  - Marcel Broodthaers Henri Michaux Drawing Liquidity Authorship Krcma
  - Two scenes of the liquefaction of language evince a telling shift in conceptions of art’s work from existential act of self-revelation to the staging of voluntary self-defeat. Two poets-turned-visual artists, Henri Michaux and Marcel Broodthaers, are working silently at their desks. For the first, the supple, ductile liquidity of the ink provides a means to register the shifting intensities of his own duration; for the second, a small-scale deluge washes away his words even as he writes them, signaling an apparent withdrawal of authorial agency. For both, liquidity works against the articulation of conventional symbolic systems; but the kind of silence that each prefers, enabled by a regression of writing to other less codified species of drawing, is eloquent of the gulf separating the places where artists had thought to stand, which arise and recede as historical conditions change.
