"Waterslides is a falling and plunging, short starts and stops aided by movement, until we splash, climb and plunge again. Each sliding is the same but different—with each descent new expectations and thoughts swirl, shifting focus and gaining new insights or blockages. Waterslides are brief moments of remembering, remembering as a present tense activity, one that happens as we think of it, projected on our now. The waterslide is the moment of past and present working in tandem, a movement of repeating, revisiting and remembering all at once.”

Written by nvk 2021-2023. Dedicated to Judi, MM & TNN.

A version of these poems was published as an audio work through Ignota Press’ The Mountain (2023) and included in a reading with James Loop on Montez Press Radio (2023). nvk would like to thank Jan Matthé, Stine Sampers and Michelangelo Miccolis for their patience & love.

Cover image by Deveny Faruque, received by mail in February 2020 as a good luck charm (15×17cm, screen print on cotton). From the afterword by Maru Mushtrieva:

"Here, the longing for the Other – unsurmountable distance – is actualized not only by the content but also by the compositional design itself. What at first glance appears to be a stream of consciousness, is in fact a synthesis of vocabulary from past text messages. While composing them, Stine Sampers used her phone’s algorithm to decide what to say next, with suggestions coming from the text messages previously exchanged with her friends. The words from different contexts, once chosen carefully, now belong to the careless vocabulary of a machine, welcomed into a loop of misrecognition."

CS90 (with programme repeating on both sides) mixtape by Entr'acte's Allon Kaye, A New Mix in an Old Language. Limited to 50 copies, presented at De Nor on Friday August 17th 2018, after concerts of Miaux and Alvarius B. Covers riso printed at Risiko Press in Borgerhout, dubbed at home on Maxell UR 90 tapes.

Boomkat reviewed it as such:

‘A New Mix In An Old Language’ reels out 45 minutes of prime Israeli new wave/post-punk/synth pop selected and mixed by reputed Entr’acte bossman Allon Kaye. A charming exercise in nostalgia as much as a treasure trove for researchers and diggers.

The title ’A New Mix In An Old Language’ refers to the fact most songs inside are sung and titled in Hebrew, which is arguably a rarity in the swollen reissue market, yet offers no impediment to our enjoyment of the music; a slick blend of sugary pop and disco along with darker, sleazier, rugged strains that recall sounds from the UK, U.S., Germany and the Lowlands between the mid ‘80s and mid ‘90s.

We can point to the few English-titled cuts, DXM’s little known grim grinder ‘Down The Ground’ and the rollicking no wave of Rest/Unrest as highlights, but you’ll just have to check the rest and do a bit of research (like learning a bit of Hebrew) if you want to ID the others.

147x208mm, 28p, riso printed in black on old stock greenish covers and pink pages, limited to less than 100 unnumbered copies. Thanks to Dennis Tyfus and Sis Matthé. Transcription of the recordings and text on the back by Jan Matthé. José Happart picture © Belga. Printed and assembled at Risiko Press, published on February 14th 2019, presented at Behoud Het Balanseer at Gouvernement, Gent.

The story, in Dutch:

Want ik ben is de woordwoordelijke transcriptie van het avontuurtje–voor–één–nacht dat de Voerense politicus José Happart ergens eind jaren ’80 beleefde met een anoniem lid van het Taal Aktie Komitee, dat onder dekmantel in zijn slaapkamer was geïnfiltreerd om op die wijze de Franstalige radicaal eventueel afpersbare informatie afhandig te maken. Dit manuscript is naar grote waarschijnlijkheid de eerste aaneenschakeling van Nederlandse woorden van de Waalse taalstrijder. Ze werden gefezeld in de oren van de taktivist(e) en vormen in die zin zowel een onvergelijkelijk politiek–historisch document alsook een heerlijk liefdesdichtstuk. Na verder onderzoek ontstond het inzicht dat deze passief–agressieve wellustsballade–met–politieke–ondertoon gelinkt kan worden aan de melodie van de brugpartij uit Zeg ’ns meisje. Deze hit single van de Vlaamse charmezanger Paul Severs kwam in dezelfde periode uit en had als b–kant de muzikaal identieke maar tekstueel vertaalde versie Toutes les filles. José Happart kocht de 7-inch om beide versies te confronteren en zo in het geniep zijn kennis van het Nederlands bij te schaven. In Want ik ben bespeuren we de eerste taalstappen van een zwaargewicht dat zijn sporen op dat moment al ruimschoots verdiend had in andere deelgebieden van de maatschappij en met graagte de kans greep om in de donkerte van de bedstee en het heetst van de strijd zijn nieuwe dada soeverein en nietsvermoedend te exploreren, recht de ontvankelijke oren van een vijand in…

