have you heard of...cerith wyn evans??

we hear artists being refered to one another all the time and here is yet another examply. when i found wyn evans text piece '...in which something happens all over again for the very first time.' in this septembers, frieze magazine i couldn't help think of one of my fav's martin creed. which i guess is a compliment to my new discovery of wyn evans works.

reading about some of his work was very interesting indeed. to quote;

"wyn evans readily abmits that intextuality structures his endeavour: the author, or by extension the artist, does not originate a text but orchestrates what has already been written."

i think this is an essential tool for artists, god knows we've heard andrew say it enough; 'you can rip off any artist, as long you do it bigger and better then them.'well wyn evans is consumed with language and the use of it in literature. using refernce to the works of; j.g. ballard, judith butler, william s. burroughs, brion gysin and guy debord. frieze featured the picture above (which could be a bit small sorry) the text is hung from a wall, and serves as a title for the eiffel tower which peeks over the rooftop (actually outside the exhibition centre, ARC, in paris). in all his work he seems to play a game with his audience with words, these references are sometimes hidden but always present.
