I am very happy that my collage was selected to be published in MAINTENANT 18: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art published by Three Rooms Press in New York. Coming in July.
The theme of this year’s edition is PLUTOCRAZY: “It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.” – some theorist said. Publishers wrote: “The economy no longer serves human society. It’s a business. So it is time to give business the business. We will redistribute our wealth of new ideas into a Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art called MAINTENANT 18. Let’s shape public opinion with a PLUTOCRAZY of our own manufacture. Creativity is our currency and the amount has no limit. We must separate Merch and State by forging a non-monetary vision which reveals strategies to achieve socio-political and economic equality that expose the military-industrialist complex by linking warfare with capitalism. Shine a light through every crack for we the people. The answers will come from our brand! There are 2,640 billionaires in the world and we’ve got each of them right where we want them.”
“Maintenant” is an annual journal that features the most significant contemporary dada writing and art from around the world. Inspired by the original Maintenant, an irreverent and risk-taking ‘zine published, edited and allegedly written by Arthur Cravan from 1913-1917, the Three Rooms Press editions aim to bring to light cutting-edge poetry and art that stems from this original spirit. Since 2005, Three Rooms Press’ Maintenant has developed an international reputation as a primary source for Dada work by well-known and emerging artists.
