Rubbish Writing

Rubbish Writing Negotiating the line between writing, performance, and street art, I'm going to find discarded objects in Paris and write on them.

An engagement with some text-based / street art at one of the centers for graffiti art in Paris. and a rare pair of pieces totally in French! (from Spring 2016)

Inspired by the great reaction I received last night upon revealing "Toilet Roll #2" @ Paris Lit Up, I've written another blog post! Actually, there are two new ones for those who haven't checked in a while!

Rubbish Writing has taken another twist, as I am now writing on trash produced by my own life. This second toilet roll of what’s now three, and may be many more, depending on how my sinuses handle the...

This is by far the coolest object I've found so far in what's now been a year of Rubbish Writing : a door pulled off some sort of truck or maybe even a boat, as I was next to the canal. One window broken, the rest intact, ready to be written on. Some people even stopped to read one side while I was writing on the other!

Just under a year after starting to write on found objects, I've decided to get back into it on a more dedicated basis. Today I kept finding blue stuff, so I finally gave in. The writing doesn't show well in the photos, but I found the choice of green marker looked best and hey, as usual it means you kinda have to be there.

I finally found a good mirror to write on, and even a place to hang it up! I hope it didn't fall and break, but if it did, I guess that's just part of the process. In any case, people were actually stopping to look at it, so that was cool.

I found a balloon, and I tried to write on it. I made it halfway through before the inevitable occurred. I apologize to all my cinéphile friends...

Rubbish Writing #9: I found a red balloon on the side of the road, stuck between a car wheel and the curb, miraculously not yet popped. I tried writing on it...

“Young man seeks
a future if possible
In a nice place
With a view of the sea and wood-chip garden.
Close to humane transportation

And not too far from a café
Serious inquiries only please”

It was a relatively quick job, but it had been about 2 weeks since I'd gone rubbish writing, so I just needed to get things going again. I like the shape, and more importantly, perhaps, I went out and wrote without the uniform for the first time. I've been going back and forth on the merits of the "blue suit" but I think it's holding me back from writing whenever I happen to find something good. So, now, it's optional.

Rubbish Writing #7

I would say this is the first piece where the writing really took me somewhere I couldn't have anticipated, so it's competing in my heart with #6 (I did both last Saturday), though they were successful for very different reasons...

If somebody could tell me what exactly to call this little box with drawers I'd be more than grateful!

Arguably my most successful piece yet: I found a cute little chair, wrote a sentence, and then found an audience/budding collector asking to take it home!