7 years of titles (ramblings, dreams, quotes, wisdom, apologies) and their respective dates in 180 pages. "Dedicated to De Nieuwe Spelling"

Review by Marc Goethals in Flemish art magazine De Witte Raaf here: "Het hoge tempo waarmee de interdisciplinaire publicaties van Dennis Tyfus elkaar opvolgen is verbazingwekkend. Hij is een kunstenaar die eerder het plezier van de kwantiteit dan van de kwaliteit opzoekt. Dieter Roth en Martin Kippenberger toonden vroeger reeds dat deze houding tot interessante resultaten kan leiden. Onder de titels is waarschijnlijk de meest recente publicatie van Dennis Tyfus (bij hem weet je nooit). Dit pover uitgegeven kunstenaarsboekje bevat een compilatie van alle titels die hij sinds 2006 bedacht. Ze zijn chronologisch geordend, maar het is geen heldere lijst zoals men in een catalogus zou verwachten. Alle titels zijn aan elkaar geregen, zonder hoofdletters en punten. Enkel een kleine vermelding van de respectievelijke data onder het eerste woord van elke titel geeft de lezer enige houvast. Wie in de vrolijke taalkronkels van Dennis Tyfus wil duiken, kan hieraan plezier beleven."

Diary of a year with blind spots (mon. 30.05.2011-wed. 30.05.2012). "Fyrir Tìnum"

Brab is also available at Printed Matter here. What they wrote: "Jan Matthé spent a year considering blind spots in his daily routine, wondering what things he fails or see or sees through strong distortion, specifically in a technological age. This diary is a record of that year, composed of every CAPTCHA password Matthé entered while using different websites. CAPTCHA is a computer challenge-response, prompted when a user enters a website, aimed at determining whether the user is human. CAPTCHA passwords generally consist of visually distorted words which would be illegible to a computer, but which a human can easily decipher and type. Sometimes CAPTCHA words are real words, but often they are merely familiar-looking but nonsensical sequences of letters. The compilation of these words, paired with the time and date of each CAPTCHA test, creates a quasi-narrative. The book is wrapped in commercial packaging for an automotive blind spot mirror."

Artists' book by Tina Schott (D), a smile-inducing documentation of the one-evening exhibition Ein Großes Hallöchen ("A Big Hello") at Secondroom in Antwerp September 25th 2010, a room sized collage of people waving, saying hello and putting up their hands for whatever other reasons.

Digital print, b&w, 142 x 185 mm, 60p. Perfect bound. First edition of 50, second edition of 30.

From the Printed Matter website: "This publication records an elongated photo-collage that the artist has extended horizontally throughout a domestic interior. Against a backdrop of both white brick and bathroom tile, each page records an ongoing sequence of historical figures seen addressing the public with one arm raised, a survey of salutations in all of their various cultural-political associations. The work is an intimate staging of history; carefully conceived, and beautifully documented."

Cat. nr. fd—1

A book of all the dedications out of the personal library of the author, a documentation of where it really happens.

Photocopied at home in St. Lauri/Antwerp on a dirty Minolta EP1050 145 x 206 mm, 104p. Perfect bound. First edition of 40, second edition of 45.

Katalog 1 is also part of the Piracy Project library and is described by Printed Matter as "An artists' book that consists of all of the dedications out of the personal library of the author, Jan Matthé. Through this selective documentation, the work becomes a lyrical reflection on the gesture of dedication itself – humbly crafted and bound in a striking orange cover."

Katalog 1 was part of the summer exhibition HELP/LESS at Printed Matter in NY, curated by Chris Habib. The exhibition ran July 14th til September 29th 2012.

Still available through Printed Matter here!
