“This is not new, of course”, the ninth issue of F.R.DAVID (Spring 2012), finds ‘poetry’ – the word and the product – NOT sacred, IS mutable, and SHOULD be replaced with “politics”, “art”, “baking”, “film” and “cabinet-making” as one possible means to record life.
Features contributions by Stan Brakhage, Adam Chodzko, Cid Corman, Maya Deren, Robert Duncan, Anja Kirschner / David Panos, Hilary Koob Sassen, Jackson Mac Low, Chris Mann, Charles Olson, Marjorie Perloff, C.H. Sisson, H.G. Widdowson and more.
Published twice yearly by de Appel arts centre, Amsterdam, F.R. DAVID focuses on the status of (reading and) writing in contemporary art practice. Writing as a mode that informs and feeds, supports and describes, backs up, interprets, comments and reflects upon artistic production. Writing as the core material of certain artists but equally as a mode that exists parallel to or in service of the visual.
