"Isn't it true however far we've wandered into our provinces of persecution, where our regrets accuse, we keep returning back to the common faith from which we've all dissented, back to the hands, the feet, the faces? Children are always there and take the hands, even when they are most terrified. Those in love cannot make up their minds to go or stay. Artist and doctor return most often. Only the mad will never, never come back.

For doctors keep on worrying while away, in case their skill is suffering or deserted. Lovers have lived so long with giants and elves, they want belief again in their own size. And the artist prays ever so gently, let me find pure all that can happen. Only uniqueness is success. For instance let me perceive the images of history. All that I push away with doubt and travel, today's and yesterdays alike, like bodies."

Letters from Iceland by W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice.

"Went to Mexico to buy barbiturates for a humane and peaceful death.
Decided that if I was gonna die anyway I might as well fuck a prostitute before it was all over. After that a cab driver offered to sell me cocaine. One thing lead to another, and I got a room above a whore house equipped with a heart shaped bed, a stripper pole, and a hot tub.
Spent a full week snorting coke off tits, popping pain meds, drinking tequila, eating handfuls of Viagra to fight the whiskey/coke dick, and had three FFM threesomes.
Somewhere in the midst of my coke-fueled orgy I decide life wasn't so bad after all."

'"Art feeds off suppression," says [Dasha] Selyanova, whose spring line features prison uniforms printed with the word 'Insecurity.' "In Russia, we're scared of the police. It's a very insecure and unsafe place to be. If you need to get a certain document, you might not get it. If you are doing well, they might tell you to shut down your business. You live in this environment in which anything can happen. And that makes creative people rebel against it."'

Notes from the Underground by Clara Young for Elle Canada: Issue 177/March 2016

"When I entered the art world, there was no Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or smartphones. Someone asked me recently if my improvisational style was intrinsically linked to the fact that it was nurtured in the underground scene. I think having the freedom to be truly experiment­al was really important, and I can understand how some young artists would be less comfortable being public figures when their work can be torn down by social media's uncensored and unformed commentary."
