Don DeLillo, "Zero K"

Joga um jogo, faz uma lista, desenha um cão, conta uma história, dá um passo.
Certos dias são melhores do que outros.

from New Line, "Buddy", June 2010


Robert Ellis, New Line: 
This body of work documents the space inhabited by a small alternative community in the West of Ireland. By exploring the private world created by the people that live here, this work adopts a silent and contemplative tone, and seeks to engage with this space and its inhabitants, rather than expose it. Through carefully negotiated access and many discussions, the work becomes a catalyst of my experience and the time spent making the work. Carried out over the period of a year the images reveal the harsh depths of winter and the warm fertility of summer. The images tell the stories of the people that belong here, but only ever show a glimpse of their presence.

Pacifico Silano is a photographer who enjoys long walks on the beach, staring into sunsets and collecting newspaper clippings of Courtney Love.
His work explores issues of identity, sexuality and forgotten histories.
He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York with his dog Iggy Smalls.


There is a beautiful selection of cellphone snap shots spanning the course of a year at his site, some of them picturing dogs:

Pitchfork: You worked on The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic alongside Antony, who you've been friends with for decades. How would you describe that relationship?

William Basinski: I'm very loyal to my friends, and I continue to maintain relationships with most of them. Antony is very special to me. He's someone who never stops until he gets exactly what he wants. Sometimes it can drive you absolutely mad, but it's extraordinary. You know what's interesting? This year, I found out that Antony, Marina, and I are all Year of the Dog in the Chinese zodiac. We're all different dogs, though-- I'm an earth dog, Antony's a metal dog or something like that. Dogs run in packs.
