Set against the quiet backdrop of Days Push Off Into Nights, we are delighted to introduce you to a new commission from a team that includes Janine Armin, Heman Chong, Christina Li, and Julie Peeters. What began as a conversation at Spring in 2013 has now crystallized into Stationary, an ongoing annual publication that seeks to make a literary space where artists, curators, and writers are invited to write about things, ideas, figures, places, and moments which otherwise could not find form or expression within their own creative practices. Stationary will form a dense collection of short stories over five years.

Stationary is distributed by personal recommendation via email or word of mouth, and arrives wrapped in a special cover commission from Manfred Pernice. Our hope is that this way of circulating stories allows for a circle of readers to form slowly, specifically, and generously over the years. Two thousand copies will be printed and are available free of charge by request from stationarystories.com.

Spring welcomes artist Wu Tsang to the first of two residencies looking into the Chinese poet and heroine Qiu Jin, which will culminate in new work to be shown in 2016.

Wu Tsang is a multi-media artist and award-winning filmmaker based in Los Angeles. His films, performances, and installations investigate complex layers of human life and basic human problems of belonging and conflict. Using a variety of storytelling techniques such as magical realism and personal narrative, Tsang creates mythologies and emotional narratives about the struggle to find adequate identities among nonhomogeneous subcultural communities.
