...and there's a blog, too...

I smash a Gargantua-n bottle filled with marmalade and meat chili against the hull of this maiden blog.

I view this blog as an extension of the mOnocle-Lash website, insofar as whatever discussion and communication ends up occurring here (if anything) will play an integral role in how mOnocle-Lash continues to develop and operate. What form that takes remains to be seen.

In addition to responding to individual releases or making observations about our general strategy and catalog, this is a venue to let us know what you would like to see published, or (better yet) would like to help us make a reality; or to arrange collaborative projects; or to fill in or add to the context of a publication, or follow up its effects; or to ask questions or provoke discussion with those involved with the press; or anything else you (and we) decide to do with it.

In this spirit, we'll be making charming use of the otherwise-often-annoying 'poll' widgets such as the one to the right.links will be added within a few weeks; until then, there's the links page on the website proper.

Somebody start this off...

  1. I always love mixing marmalade and meat chili to put on my breakfast bagel. Can never go wrong with that one.

    I voted in the poll, but the answers don't show...

    I voted other:
    I originally read the essays in synapse 1-3 in order, while browsing through the other work at random in an attempt to figure out: What the FUCK is PostNeoAbsurdism?! Now, I usually take a synapse off of the shelf when in need to re-contextualize the work of some other contributor, to my own work or to the overall scheme which is PostNeoAbsurdism. Everytime I open one, there is always another to be wread which had only been seen before. A reapplication of the current moment's context.

  2. If you're the only one to vote so far (which seems likely), then it did count. You have to click on the little 'results' doodad underneath the poll...

mOnocle-Lash Anti-Press

http://monoclelash.wordpress.com


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.
