Journeys only really exist [...]

Weekly Update – Gold Mountain Redux
With an American flag at its heart and a jaunty colored brick road on the floor, Abigail DeVille’s Gold Mountain should be upbeat.

Alphabet Street
Been a while since the last post. Partly because I’ve been taking a bit of time out and partly because there’s been nothing going on. Well, except for Eine painting an entire new alphabet in just one street! Lower case all the way, it turns a road off …
