Maintenant 20: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art

“A smorgasbord for those who are sick and tired of it.” —Seattle Book Review“Three Rooms Press doesn’t just preserve Dada—they evolve it . . . In an era dominated by algorithmic taste-making and cautious professionalism, Maintenant stands defiantly outside the gate, throwing ink at the walls and planting flags in dreams.” —Richard Modiano, author, The Forbidden LunchboxPolitics has taken its turn to arrive at the worst and the creatures involved have become LOLiticians, their every move from either side laughable—that is, if you still believe in truth. In Maintenant 20: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art, we examine the concept of “Improperganda,” with 250 contributors from around the world exploring the idea that without truth, there’s no need for disapproval. The Maintenant Dada series, established in 2008, explores themes of politics, humanity, philosophy, and current concerns from an antiwar, anarchic (and often eye-opening) perspective. Past issues include work by artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Joel Hubaut, Heide Hatry, Avelino de Araujo, Pawel Kuczynski, Inas Al-Soqi, Giovanni Fontana, Nicole Eisenmann, Syporca Whandal, and Kazunori Murakami; past writers have included Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Andrei Codrescu, Harry E. Northup, Malik Crumpler, Maw Shein Win, and more, with a strong contingent of artist-writers from the world of punk rock, including Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hansen and more. Complete list o
