Wow, thank you!!

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

Thanks for being interesting to write about!

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

Dear Friends,

Thank you to all who followed the thread of the “Dear Paul” letters (to @soulellis ), and even greater thanks to those who wrote in and wrote back.

I find I am left with a new question…

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

Dear Friends,
Here’s the conclusion of my long conversation-letter with my friend @soulellis . In it I consider publics, counterpublics and the undercommons, and how reading and publishing together are acts of poetic world-making. https://t.co/HGXRYpE2wC

Thank you to all who have been buying, sharing, & talking about The Uses of Art. An SPD nonfiction bestseller for six months straight!

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

Dear Friends,

Here is the second part of my long, slow, public letter to @soulellis . I’m continuing to think through the idea of publishing as a form of public action…

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

🧵
Dear Paul, I’ve been thinking of you.

On my trips upstate this fall, I was listening to Jack Halberstam’s The Queer Art of Failure in the car, finally catching up to a book you had been talking about a few years ago…

[Sal Randolph @salrandolph]

Oh Hey! The Uses of Art is still climbing the charts! Thanks everyone!

I started a Substack today. I’m imagining it as a space to write and dream forward from my book, The Uses of Art. I’ll begin with encounters with art and spiral out into preoccupations, experiments and weirdness. Free to subscribe. https://t.co/MO6SoKBHym

Weekly post-farmers-market lunch in Santa Monica with Jeff Weiss. Posting this with the hopes an art writer will retweet this and it will end up in Jeff’s nightly email artwork ‘old news’ (yes we eat at shoops)

Friends, If you're in New York, please join me for a book party and reading on Friday, Jan 20. We'll be gathering at 588 Broadway #1108 from 5-7 PM.

I'd love to see you! I'll have books on hand and would be delighted to sign your copy. https://t.co/PEl3IayC2c

Thanks, Brendan!

[Brendan Schlagel @schlagetown]

I appreciate @salrandolph for a cornucopia of amazing art & publishing work; for creative generativity literal & conceptual, for genuine & generous curiosity, shared in a profound array of ways, from books like 'reading room' & 'the uses of art' to thoughtful teaching experiments

[Dispersed Holdings @dispersedspace]

Better late than never!
