After 8 is now in permanent possession of this sculpture by Flint Jamison, 2011.
In acknowledgement of this, Veneer has produced a new piece of ephemera. It is a letterpress-, inkjet-, and risograph-printed booklet titled: Middle Powers, 2026. Both the booklet and the event are free. Jamison will be in attendance.
also tonight : Buku Akiyama. One Day Fieldwork, Berlin, 2026
While visiting Leipzig in February earlier this year, Akiyama reached out to me to meet in Berlin, where I am, and asked whether there might be any venues here open to hosting his practice in the brief span of one day. In lieu of any access to conventional exhibition facilities, and with one weekend to plan, I sought to arrange spaces available to any resident or visitor in the city through rental and reservation services. After meeting for the first time at Berlin Hauptbahnhof, I brought my companion to the luggage locker area and offered my personal baggage as material. Our next destination was a meeting room within a co-working office, rented for two hours. When the evening came, we travelled to our final destination, a reserved lane at a bowling alley. After completing a few frames, we ended up spending more time with the billiards table, which I was able to reserve in exchange for my Washington driver's license. The selection of sites was meant to model the spaces one occupies during a normal day--morning commute, day-time work, and evening recreational time.
