In Ali Smith’s Companion Piece, which I mentioned in yesterday’s footnote to the post

after following the link in the article ‘Companion, Peace’, from Experiments in Art Research: How Do We Live Questions Through Art?, edited by Sarah Travis, Azlan Guttenberg Smith, Catalina Hernández-Cabal, Jorge Lucero, a post-Minus Plato dialogue with Angela Baldus, there is a passage on p. 84 about sweet piano melodies and their companion, “the complext cruelties that were always happening so very simply everywhere” (like today in Gaza). On reading this, I went in search of such piano melodies and found myself listening to some pieces by Cornelius Cardew, which, in turn led me here.

      Thank you, A! My immediate reply to your image is another footnote (have you been following the trail of breadcrumbs I’ve been leaving here? You may have to retrace your steps) which I have posted today (June 13) for tomorrow (June 14) on the following old Minus exhibition about myths of the academy. Here’s a shortcut, although I recommend going the scenic route: https://minusplato.com/2016/04/the-academy-minus-plato.html. R
