NOTHING IN THE NEWS: Newspapers from around the world with nothing in them.

We live in a world of constant sensory overload. 24 hours a day we are bombarded with information in real time by every media outlet and platform competing for our attention, one pop-up notification at a time.

And we play ball. We invest hours on end staring at our mobile devices. We want to know what’s going on, the why and the how. We need to know. But in our perpetual quest to fill every spare minute of our time searching for something meaningful, we learn nothing. We are so busy filling every waking moment with things to watch and do, and learn and listen to, that we have forgotten what it is like to just be. To sit around and think. To switch off and be bored. To daydream.

This project offers a little respite to all this information overload.

Yes, we live in particularly sensitive times. Times where the truth really matters, and where newspapers have a more important role to play in modern democracies than ever before. But for a society addicted to breaking news, gossip, and celebrity status, to Facestagram and Twapchat, the latest trends, and the top tens, to sports punditry, conspiracy theories, cat videos, and ridiculous amounts of porn … for this cultural precipice, we offer the one thing you need more than anything else: “Nothing”. Absolutely nothing. Today, and today only, there is Nothing in the News. Enjoy it whilst you can.

ISBN 2-914291-10-8

A força desse livro de artista vem de algo muito clássico, ou seja, o conteúdo das letras, gravado durante as entrevistas com a Sra. Landini, uma Marselhesa de 84 anos. Ela relata sua vida, inteiramente focada em um amor vivido em sua juventude. Embora infeliz, este encontro de um homem continua a questionar toda a sua vida, e gera palavras de profunda sabedoria que são ao mesmo tempo as de uma perspectiva assustadora. “Eu me deixo viver, isso é tudo”, diz ela. No livreto, em torno dessas palavras, Estelle Frédet mexeu com atmosfera, documento, poesia, reflexão. E Serge Daney evoca: “A questão da enunciação está sempre ligada àquela do poder: poder falar, poder não falar, poder falar de outra maneira”.

“La force de ce livre d’artiste vient de quelque chose de très classique, à savoir du contenu des paroles, enregistrées lors des entretiens avec madame Landini, une Marseillaise de 84 ans. Elle raconte sa vie, entièrement concentrée sur un amour vécu dans sa jeunesse. Bien que malheureuse, cette rencontre d’un homme continue à interroger toute sa vie, et génère des paroles d’une profonde sagesse qui sont en même temps celles d’un perspectivisme effrayant. “Je me laisse vivre, c’est tout”, dit-elle. Dans le livret, autour de ces paroles, Estelle Frédet agite ambiance, document, poésie, réflexion. Et évoque Serge Daney : “La question de l’énonciation est toujours liée à celle du pouvoir : pouvoir parler, pouvoir ne pas parler, pouvoir parler autrement”.”

“Aéreas de Cássio Vasconcellos, é um percurso fotográfico que ao longo de cinquenta imagens nos apresenta terras, terrenos e territórios. Alguns virgens, mas a grande maioria ocupada ou transformada pela passagem do homem.
Do alto – com privilegiado olhar –, o fotógrafo recorta a paisagem e desenha aos pedaços uma viagem perpendicular, recheada de geografias improváveis, raras geometrias e estranhos acúmulos.
Além da fotografia de Cássio, um inédito ensaio de Eder Chiodetto, jornalista e curador, conduz o leitor nesta viagem.”

“In 1967 and 1968,” Richard Serra said about Untitled (Verb List), “I wrote down a verb list as a way of applying various activities to unspecified materials. To roll, to fold, to bend, to shorten, to shave, to tear, to chip, to split, to cut, to sever. The language structured my activities in relation to materials which had the same function as transitive verbs.» I too have put together a list of action verbs describing my own practice and in particular my relationship with paper: to turn, to split, to tear, to cut, to mask, to divide, to cut into pieces, to make a hole, to dampen, to fold, to caption, to enlarge, to roll, to duplicate, to look at, to hold up, to turn down the corners, to pick up, to fold down, to crumple, to shorten, to move, to find, to repair, to twist, to dirty, to burn, to groove, to macerate, to lift, to put back together, to bend, to stack up, to grease, to reproduce, to reduce, to examine, to lift up… This list has becomes a working method, which I use in applying simple actions to paper. In this way, the paper itself becomes a sculpture.
