“Utilizing a myriad of styles and mediums, artists and writers draw us into a Dada world, the world we are living in, like nothing else . . . . it will blow your mind.” —Home Planet News

Dada never died. And Maintenant 21: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art proves this with a highly-curated selection of 250 contributors from around the world who explore the intersection of power, war, technology, and politics with outrageous, rebellious, provocative art, collage, cut-up, vispo, sculpture, word play and more, in a sought-after annual journal.

The Maintenant series, established in 2008, explores themes of politics, humanity, philosophy, and current concerns from an antiwar, anarchic (and often eye-opening) perspective. Past issues include work by artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Joel Hubaut, Heide Hatry, Avelino de Araujo, Pawel Kuczynski, Inas Al-Soqi, Giovanni Fontana, Nicole Eisenmann, Syporca Whandal, and Kazunori Murakami; past writers have included Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Andrei Codrescu, Harry E. Northup, Malik Crumpler, Maw Shein Win, and more, with a strong contingent of artist-writers from the world of punk rock, including Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hansen and more.

As the Seattle Book Review raves, “It’s quite a smorgasbord for those who are sick and tired of it.”
