We were so moved by this great new piece from @chapp010.bsky.social in @berlinlit.bsky.social. It's a candid, passionate, vulnerable homage to Hélène Bessette, and to taking ownership of what we want to say: berlinlit.com/la-femme-aux...

We're receiving so many great images from our 5th anniversary event at @pointephemere.bsky.social. Thank you again to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! We're still riding that wave of great energy. Let's keep supporting local independent artists in 2026!

We don’t get to choose the world we live in, we only get to choose the world we fight for.

We'd like to wish a very happy birthday to groundbreaking sound and performance artist, @lesteria.bsky.social. We're so grateful to have you around! 🎂🎉✨

We just dropped this limited edition burning tower t-shirt to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Only a handful in each size and only available while supplies last. Red on cream or black on red. Sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL. DM us to order! (20e, free delivery in Paris; shipping added for elsewhere)

A few weeks ago I had the honor of introducing Andrej Kapor at his book launch in Utrecht. Thanks to Eelco Sijtsma for capturing the moment!

More images and videos coming soon, but thank you Paris and @pointephemere.bsky.social for an incredible night last night!

Our 5th anniversary party is tonight at Point Éphémère!

I’m always saying the same shit and I mean it every time. In the age of soulless AI slop, nothing matters more than your voice, so write/create whatever makes you happy. Make it weird. Make it dark. Make it queer. Make it surreal, diverse, sexy. Make it political as fuck. Do YOU.

Next Tuesday, December 16th, @parisheretics.bsky.social will celebrate their 5-year anniversary. I was so pleased to work with them on Loving Tallulah Bankhead. Hope you’ll turn out for the event at Point Éphémère, for radical love and several helpings of heresy! (Below poster by Lucas Lecacheur)

One week from tonight!

This fall, I wrote one of my Sky Sketches at James Turrell's Irish Sky Garden. Thanks Mich Maroney and @swervejournal.bsky.social for inviting and filming me! And thanks to @artscouncilireland.bsky.social, Cork County Arts for supporting. 🙏 #pacegallery #gagosian www.youtube.com/shorts/C-Z3U...

Really pleased to have a new poem @pamenarpress.bsky.social. I wrote a longish post about it on Instagram, my personal relationship with the accordance/discordance of the French "frôle" with the English "fondle." As ever, talking to the work of Hélène Bessette: www.pamenarpress.com/post/carrie-...
