A Surrealist Therapy (Mud |Blood | Fire |Water | Blackness | Sight | Unknown) nostalgia is a formation of Greek compounds, consisting of νόστος, nóstos, “returning home”, a Homeric word, and ἄλγος, álgos, “pain” or “ache”. The word analgesic derives from Greek an- (“without”) and algos (“pain”). This collaborative project (poetry, visual art, sound) which is currently in progress builds on a previous collaboration Continental Drift by myself and poet Sheila Black which formed an exhibition at the Patriothall Gallery, Edinburgh 2010. We are delighted that sound artist Lynne Therman has also joined the project. check out Lynne’s blog: http://dollfur.tumblr.com/ Nostalgia/Analgesic will explore…
