This is something like my 34th bk.. not counting Artists' Bks, wch wd bring it up to 38, not counting Chapbks, wch wd bring it up to 40 or more. Let's say 34. I try to make each bk (or group of bks) different from each other in terms of content focus. Some of them are big &, by my standards, expensive; some are small & affordable for just about everybody. This is in the latter category, 6X9", 74pp, full color, a mere $8.00. i WANT PEOPLE TO BUY THEM & READ THEM COVER TO COVER.
My 1st bk is called:
t he bk
t he referent 4 wch consists of
t he non-materialized transparent punch-outs from a letter/whatever stencil
& it's not written anywhere on t he bk. I think you'll agree that that's a unique title. "Dancing in the Streets" ISN'T a unique title. Looking for my own bk online I find 5 others but not mine. One of them is called "Dancin' in the Streets!" & is edited by Sureealist Franklin Rosemont. I'm interested in reading all of them. Mine, I reckon, is modest in comparison to the others. Nonetheless, I was fortunate to be able to get photographs relevant to or from the following people & events:
Mark Knobil, retired PBS cameraman
Paula Gillen, retired photo editor for The New Yorker magazine & someone I've been collaborating w/ for almost 50 yrs (see my website about her here:
http://idioideo.pleintekst.nl/CoGil.html }
mIEKAL aND, cofounder of <i>The Festival of the Swamps, Xexoxial Endarchy, & Dreamtime Village</i>
Vermin Supreme: Intergalactic Ruler (not metrical or divided into inches)
etta cetera, anarchist activist & artist extraordinaire
What?! Collective, What Collective?
HiTEC (Histrionic Thought Experiment Cooperative), well, really, colorful character Carlee Freeman
Visionary Arts Festival, featuring Stephanie the Hula-Hoop Tamer
John-Allen Gibel, a shaman, a philosopher, & a demonstrator of the Chicken Dance to children in Chandi Bhanjyang Village, Chitwan, Nepal; John-Allen's essay
"ON THE ONTOLOGICAL WEAPONIZATION OF THE INCONVENIENT: A TREATISE CONCERNING THE EXISTENTIAL HAZARD POSED BY THE OEUVRE OF tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, AND THE URGENT NECESSITY OF HIS ASSIMILATION INTO COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA AS THE SOLE AVAILABLE PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST CIVILIZATIONAL COLLAPSE"
graces the end of Dancing in the Streets" & provides an appraisal of my Guerrilla Playfare that only a rare fellow traveler cd provide.
Dmitry Veleskevich's "City - a place for Dreaming" is presented in stills from its incarnation in my "Limpolysemia" movie of the IMP ACTIVIST conference of the same name.
Kommisar Hjuler, a former senior police detective, now an avant-garde performer provides a slide of a nude woman dancing on the beach as part of the packaging for one of the many records he publishes
tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, well, there're images of & from me throughout; there're 2 stills of a slackliner named Ethan from a tENT movie called "Slacklining (M)Usic"
Claire Elizabether Barrett, a dancer imitating a pose on a relief in Ephesus, Turkey
Grayson Morris, someone I know next-to-nothing about but he provided 5 highly appropriate photos of, yes, people actually dancing in the streets
tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, yes, well, w/ some assistance from Julie Gonzalez, there're 4 series of a feeble old 72 yr old not-even-coming-close to his vitality of 40 yrs before - still, it was worth a try
Adam Welsh, an artist & musician of exceptional ability to pay attn to detail
These people provide a (quasi-)panoply of extraordinarily active cultural workers of the last half-a-century.
By the by, I DID eventually find this bk for sale online here:
