Living in London is, I often hear people say, like living in a small country. If you ever accidentally have the strange occurrence of driving all the way through it, you find yourself not only hating the two hour drive, but wondering how all of these different spaces, that you always shelved as tiny little polarized bubbles inside your head, are all passing in front of you, one by one. Something about this feels very cataclysmic; in a massive city, we tend to forget how all these locations are actually right next to the other. On one such occasion, driving from west to east in a car, I kept noticing the stations that I would normally emerge from, and then the transition above ground from one to the next that I would never normally witness. I had the impression that I was an ant, leaving a network of tunnels and suddenly spying the connections between many destination points above my head.
This newsletter is born out of my continuous preoccupation with the transition as well as the destination, and the network that we create as we blur boundaries. Location has been a huge influence in my interest in the arts, living between Italy, the States, and the UK.
Cities such as London are ‘little countries’ only because of the constant migration patterns, and rich diversity of culture in different individual forms. This platform puts artists and events within contemporary art that focus on the complexity of space, displacement, and cultural variance into the forefront.
Expect art reviews, recommendations, and more on a bi-weekly basis, heavily focused on these themes.
