[Many Thanks to all who responded for USA & England]
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, or near a center where "avant-garde" artists live/work.
Other than independent bookstores sites might 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 or distributors, send them a copy,
and go from there... if only you could send us names and addresses.
At this time we need:
Israel
Italy (Florence, Venice, Rome,...)
Germany (Berlin, Freiburg,...)
Switzerland
Spain
Belgium
Norway
Denmark (Amsterdam,...)
Australia
Czechoslovakia - if possible
Poland - if possible
Ussr - if possible
Mexico (?)
Nicaragua (?)
African Continent
India
Japan
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
