Dear John
On the phone we discussed the idea of considering works that are “on an of” philosophy. This might include a slight return to Foucault – and this interests me a great deal. As you put it – this might be a good time to think about the production of objects that are embedded with language. Forcing a material to speak is another way of putting this in a more concrete way. But we can talk about this later.
I look forward to talking to you and seeing you.
Liam
