Call for Submissions

Updated: Jun 16, 2020

You can now submit work for publishing! The deadline for submissions for the first round of publishing is Monday, June 15th. You can find submission guidelines here.


The first round of submissions should engage in some way with the theme of "Spolia."

‘Arthur Rimbaud in New York,’ 1978 – 1979, David Wojarowicz (1954 – 1992, New Jersey). Posthumous print. From a series of photographs in which Wojnarowicz chronicles his own life and his relationship with NYC of the 1970s, appearing in different urban situations (the subway, at the piers, Coney Island, a diner) in a life-size mask of the poet Arthur Rimbaud. This particular print features shows Wojarowicz in the Rimbaud mask, arms spreadeagle in echo of the graffiti sketch behind him, the outline of a nude male; on the wall to Wojnarowicz’s left is spraypainted the words “The Silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overrated.” As curator Salvador Nadales notes, “The series also represents a contemplation of the end of the experimental artists’ collectives on the Lower East Side, as gentrification and urban speculation transformed the neighborhood, and AIDS had begun to decimate the gay community, also causing the early death of the artist in 1992.”

"Arthur Rimbaud in New York's," by David Wojnarowicz. 1978-1979.
