Purpose
of Pamphlet
There
is a distinct lack of distribution channels for quick-fire
response to art,
cultural
events, policies and writing, and more generally a dearth
of critical thinking.
The Static Pamphlet will ensure that if last night's
exhibition was exceptional or if it was weak, there
is a place for someone to say it publicly, today. By
encouraging criticism we hope it will make it matter
that work is good. This is of particular importance
in places and circuits of activity where the current
criticism structures seldom reach. The Static Pamphlet
consists of a letters page, updated daily, longer articles
and a monthly commissioned essay on the theme of 'Us
and Them'. A new Pamphlet is issued monthly on the 25th,
and a hard-copy distribution available on the 9th of
every month. Static actively seeks and welcomes letters,
articles and essay proposals. |
