Artist Ruth Sergel’s project Chalk memorialising the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York in 1911 and other projects. https://streetpictures.org/. The scale of ambition in Sergel’s work ethically, politically, and socially – not to mention logistically – is astonishing, yet remains – at all times – at a human scale.  Paul Fusco’s RKF Funeral Train photographs from 1968. https://www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/politics/paul-fusco-rfk-funeral-train/. This series of photographs have enthralled and perplexed me since I first saw them in 1999. Trying to fully understand their deep resonances was the basis of my entire PhD.  Currently I am excited by the different but related ‘entanglements’ of Karen Barad’s ideas of agential realism and quantum justice, and Merlin Sheldrake’s beautiful book on the life of fungi; Entangled Life.

While working on the first exhibitions, Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Space (Boston, [1958] 1992) has been inspiring in terms of his reference to the fascination of closed drawers as opposed to any treasure entirely revealed. The interlocking towers stayed closed to the visitors during the exhibitions, who were only able to witness them from the outside, either from the trains passing by or from the train stations, looking at the art installations through the windows of the towers – an invitation to further imagine. The art works revealed only so much, in order  to make the viewers curious. 

Wolfgang Schivelbusch’s The Railway Journey (Berkley, 2014) has also been inspiring in terms of his description of the passengers’ gazes through the train windows and their relation to the outside landscape. 

Miwon Kwon’s One Place after Another: Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity (Cambridge, 2002) has been relevant in terms of anchoring the site-specific art of Along the Lines in a wider socio-political context, responding to surroundings and the need in Berlin for art spaces. 

Along the Lines was created out of my passion for train travel and my curiosity concerning the eclectic looking interlocking towers. When contextualizing my art practice, Along the Lines, after the pilot exhibitions, I have recognized connections to other projects and artists, such as Datenstrudel’s Moving Landscapes (Germany, 2017) in terms of creating an art audience out of train passengers and Adam Fremlin and Barbara Nelson’s Breathing Lights (New York State, 2016), in terms of the possibilities for activating spaces with light. The context of cooperating with the Deutsche Bahn over many years and creating art with a bureaucratic organization connects Along the Lines with Mierle Laderman Ukeles’ residency with New York City’s Cleaning Services (New York, 1970s) and Barbara Steveni’s Artist Placement Group (London, 1965–).

Killian Doherty (in collaboration with Edward Lawrenson)

A necessary disclaimer: As I answer this most difficult of questions, I’m becoming frustrated with the temptation of the ‘best films/best art’ online memes which are a necessary but disastrous ‘digest’ phenomena derived by the impossibility of our oracular devices to filter the everything unless it is presented into a hierarchical search return. But it is also a resistance that has to be laid bare in its economical necessity: I hate it because it forces me to the arbitrary and the temporary recollection, against the everythingness that is exactly the beauty I receive from all that stands behind the Oracle’s deliberation and urge to order. So here we are: ask me tomorrow and the algorithm would have changed the possible results of the ‘3 best’ questions! Walter Benjamin,  Illuminations, 1999, Penguin. The irksome and the neglected have their own mythology and powers to attract because of their not-yet aura, spelling out a sense of discovery that perhaps belongs only to those who resist being found themselves, for a variety of reasons between the recalcitrant, the awkward and the embattled. So yes, it is easy to hear Benjamin’s name and feel both glorious and contrived; but Benjamin’s “fondness for what was off the beaten path,” what — in the cultural domain — had “not yet been ground to bits by the official life of spirit.” remains a life teaching worth of its possible pitfalls and every time a new important line of thought or significant event emerges in my view I’m always reminded of the need to look at the reflection of its emergent status, and his heeding to pay attention to the fiery pool reflecting it in the asphalt’. An endless pedagogic value spills out from this source and returns its value in the most unexpected times, such as the present, where the understanding of the currency of the ‘immaterial’ finds Benjamin’s thoughts on the ‘messianic’ truly…well, prophetic! Robert Smithson, The Collected Writing, 1996, University of California Press. Inspiring: ‘arouse, galvanise, stimulate, breath in’. I had it all through Smithson’s work since I first encountered it in the early 90s as a late learner. Even with all re-post-infra-extra-contextualisation (!) necessary to bring his work and thinking into dynamic contexts of practice, research and pedagogy with clarity rather than obfuscation and canonization, what still remains of Smithson’s thinking –at times more than his actual practice- is a message that to wish to remain an ‘artist/practitioner’ despite it all in difficult times is more than bloody-minded retreat, refusal to confront/see or calculating withdrawal. Who knows how perhaps he would have spoiled it all by staying alive a bit longer and seeing it through, but this is what happened and its allure is in part given by its terminal status and the powerful spectrality of his presence in our thinking. Gregory Sholette,  Dark Matter When during the last 10 years I needed an explanation of the ‘now’ -and more importantly the ‘now what?’- in terms of decoding the development of art, its imbricated relationship with the city and the rabid ideology of urban development, Greg’s writings came to the rescue with a clarity and fearlessness that seemed to sweep away the debris of previous failures piling up in front of our cultural doorstep. His capacity for staying with the picture of a growing market-driven artworld in the 00s and still develop and help to construct ways to exist within it have rightly inspired so many of us: to describe its contour by highlighting the invisible matter around it remains such a brilliant intuition and a call to arms that I still embrace when looking for paths of cultural resistance that point to a possible future rather than simply historically review the present.
