- WORKING PAPERS 5
-
- This marks the fifth year that PUBLIC DOMAIN has provided an informal
- forum for the presentation and discussion of ideas and arts for what has
- been called the crises in representation (art), legitimation (politics),
- and communication. PUBLIC DOMAIN as an organization is devoted in both
- theory and practice to examinations of the relationships between art and
- ideas, and more specifically, the role that technology plays in constituting
- modern life and thought. To facilitate these explorations we conduct a
- series of presentations called WORKING PAPERS several times a year, publish
- a limited edition of the journal PERFORATIONS, and provide on-line computer
- network services for PUBLIC DOMAIN members.
-
- This Winter's series of WORKING PAPERS will be held at the Homage Coffee
- House at 255 Trinity Ave. (near the Trinity gallery) in downtown Atlanta.
- (Their phone number is 525-7546). Each session will begin at 7:30 p.m.
- and last approximately one hour. There will be an opportunity for
- discussion following each presentation. Admission is free and open to the
- public. We are however, a small, non-profit organization with limited
- funding, so we do accept and appreciate any and all contributions that you
- might care to make.....

- WHERE POETRY HAS BEEN:
- THE SPACE OF LANGUAGE WRITING
-
- Language poetry is artistic noise: it resists the dreams of pure
- communication, placing before us the heterogenous, ruptured,
- anti-subjective writing of the American tradition which extend
- forward from the poetics of Gertrude Stein. This tangent within
- contemporary North American poetry bridges gaps between theory
- (postmodern, poststructuralist, feminist), performance art (Cage,
- Mac Low, Antin), and the technological metadiscourses (Foucault,
- Baudrillard, Haraway) which fill the air. It is aggressively and
- humorously political: is sets the ear on edge. I will present a
- montage of textual exemplars, and offer a provisional account of
- this new writing's place in the postmodern scene.
