Colm Tóibin on Sign and Symbol

Here

via Wooden Spoon

an interesting excerpt:

The pigment that made them – there were thirteen of these paintings done altogether – is not pure; it is made from the ashes of a copy of Jacques Derrida’s The Truth in Painting. When they had finished burning and painting, the artists wrote to Derrida and offered him one of the paintings.

I can't imagine anything better than a work made from an unread copy of Derrida (read the post to find out more.)
