Gass as featured writer (others TBA), will celebrate contemporary aesthetic practice in its most inventive forms: writing, visual, and multimedia art that is aware of its own institutional and extra-institutional history, that is as much about its form and materials-about language-as about subject matter. &NOW will bring together a range of writers and artists interested in exploring the possibilities of form and the limits of expression; writers and artists working to emphasize text as a medium and as an influence. If traditional, mainstream art and literature are the equivalents of 19th Century still-life, innovative production might be the text scrawled on genetically engineered cells--works more interested in producing fantastic machines of art, rather than creating transparent windows to a world that no longer exists. By bringing together innovative writers and artists, &NOW will take stock of the "other" tradition-and perhaps offer a glimpse of where it is going.
