In September of 2009 Joseph Redwood-Martinez began subscribing to e-flux, the art world email digest that reaches tens of thousands of institutions and individuals on a thrice daily basis. To make sense of the sudden deluge of information Redwood-Martinez began selectively reconfiguring pieces of each press release into a body of 'sought poetry'. From the author's introduction: 'As a poetic intervention, event statements is an entirely subjective mapping of the archive by way of core samples and screen shots. The project is without beginning or end, it spills out from the milieu, acting poetically as a rhizome – ceaselessly establishing connections and complicating a worldview written by way of press release.'
