I was invited to contribute a work to SQUID, an online archive for texts in (or as) art.
This Swedish/Finnish/Dutch artists initiative, is interested in texts not written by art historians/curators but by artists, in relation to, or as part of their works.
I was also invited by Simon Benson to contribute a text work to his project in the Chest of Drawers at Phoebus Gallery in Rotterdam.

Writing, as a way of translating observations into texts as part of time/space/related works, is a substantial element of my work as an artist.
In Sound scape the actual writing itself is subject and material of the work:
I describe as precise as possible the sounds that appear when I write with a pen on a sheet of paper.
While I write I pronounce the text in the same speed as the writing.

SQUID Helsinki 20.02.2010
