mOnocle-Lash Anti-Press news
mOnocle-Lash has been silent but not idle this winter, and are ready to announce the release of five new publications (including one at 1,000 pages in three volumes!), plus some new distro material.
All are available via the mOnocle-Lash Website.
This release nearly coincides with the Marginal Arts Festival in Roanoke Virginia, which will be bringing together many scattered members of the mOnocle-Lash family including John M. Bennett, Bradley Chriss, Reed Altemus, Megan Blafas, bela b. Grimm, Jim Leftwich, Tomislav Butkivic, Keith Buchholz, Warren Fry, Tom Cassidy, Olchar Lindsann, and others in he Fluxus and Eternal Network. For this reason we’ll be including a reading of poems from Bennett’s massive new Textis Globbolalicus collection and the new Anti-Prophesies anthology among the festivities on Saturday, March 5.
While many of these are perfect-bound and not available for trade because they must be ordered through the printer online, all except the TLP are available as free downloads as well, from the website:
NEW RELEASES
- Textis Globbolalicus, by John M. Bennett. Introductions by Jim Leftwich, Olchar Lindsann, and Bob BreuKl.
Spanning three volumes and nearly 1,000 pages, this is THE DEFINITIVE collection of texts in that that most indecipherable of tongues, Globbolalia, by its only native speaker, the inimitable Dr. John M. Bennett.
Vol. I: 354 pp., Introduction by Bob BrueckL, cover by C. Mehrl Bennett.
Vol. II: 351 pp., Introduction by Jim Leftwich, cover by Blaster Al Ackerman.
Vol. III: 292 pp., Introduction by Olchar E. Lindsann, cover by Musicmaster.
- Avant the Avant-Garde: Childhood and Family in the Culture of the Avant-Garde, compiled by Olchar E. Lindsann.
Childhood and family are rarely highlighted in discussions of, by, or about the avant-garde; this exploratory investigation takes the form of hundreds of short passages gleaned from memoirs, letters, poems, and autobiographical works of avant-gardists from the past 200+ years, and numerous introductions and biographies, woven into an impressionistic survey of this neglected aspect of avant-garde life.

Promemoria: da oggi a Reggio Emilia: EMILIO VILLA
Emilio Villa
poeta e scrittore

Reggio Emilia, Chiesa di San Giorgio
24 febbraio – 6 aprile 2008
Inaugurazione: 23 febbraio, ore 18:00
Conferenza stampa di presentazione
lunedì 18 febbraio 2008, ore 11.30
Milano, Fondazione Antonio Mazzotta
L’Assessorato Cultura e l’Assessorato Città Storica con le Istituzioni Culturali del Comune di Reggio Emilia (Biblioteca Panizzi e Musei Civici) e con il sostegno di CCPL (gruppo industriale cooperativo) promuovono un progetto di ampio respiro sull’opera e sulla figura di Emilio Villa, con il proposito di rendere omaggio ad uno dei protagonisti più significativi e originali della cultura italiana del Novecento.
La mostra, ideata e curata da Claudio Parmiggiani, si fonda sull’esigenza di riconoscere finalmente, in tutta la sua importanza, il grande debito che la cultura italiana ha nei confronti di Emilio Villa, il cui contributo intellettuale, sempre al di fuori di qualsiasi schema o classificazione, ha lasciato segni profondi nella poesia, nell’arte e nella letteratura del nostro tempo.

Inside the Dilapidarium
Two questions to Jukka-Pekka Kervinen
Q.: I think that your nickname “asemic” (in http://selfsimilarwriting.blogspot.com) is perfect to explain your strategy of accumulation=disintegration of signs (not “meanings”) through multiple exposures, textblocks, and multiple blogs/opus. I believe you hit the spot of the dissipation/multiplicity we are crossing. (Where “to cross” is something like a radioactive kind of “to stay”).
A.: You’re right with accumulation=disintegration strategy, it is very much of that, not meanings, at least on my side. I leave them to reader/viewer/listener. I’ve many strategies with my works, most often I’m involved with ‘controlled indeterminacy’ (a term coined from American composer John Myhill), it is not any specific technique, for me it is the way to control chance, aleatoric control, if it is possible to control at all. But it is everywhere in my life, if not intentional, then subconscious. And if I find it lacks, I add it. With or without computers.
Q.: What about GAMMM’s opebs, “one page e-books”? And what about your opeb’s title, ow oom?
A.: I like this idea of one page works, I’m interested of things which contain restrictions… ow oom is just sounds, but as we always do, we see it as words, each of us differently. Mine was first ‘owl room’, then ‘cow doom’, ‘own boom’ etc …

Journées d’Etudes : « La fabrique du présent » en « résonance » avec la Biennale d’Art Contemporain de Lyon « L’histoire d’une décennie qui n’est pas encore nommée ».
Mercredi 12 décembre-jeudi 13 décembre.
Le CEP propose les journées d’Etudes « Fabriquer le présent ? » dans le cadre des manifestations en résonance avec la Biennale d’art contemporain de Lyon, et dans le prolongement d’un partenariat mis en place par une première journée, « L’inachèvement » organisée par le CEP lors de l’édition 2005 de la Biennale. Son objectif est d’interroger le thème et le protocole proposés par les commissaires de la Biennale 2007 – leur pertinence, leurs limites et leurs enjeux, au moyen d’une approche résolument pluridisciplinaire ; de répondre à la polyphonie de l’évènement par la complexité des champs convoqués.

The remainder series
Recent releases in the remainder series include works by Jim Andrews, Lyn Coffin, Drew Kunz, Jim Leftwich, Bill Shively, Margareta Waterman, Ross Priddle, Michael McCafferty, Marton Koppany, Donato Mancini, Tom Clark, Leane J., Hung Tu, Randy Stark, David-Baptiste Chirot, and others.
The remainder series is a project being completed in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul’s, Goodwill’s, and Salvation Army’s thrift-store aesthetics. The basic idea is to use our paper stock for small editions of poetry and art. The paper for our first remainder series is in various weights and colors though all of it is letter size (8.5” x 11”, 216mm x 279mm). Printed work is issued in numbered editions of 25 or less, 40% of which goes to the poet or artist. While they last, these ordinary prints will be available for $6 a copy, which doesn’t include postage and handling, or $7, which does, payable to

Seattle’s Wessel & Lieberman Books (www.wlbooks.com) has a standing order for three copies of all work produced in the remainder series. Those of you who live in Seattle can stop by the bookstore in Pioneer Square to see the actual prints, which are nicely different in some ways from the pdf versions. Interesting are the differences between print and electronic reproductions, and a working title for the remainder series could have been, to paraphrase an important Walter Benjamin title: The Work of Reproduction in an Age of Technological Art.
