Einmal ist keinmal. Issue 2 of Bumper finds Mike Hill returning unscathed from a night at the Glasgow Art Weekend and Ali Farrelly's sculptural GoPro spectres following Leo Bussi around for days. Also in reviews, Caitlin Merrett King dons her critical overshoes at Niall McCallum's R.A.T. show and Rosie Roberts over-connects with Megan Rudden's poetic critique of the plastocene. In an interview with Christopher Law, Steven Grainger goes long on queer Glasgow, while the aesthetics of nationality is the subject of Thomas Rhys Dixon's essay. For prosodic tastes, Nasim Łuczaj offers a triptych of Georgia O'Keeffes and Amelia Barratt listens floweringly to the new Budgee record. Camilla Grudova's fiction will surely change the way you think about vegetarian restaurants forever. Elsewhere, Leo sits down with Sue Tompkins to talk 'notation in the first degree' and Caitlin chats with Laura Haynes about the ends and beginnings of art writing. Scribbles and all, Sam Keogh's text for performance explores the politics of the mercenary, somewhere between the Holy Roman Empire of the 16th century and the Avicii-pilled Irish technocracy of the 21st. Thanks for coming back.
