absence of clutter by Paul Stephens Pdf

An exploration of minimal writing—texts generally shorter than a sentence—as complex, powerful literary and visual works. In the 1960s and 70s, minimal and conceptual artists stripped language down to its most basic components: the word and the letter. Barbara Kruger, Jenny Holzer, Carl Andre, Lawrence Weiner, and others built lucrative careers from text-based art. Meanwhile, poets and writers created works of minimal writing—visual texts generally shorter than a sentence. (One poem by Aram Saroyan reads in its entirety: eyeye.) In absence of clutter, Paul Stephens offers the first comprehensive account of minimal writing, arguing that it is equal in complexity and power to better-known, more commercial text-based art. Minimal writing, Stephens writes, can be beguilingly simple on the surface, but can also offer iterative reading experiences on multiple levels, from the fleeting to the ponderous. “absence of clutter,” for example, the entire text of a poem by Robert Grenier, is both expressive and self-descriptive. Stephens first sets out a theoretical framework for reading and viewing minimal writing and then offers close readings of works of minimal writing by Saroyan, Grenier, Norman Pritchard, Natalie Czech, and others. He “reverse engineers” recent works by Jen Bervin, Craig Dworkin, and Christian Bök that draw on molecular biology, and explores print-on-demand books by Holly Melgard, code poetry by Nick Montfort, Twitter-based work by Allison Parrish, and the use of Instagram by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Saroyan. Text, it seems, is becoming ever more prevalent in visual art; meanwhile, poems are getting shorter. When reading has become scanning a screen and writing tapping out a text, absence of clutter invites us to reflect on how we read, see, and pay attention.

How to Organize and Declutter Everything-- Your Home, Mind & Life by Samantha Claire Pdf

"ORGANIZED AND A CLUTTER-FREE LIFE WITHIN A WEEK --- OR YOUR MONEY BACK" Do you find yourself jumping over a pile of clothes in your home? Do you look back and wonder where the hours in your day disappeared to? Worry not, nobody is born organized and organization is not inherited either. It is a skill that is learned and though daunting at first, once you know what to do, the process becomes much more straightforward. This book offers you the help you need to get organized in a simple manner with step by step guides that even the absolute beginner can understand. Before you dive into your closet and start tidying up, the thing you need to do first is understanding the organizing principles. All of us are different, and no two people can organize a space the same way. These principles will guide you as you organize without taking away your creativity and uniqueness and can be applied to any area that needs to be organized. The next thing you need is to get the right mindset. Organizing is not just about putting things away, it is a combination of actions where things are placed where they belong. It is as simple as that yet most people struggle with it. The issue then is not the inability to get organized but a mental problem. Acquiring the right mindset gives 90 percent success. This mindset, however, is dependent on having the right organizing technique. This book focuses on transforming your mindset to give you success in getting organized. Here's a preview of what you'll learn: PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZING MANAGING YOUR TIME BASIC GUIDELINES Accept what you can’t change Be effective and efficient as well ORGANIZING YOUR MONTH ORGANIZING THE WEEK ORGANIZING YOUR DAY UNDERSTANDING TIME WASTING THE TIME WASTERS TOP TEN APPS TO KEEP YOU ORGANIZED ORGANIZING YOUR HOME THE KITCHEN ARRANGING THE DIFFERENT AREAS Cabinets The counter Refrigerator Pantry THINGS TO NOTE LIVING ROOM Creating order in the living room The hallway Dining room ORGANIZING THE BEDROOM THE MASTER BEDROOM Organizing the room Get rid of unnecessary items Night stand Bed Dressing table THE CLOSET KIDS’ BEDROOM THE BATHROOM Getting started The sink Shower and bath GET ORGANIZED ON THE MOVE ORGANIZING SMALL SPACES TO MAXIMIZE ROOM Declutter and start getting organized today!

The Hoarders by Scott Herring Pdf

The verb “declutter” has not yet made it into the Oxford English Dictionary, but its ever-increasing usage suggests that it’s only a matter of time. Articles containing tips and tricks on how to get organized cover magazine pages and pop up in TV programs and commercials, while clutter professionals and specialists referred to as “clutterologists” are just a phone call away. Everywhere the sentiment is the same: clutter is bad. In The Hoarders, Scott Herring provides an in-depth examination of how modern hoarders came into being, from their onset in the late 1930s to the present day. He finds that both the idea of organization and the role of the clutterologist are deeply ingrained in our culture, and that there is a fine line between clutter and deviance in America. Herring introduces us to Jill, whose countertops are piled high with decaying food and whose cabinets are overrun with purchases, while the fly strips hanging from her ceiling are arguably more fly than strip. When Jill spots a decomposing pumpkin about to be jettisoned, she stops, seeing in the rotting, squalid vegetable a special treasure. “I’ve never seen one quite like this before,” she says, and looks to see if any seeds remain. It is from moments like these that Herring builds his questions: What counts as an acceptable material life—and who decides? Is hoarding some sort of inherent deviation of the mind, or a recent historical phenomenon grounded in changing material cultures? Herring opts for the latter, explaining that hoarders attract attention not because they are mentally ill but because they challenge normal modes of material relations. Piled high with detailed and, at times, disturbing descriptions of uncleanliness, The Hoarders delivers a sweeping and fascinating history of hoarding that will cause us all to reconsider how we view these accumulators of clutter.
