Writing As Occupation #3 (performance/installation)
Writing As Occupation is a series of events and residencies inaugurated by David Stent and Neil Chapman exploring the materiality of writing practice and the complex relations between sound, voice, image and text. Previous events have involved the occupation of a mothballed science laboratory, a former print works and a converted jailhouse.
In association with Force8, the next incarnation of Writing as Occupation moves between the Methodist Chapel on the beach at West Bay and an undisclosed venue just beyond the town limits. A process of translation, embodied in writing practices that mimic switches between image and text, will be set up between the two sites

BLOODCRYSTALPOLLENSTAR
The text takes as its starting point a series of concepts and characters that appear in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, developing a set of characters and a series of narrative trajectories. [From the book's introduction] "Neil Chapman and Ola Stahl ofer us a poetic fiction that dramatisee a number of Deleuzian concepts, 'lived' by their cast of invented conceptual personae. Chapman and Stahl's work brings together art and philosophy, sensation and the concept, in a prgmatic experiment calling forth a new earth, and a new people [. . .] Chapman and Stahl foreground the heterogenesis of the world, and the necessity of actively constructing it. They offer us a schizo-art for a schizo people, a poetic-delirious disjunctive-conjunction: a BLOODCRYSTALPOLLENSTAR' in which our 'and' finally becomes a 'mutating centre'

Angharad Davies Rydal Mount
A text realisation by Neil Chapman, Holly Pester and David R J Stent
Rydal Mount presents the photographic score by Angharad Davies realised by three writers – Neil Chapman, Holly Pester and David R J Stent. Each has responded to the photographs, following instruction to use each as a stimulus for performance – in this case in the form of publication. The three contributions combine to form one realisation. The publication, initiated and edited by Sarah Hughes, is intended as a provocation to consider the boundaries of contemporary composition and the potential of its realisation in various media
Library Notes
Contribution to 'Has Man a Function in Universe: Strategic Question Number 2'
Has Man A Function In Universe? is part of an ongoing project to develop forty projects related to forty questions written by R. Buckminster Fuller. Each project is an artwork or a combination of artworks, developed in response to one of the questions. Of all the questions ‘Has Man A Function In Universe?’ may be the key that binds and directs all of the other questions.
Commissioned by Gavin Wade.
The publication will reflect the process of the project – an ‘exquisite corpse’ involving collaboration, dissemination and the combining of works.

Art • Writing • Diagrammatics
The status of writing in art practice and art-research has changed significantly in recent years. While new categories of ‘Art Writing’ and ‘Conceptual Writing’ come some way towards charting the evolving terrain, much current discourse fails to appreciate how the diverse textual practices found in current art and certain traditions of philosophy and literature imply a new interrogation of the image. Such work might be named ‘Diagrammatics’. The term is derived from the writing of Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari and elaborated through a reading of John Mullarkey’s Post-Continental Philosophy (2006). There are many histories of material-textual practice, many traditions of creative work in which words are used against conventions of reading and communication. Artists and art-researchers are well placed to show how the strands of these practices can be brought together as a new, extra-disciplinary work
