domestic exotic : food for thought
it’s 7 days until the submission deadline for matzine#8 : here are three foods for your thinking :
1. Slinkachu [above] : look up, look down, zoom in, recycle, make up a story
2. Psychogeographing [the word ‘Psychogeography’ comes from DeQuincey’s wanderings, slightly druggy, no pattern, mapping out the city in a dream-like state. Then with Walter Benjamin and the Situationists the term becomes more extreme, a matter of taking very conceptual decisions about the walking you would do and how you would access the city like that] Iain Sinclair, 1999
3. many small parts make an unexpectedly massive whole : think small
please email your handiwork to submissions.matzine@gmail.com by end of play on Friday 1 April
the issue will be in an a5 format, as before, but I encourage creativity within those limits
matzine#8 : call for submissions!
Pinch Punch, first of the month. The hourglass issue caused quite a stir, now it’s time to get your thinking caps on for matzine#8:
Domestic Exotic entails an uncovering of the unfamiliar in the familiar, which causes a sudden shift of comfort in our surroundings [positive or negative]
Consider the ground as tightly packed substrata of forgotten stories or hollow, filled with colliding conversations between inhabitants, past + present
There’s a river below the road waiting to be found – perhaps the winding path, not the straight line, will take you there
I urge you to actively seek out these hidden truths… Let’s make #8 an unpredictable archive!
Deadline for submissions: 01 april 2011 [playful offerings encouraged in the air of april fools]
story, drawing, collage, photograph, essay, map, statistic, poem, the list goes on….. it’s open-ended [pick +/- mix]
prepare your submissions in a5 portrait, or double a5 spread + send to submissions.matzine@gmail.com
