Salt Magazine: The Furies
Within our summer program that is based around James Joice's Ulysses and hosts a number of institutions, presses and zines, we open the door of the gallery for a number of events.
SALT. Magazine
The Furies
Readings and video by Rhoda Boateng, Hannah Regel, Jala Wahid, Erin Eck, and Stacy Skolnik.
Please join us for an evening of readings and film screenings centred around the most recent issue, released in February 2017, themed the Furies. The Furies are femme spirits of justice and vengeance. The sisters are monstrous, foul-smelling hags, with bats' wings, coal-black skin, and hair entwined with serpents. Although the Furies seem terrifying and vengeance seeking, they should not be stigmatised for their evil. On the contrary, they represent justice and defend order. Their names are Endless, Punishment and Jealous Rage. This issue of SALT. comments on the structures in place which forbid the urge to relish or luxuriate in one’s own defilement, and re-claim a space for the joyously monstrous.Mathew NYC 47 Canal St, #2 (RING BUZZER), New York, NY 10002

The Interjection Calendar:
The Disposable Journal - Write it out and let it go
Readings and performances by Emily Pope and Liv Fontaine.
We've been thinking about a lack of disposable income, and an excess of disposable writing which is utilised to impose the personal. You can buy a disposable journal if you google it - it is, apparently, portable. You can complete a writing session anywhere at any time. It is insightful - it helps you make sense of your troubles and regain control. When you’re done, you can shred it, burn it, bury it … the choice is yours.Mathew NYC 47 Canal St, #2 (RING BUZZER), New York, NY 10002

Montez Summer Program at Mathew NYC
Following the June Ulysses course held at Mathew by the Brooklyn Institute of Social Research, Montez will base this year's summer program around the theme of James Joyce's Ulysses.
We have invited a group of diverse artists and writers, each selected by an institution/press/zine with whom they are affiliated, to occupy Mathew, where they will interpret a provided section of Ulysses (of which there are 18) in their own chosen medium. Ulysses was itself an Irish reinterpretation of the Greek national epic The Odyssey, and we are following the Modernistic tradition of Joyce as we ask the following New York-based artists to 'translate' the text once more, for our contemporary cultural moment.
This year's participants are: Adjua Greaves / Wendy's Subway Vei Darling / Powrplnt Whitney Claflin / Topical Cream Harry Burke and Rin Johnson / Pfeil Magazine Alison Bedell / Badlands Unlimited Yoma Ru and Cooper Larsen / 8 Ball Community Anaïs Duplan / Brooklyn Arts Press Shaira Chaer / The Bettys Erin Sweeny / Small Editions Debora Balardini and Giovanna Almeida / Nettles Artists Collective Niina Pollari / Birds LLC James Loop / The Interjection Calendar Georgette Maniatis / A Women's Thing Saretta Morgan and Kiran Puri / Belladonna Molly Hagan / Ginger Magazine Mylo Mendez / We're Hir We're Queer Brandon Johnson / Zing Magazine Candice Iloh / No, Dear Magazine -

PFEIL Magazine #6 Release Party
Dedicated to the specific theme of each issue, Pfeil Magazine oscillates between book, collection, and object. The key word of each theme adds to an indexical collection of word-objects as objects of obsession. Through this process, each word’s meaning is expanded, eroded, overused, misused, and ultimately enjoyed. Printed in the wide landscape format of 25.9 × 33.8 cm, the magazine offers each contributor the freedom of ten pages. To celebrate the ‘Extra’ themed 6th issue of Pfeil Magazine, Pfeil will be hosting a dumpling making event in which dumplings will be stuffed extra full. The contributing artists of the issue are: Harry Burke, Isolée, Sarah Księska, Nicole Ondre, Fion Pellacini, Dan Rees, Amanda Ross-Ho and Villa Design Group.

Montez Press at Mathew NYC: Fence Books
Founded in 1998 by Rebecca Wolff, Fence is a biannual journal of poetry, fiction, art, and criticism that has a mission to redefine the terms of accessibility by publishing challenging writing distinguished by idiosyncrasy and intelligence rather than by allegiance with camps, schools, or cliques. It is Fence’s mission to encourage writing that might otherwise have difficulty being recognized because it doesn’t answer to either the mainstream or to recognizable modes of experimentation. Fence is long-term committed to publishing from the outside and the inside of established communities of writing, seeking always to interrogate, collaborate with, and bedevil other systems that bring new writing to light. Launched in 2001, Fence Books publishes poetry, fiction, and critical texts and anthologies, and prioritizes sustained support for its authors, many of whom come to us through our book contests and then go on to publish second, third, fourth books. Representing Fence Books is Harmony Holiday; a poet, dancer and sound artist. She runs an archive of jazz poetics and teaches creative writing at Otis College. She has published two volumes of poetry with a third as well as her first LP coming out this fall. Accompanying her first book and LP, Harmony will be creating an afro-ballet (i.e. a series of dance pieces to accompany said book), in the tradition of choreographers like Bill T. Jones and Alonzo King. Loosely themed around the film and music from the film Ganja and Hess by Bill Gunn. In addition, Harmony plans to compose a separate book or liner notes poems and essays and sound pieces for the choreography as well as video documentation of her performance. Join Harmony on the 25th for an evening celebrating Amiri Baraka’s sound. First 50 attendees will receive a free copy of S O S: Poems 1961–2013, an anthology of Baraka’s poetry.

