ISSUE 1

 

‘‘The longing for dirt: does it go back to a time or evoke a feeling of sheer pleasure that has nothing to do with meaning or process ... getting your hands dirty or like a good shit. It’s also a beginning, a state of flux, a formlessness pre-form, pre-anxiety. And a reaction against the clean, the hard, mechanical edge; but it doesn’t preclude a transformation into that latter state. My favourite stuff, although it’s not dirt, is sand; either as the tide has gone out leaving it packed hard, silvery, and ridged, or sand as the tide comes in and it is undergoing a transformation, a total collapse. Very, very sexy.’’

Dear Eva,

It will be almost a month since you wrote to me and you have possibly forgotten your state of mind (I doubt it though). You seem the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. Don’t! Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world once in a while. You have every right to. Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder, wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping, confusing, itching, scratching, mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, numbling, rambling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking, ass-gouging, eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing, back-scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself. Stop it and just DO.

Sol LeWitt’s letter to Eva Hesse (1965)
