CAMILLA HOWALT ART

The first chapter of my book WE ARE TIME is about a trip to New York. After the lengthy flight home, the narrator doesn’t sleep for three days, and experiences a kind of collapse concerning language, time, identity and memory. FOR THE LISTENER: Although I am reading from my own book and commenting on it and it is for sale in Danish at bookstores and in English as a PDF from my website, this podcast is an intellectual exercise rather than a sales exercise.

In this episode I begin talking about the colour red, which is a thene I would like to return to in the month of smSeptember, and what it means to me, how an inner image from 30 tears ago is driving me in my work today.

Today I take a little stroll through the various projects I am tending to in July - it happened accidentally in Danish -

When I work with text in either Danish or English, the translation between the two languages enables a working with the text I am otherwise not able to. Hear why in this week’s podcast.

I link the dot, the line and the curve with that of metaphor, from last weeks Spoken Word to this week’s, to show how one signifier evolves to take the place of another.

This episode speaks about the line, deriving from a dot, and continuing into a potential eternal conundrum. We stay closer to now, and the lines we can draw, to understand the architecture of one’s body.

In this episode I speak about the importance of specific materials, and the frustration when an important material is no longer available on the market.

On working with text, sound or a visual piece of art, I start out with a blueprint of the space I perceive inside. This week I talk a little about the criteria for writing WE ARE TIME, after which I will read a bit from the book, recently translated into English #CamillaHowalt #CamillaHowaltArt

In this weekly episode I talk (shortly) about the format - which should always be a subject in process - of my weekly Art Letter and how to keep it vibrant, inspiring and dynamic. Not only for the listener, but also for me. Enjoy!
