WINDOW CURRENT WINDOW ARTIST: HERNAN JOURDAN
WINDOW ON DISPLAY UNTIL END OF MAY!
Hernán Jourdan has completed film & video studies at the School of Tokyo Visual Arts (2008) and since then developed projects in Argentina, Chile, United States, Canada & France. MacColl Johnson Fellow for creative writing (2021) by the Rhode Island Foundation. Scholarship recipient of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (文部科学省 / Monbukagakusho). In residence at Cité Internationale Des Arts (2018) he started developing North by South , a literary experiment that chronicles his immigration journey from Buenos Aires to Providence, RI. The project has continued to grow thanks to Assets for Artists (2019) and a writer-in-residency program at the Studios at MassMoca (2021). He is a PGI grantee (2018-2019) of the Rhode Island State Council for the Arts ( RISCA ) to develop the Latinx queer platform Thank You For Listening . On this platform we host conversations and artistic expressions that manifest and celebrate our different identities as Latin Americans. TYFL has also been commissioned by the RISD Museum for the Assembly/Encuentro series. 
These are postcards from a continent. “North By South” is a literary experiment, a journey across
South and North America made chronicles from a continent that feels connected but disjointed at
the same time. It’s the experience of a queer hitchhiker and the collective consciousness he finds
across diferent geographies. It’s bilingual travel literature with the confessions that a diary receives
after suffering a family crisis. It’s a journal where borders made upon this land are questioned and so
the nature of our e/migration journeys re-imagined. It is a map of routes across the Southern
and Northern hemispheres and above all, a written exercise towards healing.

Hello Hello!!! This is my last digest :( After two beautiful years living at the Dirt Palace, I am moving. I am
staying in Providence with my partner, Avery and our cat, Thimble, so we'll be around and about all the
time. I can't even begin to express my immense gratitude to the Dirt Palace and all of the wonderful people
that have been a part of my time here. I will always treasure this time.
As a final little link for you all- my partner Avery and I have started a little press called Pine Street Press
where we are selling some of our work and being pretty silly- enjoy :) More things will be continually
added every month or so.
love to all :)

Hello from me and this snail-hunting Limpkin that I scoped while visiting Gainesville recently.
This past Spring I've been helping out with the Providence-based Building Circles crew to put a second
story on a one story building. It has been a fantastic feat and I have been learning a lot along side amazing people like Vuthy and Yun-Yun (pictured below)!
I also took part helping to install a marquee (fabricated at a fine furniture woodshop I work at) on the
Wedding Cake House lawn. Check out my woodshop boss Shaun Bullens finishing the install touches.
Artistically, the past few months have been a bit of an internal time, doing a bit of collaging and seeing
where that takes me.
Upcoming for Providence, June 23rd I will be playing a duet with Anka at The Lost Bag, which will be at an exciting new location. June 22nd Anka and I will be DJing together at the disco skate night in downtown Providence, come through.

Want one of these burning prints below? Send something you've made (a drawing, a print, a poem, an
audio track, a popsicle (don't actually send a popsicle), a manifesto, a small child) to
Pippi Z
14 Olneyville Square
Providence RI 02909
and she'll send you one in the mail FOC (that's free of charge for the non-Anthony Perkins fans). Offer
available till they are all gone. Don't forget to include your return address. Free prints only for people willing
to send me something in the snail mail. This was originally a "friends & family" deal now extended to the
"public". But whatever you call yourself, feel free to send mail in exchange.
This is a yearly project. Prints from last year (image below) are now for sale for $35. (that is unless you
want to send me multiple things in the mail - one labeled "burn", one labeled "time".)
HARPY will be performing Fuck the 4th Fest in Providence Sunday July 2nd. So pumped for this line-up!!! We're releasing a new track soooooooon. Keep an eye on our insta or bandcamp
XANDER MARRO
Exhibit A) the uses and abuses of the Lynda Benglis 1974 art forum ad to discuss a Susan Sontag essay
Exhibit B) On May 25th Earmarked for Collision: a Highly Biased Tour of Collage Animation, by Chris Robinson, the first scholarly book on the topic of collage animation came out and there's some pages about
X & her movies in it. All of the chapter tiles are great, but very excited to hang in a chapter titled "Pending Elliptical Ghost Perverts"
