BRICKS FROM THE KILN

BFTK#6 launches on 27th of April at Presse Books, 140 Great Dover St, London, SE1 4GW. 6:30 - 10 pm, with readings and performances. RSVP here. BFTK#6 will be available in-store and online after the launch.

This instalment of Bricks from the Kiln doubles as issue #6 of the journal and as an exhibition catalogue for the thematic show ‘BFTK#6: Tentative — Incomplete — Inconsistent: A Catalogue of the Disappeared, Destroyed, Lost or Otherwise Inaccessible’. Presenting objects, artworks, artefacts, models, events and animals that no-longer — or never did — exist in physical form, the exhibition explores themes of death, destruction and reincarnation, examining persisting interests in notions of ephemerality and permanence, memory and record, preservation and erasure, creation and reconstruction. How do we remember and memorialise? How is space given to the unrecorded? How do we experience the out of reach, concealed, unseen, undiscovered? How can the dematerialised be materialised again, through the mediation of writing, image and sound?

Bricks from the Kiln is an irregular journal and multifarious publisher started in 2015 by Matthew Stuart and Andrew Walsh Lister.
