‘A work in which the boundaries of the ordinary collapse to create something quite hallucinatory.’ Thank you so much to Robert Greer for this lovely review of Ed Atkins & Steven Zultanski’s Sorcerer for Idler.

Some Rare Mags treats…

‘Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other is as much a manifesto about artmaking and community-building, as it is a conserver and explorer of real and imagined environments, actual and fictive figures.'

Such a wonderful interview with Danielle Dutton by Hannah Hutchings-Georgiou for The London Magazine.

⬇️

I had the honour of talking to the incredible Danielle Dutton about her latest work Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other (pub. by the super prototype) for the The London Magazine & her responses were just as dreamy, firey & laced with her own kind of magic as her fictions. Read more👇💗👗

'But that’s often how art works. It’s intuitive. It’s murky. You’re creeping along in the dark until you’re not.'

Hannah Hutchings-Georgiou speaks to Danielle Dutton about her latest collection, Prairie, Dresses, Art, Other (@prototypepubs).
