Tracey Emin, one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists, is taking over New York’s Times Square this month. Every night at 11.57pm, 15 of the square’s digital billboards will light up with Emin’s moving work “I Promise to Love You,” comprised of six written messages. The words, made of neon lights in Emin’s handwriting, slowly illuminate to spell out statements of love, with the electric pulsing building to a red when the clock strikes midnight. via The Edit

Robert Montgomery works in what he calls “a poetic and melancholic post-Situationist tradition”. Of detournement, actually, which he interprets by replacing advertisements with his own poetry. He is also known for creating a series of “recycled sunlight” pieces that combines neon lights and solar cells into poetic sculpture.

For those in Istanbul, one of his works is traveling around the city as part of the 12th Istanbul Biennial.

Chicago

Amazing pictures of Chicago from Hapsical. I would really love to see all this amazing architecture in person, especially the Frank Lloyd Wright houses!

Mémoires, Guy Debord & Asger Jorn

Détournement and "The Spectacle"

"The spectacle epitomises the prevailing model of social life. It is the omnipresent celebration of a choice already made in the sphere of production, and the consummate result of that choice. In form as in content the spectacle serves as total justification for the conditions and aims of the existing system."

--The Society of the Spectacle, Guy Debord

Any elements, no matter where they are taken from, can be used to make new combinations. The discoveries of modern poetry regarding the analogical structure of images demonstrate that when two objects are brought together, no matter how far apart their original contexts may be, a relationship is always formed. Restricting oneself to a personal arrangement of words is mere convention. The mutual interference of two worlds of feeling, or the juxtaposition of two independent expressions, supersedes the original elements and produces a synthetic organization of greater efficacy. Anything can be used.
