From the foreword to Issue 9...
The mundaneness of our struggle to live is the existential background of this issue. Our process of editing this book occurred while almost by mistake we stripped the aesthetics from our politics and had the most boring of lives. Go to work. Come home. Pick up the kids. Make diner.  Our articles don’t politicize biking to the job or going out at night. This issue has few recipes to share. Just one article looks at the economy of the artist- we figure that for this issue the daily grind, precarity, is a settled matter. Rather, the praxis of this issue comes to face the possibility for a positionality without a fancy jacket, outside of our living-as-form. This issue's editorial process assumed positionality and observed the effects of techniques. This issue is something much more then norm-core, we observed how a meaningful and effective creativity and creative politic exists quite external to our life-style.

More from our forward:

 

This issue points towards the potential for critical reflection on material and technique in the abstract. This issue points to how things become workable; by removing ones own lifestyle from ones practice to whatever extent possible, our creativity becomes research and development for possible futures. Our creativity becomes research and development to be used to understand how capital and the state move us, or how we can build effective platforms, or how we might alter our relations to find movement through chaos, or to identify contradictions that might be useful.

 

Issue 9 also features our Disobedience Radio Project (in progress).

 

 

Thank you to Metabolic Studios, this issue is a project of the Armory Center for the Arts’s Fiscal Sponsorship Program
