Description
4to. 12 leaves xeroxed on rectos only and stapled several times at the upper left hand corner. Profusely illustrated in b/w. Near fine with some minor creasing. A Situationist zine devoted to a long commentary on the contradictions of Dada and the control of art production by the bourgeouise. The final leaf concludes with a piece on Punk and Dada and the limited recourses available for the first wave punk bands after punk was coopted by the mainstream, noting the breakup of the Sex Pistols, and going rather easy on the Clash. As the author speaks approvingly of the direction that Generation X were taking at the time of the article, we assume this to have been issued around 1979, before they devolved. An important document with an eye towards the confluence of Dada, punk and Situationism at the time. Anoonymously authored; the publisher is given as Xeno Phobia, with a London address (30 Camden Square). Rare. Previously unseen by us. OCLC locates no copies.
