Pavel Büchler's Don't Love Me (2007)

[Photograph: Pavel Büchler's You Don't Love Me (2007). Photograph: Leeds City Gallery.]

The subject of iam’s forthcoming documentary, making nothing happen (dir. Simon Morris; funded by Manchester Metropolitan University and York College; due September 2010), Pavel Büchler, has been awarded the 2010 Northern Art Prize.

Martin Wainwright’s report on the ceremony for The Guardian, Friday 22 January, 2010, follows:

Büchler scoops the North’s answer to the Turner Prize, declaring his love for Manchester’s buzzing art scene.

He claimed to have last won a competition when he was 13, but artist Pavel Büchler played it cool last night when a packed gallery in Leeds heard that he had taken the third Northern Art prize.

THE IDEOLOGY OF DAVID CAMERON’S CONSERVATIVE PARTY

Nick Thurston

Price £1 (including postage)
Format Postcard poem; one-colour print on 250gsm card
Year 2009
Edition unlimited
Dimensions 155 x 105 mm

“For this simple postcard poem Thurston has set one term within three equally-spaced pairs of inverted/floating commas. As an extension of the contemporary reduction of main-stream type standards in English, which conflates the straight quotation mark with the inverted/floating comma and confuses the American commitment to double quotes with the British flittering between single and double quotes, Thurston releases the spatial compression used by typographers to distinguish double quotation marks from two adjacent apostrophes and he refuses the false spacing used by typographers to separate a quotation mark from an adjacent apostrophe. Here, one term becomes pressured: is it a direct or indirect quotation?; is the term used ironically, cynically, doubtfully, or in a nontraditional or nonliteral sense?; is it claimed as a title or used as a nickname? Simultaneously, the tiering of three pairs presses the question ‘what usage or intention is set or sub-set within which?’. Details »
