Prepositions by Timmy Simonds & Aaron Lehman: Book Launch
Montez Press is pleased to invite you to the launch of Prepositions, an artist book by Timmy Simonds and Aaron Lehman, on Saturday 7th December from 6:30pm at The Performing Garage, NYC. The night will feature readings from artists and writers Timmy Simonds, Aaron Lehman, Ona Lindquist, Bethany Ides, Thom Donovan, Malcolm Peacock, and Assembly, and will also be broadcast live on MPR.
Prepositions enacts a distinction between what language says and what it does. A catalogue of exercises, interviews, essays and creative explorations, this workbook-compendium invites the reader to investigate how we practise empathy, understanding, and contact, by learning and teaching all at once. Building on the archive of Montez Press Radio show Tongue and Cheek, and featuring work from Assembly, CAConrad, Thom Donovan, Joseph Grigely, Bethany Ides, Thomas Laprade, Shaun Leonardo, Ona Lindquist, Ben Morgan-Cleveland, and Malcolm Peacock, Prepositions asks us what active and embodied participation really means, not just in teaching, but across a whole life.

→ Book your free tickets to the launch on Saturday December 7th
→ Listen to Timmy & Aaron on The Brooklyn Rail’s NSE Podcast on Thursday November 14th, 1pm EST

Meet Nina Kuttler, Pfeil Magazine’s Guest Editor
As we finalise the next issue of Pfeil with a surprise cover, we’d like to introduce the guest editor for the 18th edition, Nina [removed];
Nina Kuttler is a visual artist, reader, writer, co-curator of the Upstream concert series in Hamburg and part of the words & music duo CILIA. Her video works, radio plays and texts deal with the history of science, surface tension, cleaning rags, fossils, horoscopes, celestial bodies, labour, pilots, astronomers, flying objects, fictions, speculations and their connections. In a multi-media approach her work probes cultural and scientific (hi)stories, asking who gets to cultivate, tell and be part of them and for whom they are told.
