PAL SKILLS recognises the proximity of friendship as a condition in which we make and use shared, now languages; ones that permeate the socio-professional composition we are in. Featuring new writing by Isabel Marcos, Kirsty Roberts and Milica Trakilović.

Contents include:

Editorial introduction by Liz Allan and Micha Zweifel

LICK THE ROAD, CLAW THE TAR by Isabel Marcos on the video installation and performance Highway by art duo Momu & No Es.

GRINNING MACHINES AND A CLOSEMOUTHED GROWL by Kirsty Roberts on the collaborative work of Toon Fibbe and Laura Wiedijk.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING MYSELF, BABY I DON'T CARE by Milica Trakilović on the long-duration performance SERFBORT of Dennis Van Vreden.

A Recent Writing formalises existing conversations and ideas that circulate around the artistic practices in our communities. ARW happens always and is published occasionally, arising from within the activities of artists, writers and editors collaborating in Rotterdam.
