neoism / at FB

Definitions of Neoism and Neoist activity are currently disputed. The main source of this are splits within the Neoist network which created vastly different, tactically distorted accounts of Neoism and its history. Undisputed, however are the origins of the movement in the mid- to late 1970s Canada, and the coinage of the multiple identity Monty Cantsin through the Mail Artist David Zack (died ca. 1995) (perhaps with the collaboration of performance artist Istvan Kantor). Schisms followed in the mid-1980s when writer Stewart Home sought to separate himself from the rest of the Neoist network, manifesting itself also in Home’s books on Neoism as opposed to the various Neoist resources in the Internet). In non-Neoist terms, Neoism could be called an international subculture which in the beginning put itself into simultaneous continuity and discontinuity with, among others, experimental arts (such as Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus and Concept Art), punk, industrial music and electropop, political and religious free-spirit movements, Science Fiction literature, ‘pataphysics and speculative science. Neoism also gathered players with backgrounds in graffiti and street performance, language writing (later known as language poetry), experimental film and video, Mail Art, the early Church of the Subgenius and gay and lesbian culture. Neoism then gradually transformed from an active subculture into a self-written urban legend. As a side effect, many other subcultures, artistic and political groups since the late 1980s have – often vaguely – referred to Neoism and thereby perpetuated its myth.

7 June / Myopic Poetry Series / Chicago

THE MYOPIC POETRY SERIES — a weekly series of readings and occasional poets’ talks

Myopic Books in Chicago — Sundays at 7:00 / 1564 N. Milwaukee Avenue, 2nd Floor

http://www.myopicbookstore.com/poetry.html

Curator: Larry Sawyer

THIS SUNDAY AT MYOPIC BOOKS

Sunday, June 7 – James Kennedy, A.D. Jameson & Jeremy Davies

James KENNEDY is the author of THE ORDER OF ODD-FISH (Random House / Delacorte Press 2008), a fantastical YA comedy that was one of the Smithsonian’s Notable Books for Children 2008. Booklist praised ODD-FISH as “hilarious . . . readers with a finely tuned sense of the absurd are going to adore the Technicolor ride” and Time Out Chicago described it as “a work of mischievous imagination and outrageous invention.” He also plays bass in the Chicago art-punk band Brilliant Pebbles, which has been described variously as “melodramatic video game music,” “moon-man opera,” and “gypsy sex metal.” He lives in Humboldt Park in Chicago.

A. D. JAMESON is a writer, performer, and video artist. Over the past four years he’s written two novels and two short story collections, at least one of which will hopefully someday see print. His fiction has appeared in The Denver Quarterly, Fiction International, The Mississippi Review Online, elimae, Lamination Colony, and various other journals. He teaches at DePaul University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Jeremy DAVIES was born in Brooklyn. He is an editor at Dalkey Archive Press in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. This year, Counterpath Press published his first novel, ROSE ALLEY, about which Harry Mathews said, “you have no excuse not to read this book,” and which has been described as “A hilarious, utterly original, totally self-conscious tale” by Nicholas Birns, and “[F]unny, sexy, and relentlessly brainy,” by THE FRONT TABLE.
