We have just completed a new art publication called "The Act",
a journal of performance art. (Performance art is code for
experimental theater, visual art theater, theater of other
cultures - human activity in general...) The coverage is
international of critique, speculation, and representation
of performance activity - no reviews - and is produced by
working artists - it's eclectic, smart, and looks good.
This first issue of 16 authors/artists include: Allan Kaprow
('father of happenings'), Sylvere Lotringer (general editor of
"Semiotexte"), and Jerome Rothenberg (poet, anthropologist).
We are looking for the names of 'good' bookstores, i.e. ones
that would carry art journals and have a clientel interested
in the arts. This could include museums and 'alternative spaces'.
We are also interested in distributors who specialize the arts
(we have Bernhard Deboer Inc, supposedly 'the best', doing a test
distribution in NYC only).
We will contact the bookstores, send them a copy, and go from there...
if only you could send us names.
We have Manhattan, Paris, San Francisco and Berkeley covered.
This is what we need:
Chicago
Los Angeles
San Diego
Atlanta
Houston
Iowa City
Cincinnati
Portland
Seattle
Mexico City
Tokyo & Japan
The Midwest
The South
London/Great Britain
Italy
France (excluding Paris)
West Germany
South America
Russia
Poland
Eastern Bloc
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
