  2. Red Mannheim, St Paul’s Cathedral

    June 17, 2010
    by Ben Perdue

    These amazing silkscreens were unveiled in St Paul’s Cathedral last night as part of the ongoing St Paul’s Cathedral Art Project. The Mannheim Altarpiece by Mark Alexander hangs in two huge (almost) identical parts, facing eachother across the nave. That they can have such an impact in a setting as overwhelming as the cavernous St Pauls is almost as impressive as this old institution being so actively involved in championing contemporary art. Supported by Haunch of Venison.


  3. roc, charbon, fer

    (Felix Valotton—Sur la plage)


    Si j’ai du goût, ce n’est guère
    Que pour la terre et les pierres.
    Je déjeune toujours d’air,
    De roc, de charbons, de fer

    Mes faims, tournez.
    Paissez, faims,
    Le pré des sons.
    Attirez le gai venin
    Des liserons.

    Mangez les cailloux qu’on brise,
    Les vieilles pierres d’églises;
    Les galets des vieux déluges,
    Pains semés dans les vallées grises.

    Le loup criait sous les feuilles
    En crachant les belles plumes
    De son repas de volailles:
    Comme lui je me consume.

    Les salades, les fruits
    N’attendent que la cueillette;
    Mais l’araignée de la haie
    Ne mange que des violettes.

    Que je dorme! que je bouille
    Aux autels de Salomon.
    Le bouillon court sur la rouille,
    Et se mêle au Cédron.

    (Arthur Rimbaud—Faim)
