Things afoot

I'm spending 10 days tooling around the Midwest, during which a number of plans continue to move forward. In brief:
  • I'll be beginning the process of making everything available for purchase on the website via paypal.
  • I'm hoping to print everything that was not printed during the last attempt (see previous post), including some good copies of Synapse.
  • Recording audio-commentary tracks by everyone involved with making the full-length Ubu Roi film and possibly some early PNA video pieces (the Squibbles films and/or those available thru mOnocle-Lash as Poorly Made Films, Vol. I). This means that we can look for some new deluxe editions of these films by the end of A.Da. 94/2010 by either mOnocle-Lash or [Pro]-[Anti].
  • Making & collecting more material from Surrealist games played by various Post-Neo and Post-Neo allied groups for the upcoming Exquisite Crypt 2 anthology, booked for January or early February publication.
  • Interviews with Robert Inhuman and John M. Bennett are underway for the book on DIY/subcultural organising, and more should be undertaken as we move into January.
  • A book of collaborative collage with bela b. Grimm, Warren Fry, and myself.
  • I'll be working with Imogene Engine on another poetic collaboration; we're still considering where to move next on another yet-to-be-titled text.
  • I am currently assembling texts and research materials for what will probably be the first installment of the series of translations of work by the Bouzingos group, poems by Philothée O'Neddy. I'm having difficulty finding texts--only 5 so far! So we may have to begin with somebody with more texts available online (probably Borel or Bertrand) while I try to track down more texts from archives and harder-to-locate printed material; an arduous process. (I can only imagine how hard it will be finding work by Augustus MacKeat or Deveria...) Once I've got enough material to translate, I'll send it all out to our team of willing translators and get this ball rolling!

mOnocle-Lash Anti-Press has published and distributed nearly 50 Post-NeoAbsurdist and Post-Neo friendly journals, chapbooks, pamphlets, (Anti-)Manifestos, albums, films, posters, flyers, anthologies, stickers, add & pass sheets, TLPs, performance scores, paper dolls, and other provocations since A.Da. 89, a.k.a. A.D. 2005. It also manages the re-publication and continued distribution of early Post-Neo material produced under the Appropriated Press imprint, founded by dadaDavid Hartke, Aaron Andrews, and Olchar Lindsann a few months after the genesis of Post-Neo itself.

mOnocle-Lash is administered by Olchar E. Lindsann, and focuses its activity upon and among the international Post-Neo community, visual and marginal writing communities, politicized avant-garde networks and the Eternal Network.

Most of the productions in the mOnocle-Lash catalogue can be obtained in trade for other ‘zines, micropress publications, discs, etc. or for the cost of printing and mailing.
