never say no
never not turn up
never not cry
never say never
never ever say everything
An exhibition of writing by Francesca Rendle-Short, part of The Five Obstructions, a group show at the Margaret Lawrence Gallery at Victoria College of the Arts 16 June to 11 July 2011.
The Five Obstructions was curated by Martina Copley. From the catalogue:
Steal an idea.
Here is what I can say —
I’ve
never had my own catalogue
never said never
never ever not turned up
never said I never say no
never ever never never
(then)
How’s this?
never say no
never not turn up
never not cry
never say never
never ever say everything
Let me know if it needs further revising.
Best
Francesca
‘Francesca Rendle-Short loves to work with words, across art forms and media. She is very interested in the way an arts practice and the process of making imaginative work can inform the direction writing and research can take. She is also interested in writing from the body, how a writer’s body operates and survives as the language of the process. In this work she wants to step into the work, become the work with her writing body—muscle, ink, rain. She has never actually writtenonwalls quite like this before.’
