And just because I love this portrait so much, posting again the tintype of poet Fred Moten when he came to my pop up studio in LA a few years ago with his family. #fredmoten #tintype #wetplate #popupstudio #profotousa #LA (at Kari Orvik Tintype Studio)

Congrats @imagetextithaca on this great review of 'Renee Gladman & Fred Moten: One Long Black Sentence' @bookforum !!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Albert Mobilio writes, "[The] slender gap between visual and linguistic meaning is one explored by poet, essayist, and novelist Renee Gladman. In 'Prose Architectures,' a volume published three years ago, she offered a series of ink drawings that resembled handwriting, architectural blueprints, anatomical illustration, maps, and scribbling while not quite resting within any one of those categories. Her drawings moved energetically between figurative and abstract elements, between the legible and the inscrutable. 'One Long Black Sentence' extends and deepens her investigation of that liminal zone by virtue of its overall design. The jet-black cover embossed with lustrous white fabric, black pages, almost exclusively white ink, and evocative title all denote the more-unified whole associated with an artist’s book. While Gladman continues to suggest—and dismantle—recognizable forms, the relationship between the drawings can be understood as continuous, organically developing, and aimed at sense-making, much like the grammatical unit she names in the book’s title… 'This sentence comes in the form of an open tangle,' writes Fred Moten… The paradox Moten notes—a tangle that is nonetheless open—is threaded through Gladman’s project. Not only is her sentence one that doesn’t employ language, but its blackness is found not in its inscription but in its background. Indeed, many pages are devoid of any marking. Is the 'long black sentence' the motionless container, the space around the restless, declaratively white line? The question arises from drawings that assert both presence and absence, stillness and action. Gladman’s sentence is unspeakable even as it defines the essence of speech."
