It really is striking how much they want us to see images of their own brutality. The pretense of being anything but a exercise in violence has all but disappeared.

Preliminary cover design for my artbook: "Wish You Were Here: The Brutality of Spectacle".

The book will contain graphic images of execution postcards and poses the question: why were these images made into postcards?

Favourite artist of the day: Doris Salcedo. She describes her work as ‘a topology of mourning’; in each of her sculptures, installations and public projects Salcedo bears witness to life that has become the casualty of a political agenda.

When the act of forgiveness is the kindest thing, we can do for ourselves.

Amazing how such small numbers have been identified as the voice of the nation when, for comparison, 100,000 turned out for trans pride last month in London.

Favourite artist of the day. Today it's: Serbian artist Marina Abramovic. She has marked the history of art with her intense and moving performances. Like Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci and Chris Burden, she is one of the artists who introduced performance to the world of art.

Favourite artist of the day. Today it's: Sophie Calle, who is a French photographer, conceptual artist, and writer most famous for her performance-like projects where she plays detective and voyeur, involving herself in bizarre situations with strangers and recording them.

Favourite artist of the day. Today it's: On Kawara. His magnum opus and ongoing project is the “Today” series, also called “Date Paintings,” comprising a simple painting of a date, housed in a cardboard box lined with a newspaper clipping from the same day.
