MAINTENANT 20: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art is the latest of the ongoing annual MAINTENANT DADA journal series, established in 2008. This year’s issue features over 240 contributors from 34 countries and 6 continents, offering work on the theme of IMPROPERGANDA. With brilliant cover art by renowned Iranian-American artist, Nicky Nodjoumi, MAINTENANT 20 dives into the intersection of politics, misinformation, and the post-truth era. A must-read for academics, artists, and anyone reckoning with modern media and governmental disinformation.
The MAINTENANT series is archived in leading international institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art–New York, the BelVUE Museum–Brussels, and more. Contributors have included such artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Fred Tomaselli, Nicole Eisenman, Edel Rodriguez, and Kazunori Murakami, along with writers William S. Burroughs, Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Jack Hirschman, and Jerome Rothenberg, with a strong contingent of punk musician-artist-writers including Grant Hart, Mike Watt, Exene Cervenka, Thurston Moore, and Alice Bag.
