Though his poetry is less well known, that is where it all began. After writing poetry in the manner of Russian modernists, newly available to Soviet readers during Khrushchev’s thaw, Monastyrski’s interest in John Cage and ideas about consciousness from Western and Eastern philosophical traditions led him to deepen his dialogue with poetry of the past through experiments with sound, form, and the creation of artistic environments involving carefully conceived objects and situations. Elementary Poetry collects poems, books, and action objects from the ’70s, tracing a genealogy of the art action in poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eToday Monastyrski is considered a guru of the new Russian art in Moscow.

He is, along with Ilya Kabakov, one of the founders of conceptualism in Russia. He graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in philology and worked for many years at the Literature Museum in Moscow. In 1973, he began to work with serial structures and minimalist sound compositions and in 1975, turned his attention to poetic objects and actions. He is best known as a founding member and chief theoretician of the Collective Actions group, which began to stage outdoor actions on the edges of Moscow in 1976. He compiled many of the group’s documentary volumes, Trips Out of the City, and participated in many solo and group exhibitions with his own work. In 2003, Monastyrski was awarded the Andrei Bely Prize in literature. He also received the Soratnik Prize in 2008 and the Innovation Prize in 2009. His poetry and theoretical writings have been gathered into several Russian-language volumes by the publisher German Titov for his Library of Moscow Conceptualism series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eBRIAN DROITCOUR is a writer, translator, and curator, as well as a doctoral candidate in Comparative Literature at New York University.

There are testimonies, interviews, statements, theses and studies – as in all previous issues – but from now on, politics will outweigh form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, we publish two interviews with musicians discussing their experiences with organizing. Milena Solomun talks about her punk formation, which took place during a bloody civil war and alongside the destruction of socialism in Yugoslavia. Ben Watson and Jair-Rohm Parker Wells’ long discussion on Musical Dialectics is also about punk, precisely Punk Jazz and Free Improvisation, and the way musical decisions have wider political resonance, including clear-cut ideological demarcations. Their collective is called AMM All-Stars (from the Association of Musical Marxists).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaisa Lassinaro looks at a library collection of feminist and lesbian literature, and asks what it means to read these materials with explicit political and Marxist references?

The transcript of two interviews from Doruntina Kastrati’s film is a case in point. Kastrati’s film about workers who were seriously injured and, in some cases, died while working for a one euro hourly pay rate on the highway in Kosovo for the most powerful companies, can be understood through the laws of uneven and combined development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe long theoretical article by Rastko Močnik on the ideologies of contemporary art, that we are proud to publish here, especially addresses these forms. Močnik’s real target is the prevalence of reactionary and conservative ideas in contemporary art practices which, historically, were established by relativizing the revolutions of avant-garde art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing this, we initiate a rubric called ‘General Rhythm.’ By understanding form as a sedimented content, we propose a method of objective form that will enable us to discern the general rhythms of society beneath the cacophony of capitalist unevenness and contradiction. We apply this approach modestly to a few local examples in Finland (Mika Vainio exhibition, Sorbus gallery publication, Veijo Rönkkönen sculptures, Edvard Richter award) and are satisfied with the results. In the following issues, this will be developed into a full-scale research project in collaboration with theoreticians, activists, artists and curators from all around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a supplement to this issue, we are publishing the first English translation of Walter Benjamin’s text on Lenin, actually Benjamin’s review of Lenin’s letters to Maxim Gorky, originally from 1926.

Here, we’ve a panoply of photorealist intimations of Pasolini’s ‘poetic sense.’ The death of Marilyn Monroe crests as an idea in this tidal pooling of reflections, as the poet’s line lights out for conceptual rhymes and counterpoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Viti’s translation, the weave of prose and poetry that forms La rabbia portrays the vitality of Pasolini’s work in its capacity to speak to both the specifics of his contexts, the character of our own present tense, and the ironic fact of a life lived against the gulf of discontent in its myriad forms. Here, we’ve a startling confrontation of a revolutionary struggle in stasis set in lines that crystallise a rallying call against blindness. ‘I’ll not have peace, not ever,’ he writes. A lucid acceptance of the poet’s restlessness, and a marker for Pasolini’s commitment to a solidarity with the oppressed that we find reaffirmed on every page, in La rabbia the poet charts how ‘the powerful world of capital takes an abstract painting as its brash banner’ in this unravelling of ‘crisis in the world.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tenement Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43890528583910,"sku":"","price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_7247039.jpg?v=1694264219"},{"product_id":"prison-poetry-martyrdom-saida-menebhi-the-moroccan-years-of-lead","title":"PRISON, POETRY, MARTYRDOM: SAIDA MENEBHI \u0026 THE MOROCCAN YEARS OF LEAD","description":"\u003cp\u003e148 x 210mm, 76 pages, black and white printing, staple bound, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA selection of poems by the Moroccan Marxist, feminist and poet Saida Menebhi, who died in prison on hunger strike in 1977, aged 25, after being imprisoned for her political organising against the Moroccan state.
