little hammers

BlackLodge (draft/unfinished)

Norther Feeders of coquet

where the grass grows glass houses

five sepals downy to the South

the bastard asphodel

& Poetry Ecology Groups

in the trees, floors, walls

chewing three-lobed crowfoots

spat out on small infill sites of Business Parks

are vanished Rotes Wien melling blood

skeletons career bittered cathartic

& balkanised Alex Niven's

on the High Speed train back home

sacrators of Basilidian devolutions

frothing the shallower parts in hallowed maisonette's

on Purchese Street Argent wide my palest tear

drops outside the Kissing Building

as the 1% turn-in as actual architectural design

a Heatherwick Stairway couponed to UK Heaven,

the heritage versions, the histories embedded in bas-relief

metallic faces landscraped our little gaps of sedge

dream archipelagos buried inside District Councils

through the dales, The Productive State

beyond this rosacea skin acreage

its languid song falls hardest in

The Real-time Air Quality Index

Visual Maps to hide gloms

of golden saxifrage

beneath an escarpment the sinking seam

before it was reached,

the need to be a tribune.

Gallerists 2026 (Albert Riera Galceran) (Ian Soler Bradley) (Román Fabre), 2026

(Albert Riera Galceran) (Ian Soler Bradley) (Román Fabre)

43 x 9.2 cm Vichy Catalan Bottle 1 Litre,

Urine, Glass shelf, fixings

Q. To begin with, could you describe this work?

A. Yes, of course. What I've done is change a bottle of urine into a full-grown gallerist without altering the accidents of the bottle of urine.

Q. The accidents?

A. Yes. The colour, feel, weight, size ...

Q. Do you mean that the bottle of urine is a symbol of a gallerist?

A. No. It's not a symbol. I've changed the physical substance of the bottle of urine into that of a gallerist.

Q. It looks like a bottle of urine.

A. Of course it does. I didn't change its appearance. But it's not a bottle of urine, it's a gallerist.

Q. Can you prove what you've claimed to have done?

A. Well, yes and no. I claim to have maintained the physical form of the bottle of urine and, as you can see, I have. However, as one normally looks for evidence of physical change in terms of altered form, no such proof exists.

Q. Haven't you simply called this bottle of urine a gallerist?

A. Absolutely not. It is not a bottle of urine anymore. I have changed its actual substance. It would no longer be accurate to call it a bottle of urine. One could call it anything one wished but that would not alter the fact that it is a gallerist.

Q. Isn't this just a case of the emperor's new clothes?

A. No. With the emperor's new clothes people claimed to see something that wasn't there because they felt they should. I would be very surprised if anyone told me they saw a gallerist.

Q. Was it difficult to effect the change?

A. No effort at all. But it took me years of work before I realised I could do it.

Q. When precisely did the bottle of urine become a gallerist?

A. When I put the urine in the bottle.

Q. Does this happen every time you fill a bottle with urine?

A. No, of course not. Only when I intend to change it into a gallerist.

Q. Then intention causes the change?

A. I would say it precipitates the change.

Q. You don't know how you do it?

A. It contradicts what I feel I know about cause and effect.

Q. It seems to me that you are claiming to have worked a miracle. Isn't that the case?

A. I'm flattered that you think so.

Q. But aren't you the only person who can do something like this?

A. How could I know?

Q. Could you teach others to do it?

A. No, it's not something one can teach.

Q. Do you consider that changing the bottle of urine into a gallerist constitutes an art work?

A. Yes.

Q. What precisely is the art work? The bottle of urine?

A. There is no bottle of urine anymore.

Q. The process of change?

A. There is no process involved in the change.

Q. The gallerist?

A. Yes. The gallerist.

Q. But the gallerist only exists in the mind.

A. No. The actual gallerist is physically present but in the form of the bottle of urine. As the bottle of urine was a particular bottle of urine, the gallerist is also a particular gallerist. To conceive the category 'gallerist' or to picture a particular gallerist is not to understand and experience what appears to be a bottle of urine as a gallerist. Just as it is imperceivable it also inconceivable.

Q. Did the particular gallerist exist somewhere else before it took the form of a bottle of urine?

A. No. This particular gallerist did not exist previously. I should also point out that it does not and will not ever have any other form than that of a bottle of urine.

Q. How long will it continue to be a gallerist?

A. Until I change it.
