Dark Time
“And then those questions come up.
Like was the Constitution written in invisible ink?
Has everybody here forgotten how to think?
Is this big boat starting to think?
…
And you thought there were things that had disappeared forever.
Things from the Middle Ages.
Beheadings and hangings and people in cages.
And suddenly they were everywhere
And suddenly they’re alright”
(Laurie Anderson: Dark Time in the Revolution)
Max Hattler: Your Highness
“I don’t want to be negative, but I always find the whole thing rather strange. Soccer is one thing, but the World Cup is something else because it takes on even more of a mass dynamic. During the World Cup period in 2006, when Germany was the host country, I returned to Germany from England and was stunned to see everyone waving their German flags and all the newspapers reporting how great it was that Germans could now finally show their national pride again. This time around, it has become even worse – police cars sporting German flags, etc. I find it rather unpleasant.”

Angela de la Cruz: After, Camden Arts Centre.
“[The chair] was actually flattened by being sat on by a great woman, when I was in one of the hospitals I stayed in for a long time. It became completely useless and irreparable – bin material. I suffered a very serious stroke in 2005, from which I am still recovering, and seeing that was probably the first time that I had laughed since it happened”.

(Split Britches: The Lost Lounge, Queen Mary University, marts 2010)
“I walked down the Bowery and turned right on Bond Street the other day, and for a minute I thought, Oh my God, I don’t know where I am! I just didn’t recognize it. And so one of the themes that we’re working on is how memory is tied up with landscape, and what happens when you lose your landscape—how identity is tied into place and how it feels like we’re losing part of our identity by losing those places.”
