tender contingencies: Timothy McCormack and Gerhard Richter

“I’ve found that asking [Tim] for stories is usually a good place to start because Tim is always ready with a story. And usually three or four before that because he likes you to know the context for the first. Ultimately there are detours, shortcuts, side paths, tangents, secret doors, byways. He talks like his music, always in discovery. Also like his music, it takes patience: you have to get there.”
