Gaza now the rest of us next…week 2
@matthew.collings_
Materials….@matthew.collings_
I use coloured pencils and small bits of paper but I think of what I do as paintings. Pencils allow me by some kind of superstitious childish primitive pseudo rule to paint. As it happens I do also paint with real paints but I feel the drawings are the furnace. All power comes from them. I use a children’s oily crayon called Woody Stabilo as well as the basic pencils – which are usually Faber Castell.
I think of something and draw it any old how. And then I keep going utterly abstractly until there’s a visual powerful logic. I ask Emma Biggs if something’s working and if she says no I keep changing it and I often have to rely entirely on her to pull something through. Sometimes I don’t even think of anything, I just draw an eye and it could be male or female.
I sometimes use my phone and look at photos and I sometimes don’t. I never look at It for Philip Guston.
I really do feel he looked like I have been drawing him for five years now. He’s become my invention.
The materials and my manipulations of them are everything.
I happened by luck to have always had an audience for these drawings and I was able to open the door to a flood of endless content because of the response of that audience. What it liked I did again. And again and again. On the other hand now I think about it, it liked everything, so I don’t know if it really meant anything at all to have it. But I know they’re all out there and I’m grateful to them. They’re my materials too like my memories are materials and my nervous system is a material. ‘
1. I heard Mark Gardiner CEO of the community security trust, which is supposed to protect everyone from antisemitism , on R4 news lying outrageously about the pro-Palestinian demos-saying totally crazy stuff about the illegitimacy of Jewish protest against Israel.
2.How art goes wrong. J J Charlesworth art world luminary in a desert of values having another pint of nuance, somehow always concludes Israel should not be criticised.
3.The usual tropes for de-legitimising criticism of psychotic sadists murdering everyone.
4.Stop Art-World Zionists
Mike Bloomberg, art washing Israel supporting billionaire, former Mayor of New York, chucking tens of millions around in the UK art-world-& JJ Charlesworth, art intellectual who sneers at the left for criticising Israel-both bathe in ideology at the bloody Frieze art fair.
5. Lisa Nandy lies
6.Support Bob Vylan, he is an informed & truthful chanter.
Many thanks to Matthew for the work and the text.
Available to see @window135 until 02.12.25
Gaza now-the rest of us next…
‘Gaza now-the rest of us next’
1. BBC horror men- Tim Davie & Raffi Berg, obscene servers of genocide, resigned boss, & unresigned boss of Middle East news.
2.Zionist billionaires on museum boards in the UK is just wrong-stop genocide supporting art-washers.
3.They bought a $7m painting by Philip Guston, called ’remorse’ a work clearly about injustice…
Idan & Batia Ofer, Zionist billionaires, they sit on the board at the RA, & fund the contemporary art exhibitions there-stop Zionist art-washing!!
4.WTF?!!
5. The IDF spent months lining up starving Palestinians, to get them to queue for food & then shooting them for fun.
6. Philip Guston reels in horror at the spectacle of Ben Gvir towering over bound, tortured, prostrate, face-down Palestinian prisoners, saying they must be executed.
7. Gaza now-everyone else next
8. IDF Bob Vylan’s chant is both reasonable & humane.
Many thanks to Matthew for the work.
There will be a 2nd iteration of ‘Gaza now-everyone else next’
The genocide in Gaza and the West Bank continues…

Since June we have been working on a vinyl release, piano + poetry recorded here in 2013/14.

The black box edition-of which there are 11 made contains the record ’rust taste burnt mouth’; the music transcription of 4 tracks by Tim Jones @window135 made by Andrew Zhou @melodyforanewday and the poetry by Gerry Mitchell.
The album has been mastered by Ian Button @papernut_c

‘any person any study…’ Maya King-Dabbs
…a reimagination of 20th century New York window dressing, a menswear shop perhaps as described by Teruyoshi Hayashida.
‘Take Ivy’ had a huge influence on an aspect of Japanese fashion in the 1980’s; an examination of class and ‘style’ in ivy league colleges…’the preppy look’.
In this theatrical hallucination of a shopfront, the cut outs available are of suits, hats, timepieces…for anyone to become someone.
Many thanks to Maya for the work and to
Aram Masharqa @helched for his words and time
