Second Edition of 100 copies. Book and download code for the album Spoilt Health. Triple Negative interview Not obvious from any of the 3 front covers, but yes this is a Triple Negative product. T.R.S. is the eminence grease, the actual persons irresponsible. Before anyone else gets blamed: almost all writing/drawing is by Clinical Wastemn [“Matthew Hyland”], except for the best piece of writing (Down With Childhood & Adulthood, mostly by Mme Tlank [“Anja Büchele”]) and Best Picture (I IS FOR [YOU ARE NOT] IMPOTANT, by Adam Vass). Denis Velimirovich is right there from start to finish but blamelessly so. See back cover for group portraits [L-R Velimirovich, Tlank, Wastemn in both]. [2 weeks + 2.5 punitive migraines later] So —— the product is a compendium of bad bad grace/gratuitous disgrace, 1997-2022. Written 1998-2016; pictures made 2016-more or less now, apart from photocopied stickers/zine pages etc, which go back to 1997 (e.g. introuvable front/back covers of The Journal of Childish Psychology [*co-ed Naomi Rousseau, praised by the Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv in a letter stating: only you have illness in your doing]). Other Zeichnungen are all accidence (i.e. opposite of Cagey “chance”). Media are colour pencil, ink, photocopiers, collage. More birds, sea, flowers and Tlank in them than you might think, along with usual utopian city ruins. All 2D going on 1. Even less clue what to write about written parts. Highlights of bathetic basso continuo? Full lyric sheet for Bad Emotional Investments (aggressive begging rebetiko on God Bless the Death Drive). 1998 thing about Artaud/Heaven’s Gate/workplace motivational psych [*1st pub. Semiotext(e) but handscrawled manuscript was so fucked the print version looked like they applied pre-millennial OCR]. Unpublished hommage to Aotearoa’s greatest living artist, Daniel S. Malone. Whole lot of B. Traven, Judge Schreber, Goya, Wm. Blake. Re-refutation of 1637 attempt by Massachusetts Bay Colony governor John Winthrop to refute Anne Hutchinson’s Antinomian heresies. Hymn of praise (described by Ben Watson as “craven”) to the late Robert Dellar/Ldn Mad Pride at large. 1 (one) actual love prose-poem, disguised by its 1st words being “T.J. Clark”, who is most definitely not the addressee. etc etc Whole text section is really just 20 years of trying & failing to write like the late Giovanni Intra [see, finally, www.semiotexte.com/pageee]. Some examples instead of more dysexplanation: Almost everything that befalls Schreber –- irritation by insects, violent headaches, fits of bellowing –- is attributed (with empirical evidence) to miraculous intervention. There’s no such thing as a single cause, there’s always something else behind it. – Nervousness, or Immorality [2004] ‘Non-verbal’ modes of communication are supposed to make life easier to understand and endure by breaking freight trains of language down into discrete, comfortable spaced signals. But each new ‘obstinate blockage’ is also a cryptic alarm. What can a smirk, an insistence, a flick of the wrist, be trusted not to mean other than endless conflicting demands and convolutions? If some people avoid being overwhelmed most of the time, that’s not because ‘non-linguistic’, ‘lateral’ thinking is tied to scientific progress, but because it plays to a bogus gallery of intuitions. – La vie pue, messieurs [1998] In him is the friend of bleeding. His boreholes are explicit and impressive. He would like to experience a Home Invasion And is almost afraid that I will commit that indiscretion. – Good Clean Dirt [2017] help mental illness to smoke and fume! an outpatient about town eyesore stomach and hide a hundred powers slumbering spoiled the carriageway for himself and others – Deforcement [2012] THERE’S NOTHING NOT SUPERFICIAL ABOUT IT! – Keys to the Street [2006]
