This issue features textworks that emphasise the touch - handwrit and haptic – particularly pieces that consider emotional engagements, human space - that weird trace and corporate/military erasure of the handmade, the human touch, the not-digital. These qualities link into the alternative tradition of poetics - and to 'outsider' artists who are owed a debt by the experimenters (an IOU all the way back to Will Blake, he and the Mrs sitting on the lawn in London afternoons, naked, drinking tea).
Contributors:
The issue goes online 15th March 2010 and will be launched with a 24 ‘live’ online writing event by Sarah Saunders.
The Series Editor is Jesse Glass.
Saturday 13 March, 2010 tagged London Events in Bob Cobbing, Derek Jarman, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Sol Le Witt, Vito Acconci Monday 22nd March, 6 - 10.30pm
Taking as its theme a re-examination of the Small Press Collection of rare magazines housed at UCL, this event will give you the chance to engage with the spirit of the alternative 'avant-garde' press, re-visiting early texts that straddle the divide between art and poetry — including artists and writers Vito Acconci, Sol Le Witt, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Derek Jarman and Bob Cobbing. These texts will be explored through various forms of performance and accompanied by film, video and documentation of the period. The evening will also stage new creative works by contemporary visual artists, writers and musicians, exploring the interaction between words and images and a 'speaker's corner' with short talks by members of the Slade Word/Image Research Forum.
Staged by the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL.
