🔲 🔳 ⬛◾🔲

🌳

How do observation, openness and chance find their way into minimal abstraction?

Using Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt's infamous 'Oblique Strategies' to think our way through the discreet poetry of Sylvia Plimack Mangold...


00:00 Introduction: the tape is now the music
01:58 Go Slowly all the way round the outside
05:09 Knives & forks 🍴
08:11 Make a blank valuable by putting it in an exquisite frame
17:03 Don't stress one thing more than another
26:45 Go outside. Shut the door.
34:08 From Nothing to more than nothing
