Moyra Davey
Photographs distributed in order of their appearance within the texts interrupt the various writers' contributions. Furthermore, for Davey's own essay, and for the interview, the artist chose to reproduce her photographic "Mailers", a unique series and format of work that Davey likes to refer to simply as "mail art". -- Publisher Description.

Simone Forti
"I've gathered so many books (...), all about the family. This is all washing over me like a waterfall. I can't figure out the genealogy, the chronology flows like currents that wind around each other at different rates. (...) And now I'm recognizing that I'm part of this tribe, this family of writers writing about our tribe." These sentences can be found in Simone Forti's new publication "The Bear in the Mirror", a wonderful collection of stories, prose-poems, drawings, photos, letters, notes and memories. Simone Forti dives into the (his)stories of her family and of the woollen mills they once owned, trying to put all the myths and fragments of information into some kind of perspective. She takes us on a mind-provoking, mesmerizing journey through time and place, from December 1938 till the present moment, from Italy to Los Angeles. Along the journey we find ourselves in different cities and in the woods, where we meet her family, bears, dogs and spiders.

‘… ut semper sit in flore’
De gemeenteraad had er aanvankelijk weinig vertrouwen in, maar zwichtte in 1913. Het Gemeentelijk Gymnasium verrees in een nieuw pand aan de Schuttersweg en bleek van begin af aan een succes. Het aantal leerlingen nam snel toe. Bijna jaarlijks klopte het schoolbestuur bij de gemeente aan met de vraag om uitbreiding: meer vakken, meer docenten, meer lokalen. De groei zette niet eindeloos door. Na ruim vijftig jaar kwam er zelfs bijna een roemloos einde aan de school. Het Gymnasium kwam de crisis echter te boven en bleek ook in latere jaren veerkrachtig genoeg om diverse veranderingen en vernieuwingen het hoofd te bieden. Op basis van archiefmateriaal en persoonlijke herinneringen komt het verhaal van de school hier tot leven met ruime aandacht voor schoolorganisatie en huisvesting, voor de Hilversumse Gymnasiasten Bond, de Romereis, feestavonden en - hoe ongrijpbaar ook - de gymnasiale sfeer van toen en nu.
Cally Spooner
A tear, engineered in 1856 by Rodolphe-the adulterous lover of Flaubert's Madame Bovary-is dripped onto a breakup letter and sent to the heroine via messenger. "There ought to have been some tears on this; but I can't cry; it isn't my fault," he says, but not to her. Then, having filled a drinking glass with water, Rodolphe dips his finger and lets a big drop fall onto the paper, leaving a pale stain on the ink. Cally Spooner's monograph documents a large eco-system of 40+ works which takes the incident of this false tear as a lynch pin, to reflect on the outsourcing, hijacking, erosion, decay, or destruction of personal, subjective utterance, in a 21st-century hyper connected and financialized climate. For the monograph, Spooner describes each work in an active, present-tense voice, intercut with diagrams, drawings, culled, and censored correspondence. New essays bring into focus central themes that play out in Spooner's transdisciplinary performance work.
