PINK IN AN EMERGENCY

AN ONGOING ARTISTIC EXPERIMENT IN PINKNESS AND WORDS

THE MELDING OF PRINTED MATTER, MATERIAL MATTER AND THE VIRTUAL WORLD

WITHIN HUE OUR LATEST ISSUE, THERE IS A STORY BUILT OUT OF SENTENCES CONTAINING THE WORD PINK PURLOINED FROM Olivia Laing's book Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency . THE DELICIOUS melding of PINK WORDS TELL A NEW STORY, REPURPOSED BY ARTIST LISA Z MORGAN.

“I read about Olivia Laing's 'Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency' only a few weeks after Covid-19 enforced a shut down on the East Coast. Not only did it appear to be a vital and needed call to the power of creativity during times of crises but the cover was a perfect sugared almond pink. The book was swiftly ordered. Laing's collection of essays are a cry to action, to hope and possibility, amidst a magnitude of global emergencies. The book also satisfied on another level, due to the number of sentences that included the colour pink — 32 in all. I gathered them to create a new narrative, which pays homage to an inspiring book and to the power of pink-ness.” Lisa Z Morgan
