Properly speaking it is duck tape, not duct tape. So called from the material used to make it as early as 1900: grade 12 duck, plain woven cotton fabric, very easy to get hold of, was what the backing material was. Later and for a short time it was used to repair piping, hence the confusion about the name. Duck Tape is now a trademarked item, like Elephant Tape… Duck tape does have the advantage of being possible to say in a hurry. Gaffer tape (usually black, in my life) comes off easily; duck tape (usually grey ditto) doesn’t. This may influence your choice… ---

In the Nice Modern Art Gallery there was fixed to a wall (& still is, I saw it last year) a large ‘American’ car, rusted and squahed in height so it’s almost 2D. We saw it maybe 18 months after the ‘Queen of all our hearts’ hadn’t worn a seat belt in Paris. #2 son, aged about 4 or 5 bellowed “Daaad. Is this the car that Diana crashed in ??” ---

> [@Fanta](#): > > Properly speaking it is duck tape, not duct tape. Arguable. Duck Tape is the brand name of a subset of the substance (of the aeroplane that’s going to win the war). My earworms are multiplying in a disturbing fashion; please desist from casual bisection of same when gardening. They were on to a hiding to nothing, of course, with an Art Show, on radio. I could and probably will go on about that at a less cross-eyed hour of the night. ---

Just temporarily reactivating this thread for an update on the real(ish) world project I’ve been involved in. All this time to do what Russ achieved in about a month. Obviously we’re not trying hard enough… [https://www.ncad.ie/about/gallery/ncad-gallery-presents-artist-jaki-irvines-ack-ro-a-live-music-performance#](https://www.ncad.ie/about/gallery/ncad-gallery-presents-artist-jaki-irvines-ack-ro-a-live-music-performance#) This is by way of a “trailer” - the exhibition proper opens at the Kerlin Gallery at the end of the month and will also tour, including (I think) London & Colchester. ---

Just heard it might be in London at the end of July. Will let you know as soon as I have confirmation. Meanwhile, a little review/teaser: [https://ocula.com/magazine/insights/jaki-irvine-at-kerlin-gallery/](https://ocula.com/magazine/insights/jaki-irvine-at-kerlin-gallery/) ---

…from the blurb: _“Navigating the gallery space invokes a feeling of containment, like being inside the mind of someone experiencing a dilapidated sense of time and place, or multiple moments at once.”_ Sounds like it might have been written using the StympletonTrypewryter? (…see also tonight’s (Wednesday) scrapings! 😬😬😐😐😐🤔 ---

OK, the review is a bit _Pseud’s Corner_, but the piece **is** in part inspired by Jaki’s own experiences of dealing with a family member’s dementia, so it’s fairly apposite. ---

The planned live performance, alas, had to be shelved—for obvious reasons—but the exhibition has just opened at the Frith Street Gallery, with a new companion piece running simultaneously at the Bower: [https://www.frithstreetgallery.com/exhibitions/jaki-irvine-ack-ro](https://www.frithstreetgallery.com/exhibitions/jaki-irvine-ack-ro) [https://thebower.org.uk/jaki\_irvine.html](https://thebower.org.uk/jaki_irvine.html) ---

Good-oh, joe. Rapture modified slightly since no chance at present of tootling up to town and having 🍺 wiv me favourite poultry-herding flautist… But GOOD-OH! Wishing the exhibition bon succès again. Oh, and The Bower is only slightly down the road, really… G ;- ) ---

I am determined that 🍻 will happen at some stage! The exhibition is well worth seeing, though - Jaki’s work is wonderful. ---

When I saw the subject come up I was thinking of a label saying “site of explosion”, or maybe the star attraction on a modern Ripper tour… ---

Wouldn’t the former be taking it _off_ the map? [Previous page](https://discussion.ambridgereporter.org.uk/t/putting-lowestlox-on-tmap/1766.md?page=2)
