Tacita Dean: JG Ballard, Robert Smithson and me

Artist Tacita Dean talks to Adrian Searle about her epic search for Robert Smithson's ethereal earthwork Spiral Jetty in Utah – and how she discovered that JG Ballard shared her adoration of the land artist. The former Turner prize nominee, who displayed filmic work at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in 2011, exhibits the new videowork called JG alongside a series of postcards from prewar Kassel in Germany, over-painted by the artist to show 70 years of change. The show is at London's Frith Street Gallery from Friday to 26 October

♪♫ Sage Francis - Makeshift Patriot

RIP to all the innocent people who lost their lives on 9/11. I still cry when I take the time to stop and think about what happened on that awful day. My memory isn't as sharp as it once was, but I still remember the room I was standing in when it happened, the images I saw, the conversations I had, and most of what went down in the days that followed the attacks. I remember the horror, fear, and confusion as much as the sense of manipulation I was getting from U.S. media. I still remember that. I still remember. I never forgot.
So, at the risk of offending those of you who believe that this day is strictly about mourning, I'd like to try my hand at contributing an addendum to some popular bumper sticker wisdom:
Always remember...
Never forget...
...this is the anniversary of when the events of that horrific day were used to start senseless wars while our civil liberties were stripped bit by bit. 12 years and going.
