No Ideas But In Things
by Stephen Emmerson & Chris Stephenson
Emmerson and Stephenson’s non-connotational word tennis match, No Ideas But In Things, is a mass scale invention of possible objects in the future: ‘WAG chaingangs’, ‘special needs fireworks’, ‘ewok sponsorships’. And a cataloguing of the trivia that invades our lives in the present: ‘pop star wheelchair’, ‘princess diana wet wipe’. Not least an exercise in creating the wondrous and beautiful: ‘lucozade onions’, ‘telephone chairs’, ‘barrack obama pyjamas’. Rather than playing this game in the psychiatrist’s chair they played it via text message – and it’s worked to their advantage, they get all the wrong words right. (James Davies: Editor ‘if p then q’)

The Fluxus President by David Berridge. The marvellous new novella from “one of our most exciting writers and supporters of text art and experimental writing in Britain at the moment” (3am Magazine).
Berridge’s book begins during the two weeks of the COP15 climate change talks in Copenhagen in 2009. Excluded delegates form a single entity, drifting around a city filled with deflating Earth balloons, discovering the legacy of the Fluxus artist Arthur Köpcke, before reconvening in the coffee shops of London’s Mile End. Where President Obama failed can The Fluxus President succeed?

Instructions for the Apocalypse by Rod Sweet and Tim Williams is a fictional account of Gareths Gray’s final hours, as recorded for his daughter. The diatribe, which outlines the confluence of crises leading to the abrupt halt of Western civilization, is accompanied by photographs from a fictional family album.
Instructions for the Apocalypse is a collaborative fiction project that started when Williams found a remarkable collection of Victorian glass-plate negatives. Enlisting the help of Sweet, he created this book, which combines text with photography, collage and scanned objects. The result is an enthralling story of madness, but it is also a visual survey of the last 150 years from war and industrialisation through the rapid apocalyptic acceleration of technology. (paperback, 118 pages, illustrated throughout in colour)
