[Portrait] [Calligraphie] [Painting] Fabienne Verdier : Vortex (english subtitle)
In her tranquil studio, the French artist’s new 'Vortex' paintings give form to the human voice.
As the first ever artist-in-residence at the renowned Juilliard School in New York, Fabienne Verdier studied the vocal practice and breathing technique of the singers and musicians in training. The resulting series, ‘Vortex’, comprises large scale paintings, each one a unique response to the way a soprano sings a specific operatic aria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The paintings’ swirling, vortex-like strokes are made with the use of massive horsehair brushes which Verdier operates from a specially built mobile platform above the canvas. Manifestations of Verdier’s desire to go beyond a ‘static, unmoving’ form of representation, they offer points of connection with the ‘true nature of reality’: ‘spontaneity, movement, change’, as she reflects in this video.
Filmed at the French artist’s studio complex in the remote countryside of the Val-d’Oise while working on the ‘Vortex’ series this summer, the video sees the artist in her studio, the library (where long periods of research and contemplation precede the beginning of new works) and surrounded by nature: whose ‘active silence’, Verdier says, ‘brings these paintings to life.’
‘Fabienne Verdier: Vortex’ is on view at Waddington Custot, London from 6 October to 17 November.

En blanc sur fond noir, dans la police Adelphe :
Judaïsme & Protestantisme & Catholicisme & Islam
> L’Adelphe est un caractère de labeur dont l’enjeu principal est de proposer plusieurs manières de pratiquer l’écriture inclusive sur du texte long, en petit corps, et sans altération du gris typographique. Son nom, qui signifie à la fois frère et sœur de manière non-genrée, est très utilisé au sein des communautés militantes queers. Mais c’est aussi un mot qui trouve son étymologie dans le grec ancien, à la manière des mots savants. Et il y a une volonté avec ce caractère d’aller sur ce terrain, sur le terrain de la culture qui s’auto-définit comme « haute » et savante. Et, ainsi, de ne pas se laisser confisquer l’histoire de la langue et de l’écriture par le camp conservateur. C’est pourquoi l’Adelphe, dans son dessin, présente des proportions classiques, héritées de la Renaissance, et un tracé proche de la calligraphie, avec une fluidité dans le ductus qui permet de produire des formes harmonieuses, y compris dans le dessin des signes inclusifs.

- www.bulwer-lytton.com 2024 Winners | The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
A whimsical literary competition for the worst possible opening sentences to novels never written.
The rules for the Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest are childishly simple:
Each entry must consist of a single sentence.
Sentences may be of any length but we strongly recommend that entries not go beyond 50 or 60 words.
Entries must be “original” (as it were) and previously unpublished.
Due to the volume of submissions, if your entry is more than one sentence or is missing a name or location it won't be considered.
Our contest year runs from one summer to the next. All entries submitted by June 30th are eligible for the winners announced that August.
We post the winners in mid August, give or take a natural disaster or mild inconvenience. To receive an announcement email, sign up for our mailing list down there in the footer.
In keeping with the gravitas, high seriousness, and general bignitude of the contest, the grand prize winner will receive … a cheap certificate (and bragging rights).

From https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2024/08/paper-sculptures-patrick-cabral/
> Elaborate paper sculptures continue to emerge from Patrick Cabral’s Manila studio, including a roiling cockfight that took more than a year to complete. Stretching six feet wide, the monumental work highlights Cabral’s exquisitely cut motifs, which add texture and depth to the otherwise smooth medium. Layers of lace-like patterns, stripes, and other frills adorn the birds shown pre-fight with wings splayed and claws bared.