Kaf curates work that moves ‘toward and away from text’, work that interacts with body, image & sound, work that places value on the space between words, letters, genres, discourses, languages. Kaf is an inquiry into the very possibility of itself, as well as a sustained meditation on the political, geographic and cultural borders that obscure this possibility. As part of Kaf’s installation based on the ongoing project called ‘Index of New Words’ indexindexindex.com, which engages with generating new words, hybrid languages and meditates on the death of words and languages, visit MATHEW NYC for a set of readings and performances by poets and artists Miriam Atkin, Tom Haviv, Kurt Ralske, Owen Roberts, Rami Karim, and others.

Montez Press at Mathew NYC: Hanging Loose Press
The first issue of Hanging Loose magazine was published in 1966. The name was inspired by the format – mimeographed loose pages in a cover envelope – and that, in turn, was inspired by a very low budget. But the format was also meant to get across a point of view: that poetry is for now, not for the Ages. If you liked a poem, you could pin it to the wall. If you didn’t like a poem, you could use it as a napkin. Hanging Loose has published some 220 books and 106 issues – well over 10,000 pages of poetry, prose, and art – of Hanging Loose magazine. Join us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hanging Loose Press, with readings by Jack Anderson, Kiyomi Dong, Bill Christophersen, and Stacy Skolnik.

Montez Press at Mathew NYC: The Interjection Calendar
The Interjection Calendar is on and offline. It is devised and hosted by Montez Press. Each month an artist or writer is commissioned to produce a new piece of work for release on www.montezpress.com interjection. The PDF can be downloaded for free and there are 12 releases per year, in line with the Gregorian calendar. At the end of each year, Montez initiates a transference back to bound material: this act tethers the precarious nature of the cloud and virtual existences to the concrete object, creating conversation and relationships between individual works, between the book and the download. The bound publication intersects the digital medium, as the digital and physical do not act freely from one another but are, rather, in a constant tug of war for our undivided attention. What is released in the high speed of fiber optics, is later pinned forcefully down on the page. We invite you to join us for an evening of readings by various Interjections Calendar contributors, and to enjoy an installation by artist-in-residence Alex Margo Arden who will be investigating the relationship between writing and smell production, and the difficulty of capturing a scent-work and subsequently reproducing it in print or online.

SALT. Issue 7 (Heterophobia): Launch at South London Gallery
Montez invites you to the Launch of the latest issue of SALT. Issue 7: Heterophobia at the South London Gallery on the 7th of October at 6:30 pm with performances and screenings from from Aliza Shvartz, Rosie Reynolds, Hatty Nestor, James Sturkey, Daniella Vg and Rose Goddard. Salt Magazine announces the release of their 7th Issue-Heterophobia guest edited by Villa Design Group. Against the currency of the ‘post-identarian’, Heterophobia explores the productive possibilities of the phobic, the suspicious, and the negative as responses to the increasing culture of the visible in which the queer functions in the present. Following in lead of the political right’s recent call to protect their phobia as basic freedom, heterophobia explores the ways in which a fearful response to heteronormative structures and ideals often in the name of equality, might provoke new chains of affect and desire which might restructure the very processes by which fear and or love is named.

ON THE ROCKS & The Interjection Calendar Hamburg Release at ‘Central Congress’
Montez Press’ most recent publication is ‘On The Rocks’ by Gjergji Shkurti, a collection of short stories, set inside the tectonic grid of New York City, with drawings by LINETYPE. ‘On The Rocks’ is uncompromising in its aggressive structure and dead serious humour, it is an amalgamation of stunt man action films, coded love stories, artistic destructions and architectural investigations. These narratives are set against drawings that corroborate, question, diffuse and expand the text rather than simply depict or explain it. The drawings and text collide to push each other into a territory where architecture and fiction are simultaneous, creating a rich and textured inquiry into capitalist New York taken to its outer extreme. Furthermore we will welcome the newest piece in Montez Press’ ongoing Interjection Calendar edition: ‘Lovely Little Hostages’ by AM Bang: the work juxtaposes sound, language and imagery across the Japanese landscape. The results are narratives constructed out of the paradox and pleasure that one encountered when traveling through unfamiliar physical and psychological terrain.
