The Arts

- For Mark Bloch

The dream of John M. Bennett cutting out

lumpy orange rectangles is the dream of a

shoe ten sizes too large which is the dream

of a coffin filled with rotting fruit. The dream

of eating the fruit is a dream of a pencil stuck

between the blades of a scissors which is the

dream of a black electric fan droning in the

window at night.

headless form

in the dark of the form a nopal returns
in the soup of the form an arm returns
in the dandruff of the form a tongue returns
in the slot of the form a wind returns
in the shame of the form a poem returns
in the gore of the form a dust returns
in the owl of the form a breast returns
in the heart of the form an eye returns
in the ash of the form a lung returns
in the ink of the form a rain returns
in the beast of the form a shoe returns
in the skin of the form a cave returns
in the face of the form a son returns
in the egg of the form a stone returns
in the leg of the form a skull returns
in the thorn of the form a fruit returns
in the light of the form a knife returns

a floating gun spelled your face in the wake

a knotted gun spit and sank in the soup

a flowered gun closed its eye and slept

a misty gun named a bee and circled

a throated gun chewed the dice and understood

a mirror gun opened the fridge and coughed

a tower gun lay on the floor and swirled

a wooden gun splintered and burned in the attic

a liquid gun shaped your leg and ran

a written gun folded a shirt and belched

a paginated gun shit on a sheet flapping in wind

a boiled gun opened the door to shed its skin

a nasal gun was turning its knob and singing

a suit of gun plundered the closet full of ash

a tree of gun counted a bird in the sky

a frozen gun thought of an exploding glass of beer

a voice of gun crawled over the floor and

talked to the shoes under the bed

No spinsterlollypop for me!
Yes! We have no bananas
I got lusting palate
I always eat them...
There's the vibrator
Coy flappertoy! ...
A dozen cocktails, please!

"Appaling Heart"

City stir——wind on eardrum——
dancewind : herbstained——
flowerstained——silken——rustling——
tripping——swishing——frolicking——
courtesing——careening——brushing——
flowing——lying down——bending——
teasing——kissing : treearms——grass——
limbs——lips.
City stir on eardrum—— .
In night lonely
peers—— :
moon——riding !
pale——with beauty aghast——
too exalted to share !
in space blue——rides she away from mine chest——
illumined strangely——
appalling sister !
Herbstained——flowerstained——
shellscented——seafaring——
foresthunting——junglewise——
desert gazing——
rides heart from chest——
lashing with beauty——
afleet——
across chimney——
tinfoil river——
to meet——
another’s dark heart——
Bless mine feet !

The International Post-Dogmatist Group’s Office of the Postulator-General will also be holding a historic Canonization Ceremony for Master (Herr) Kurt Schwitters of Hanover at the opening!

WHAT TO SEND: We are asking you to make a collage in the spirit of Dada such as using chance operations or any other dada technique - send a Merz work - an object for the Ofrenda dedicted to one or more of the DADA artists – send an collage or assemblage homage in the style of one of the DADA artists - Keep it smallish – 14x11 inches or smaller. Ready to hang is best.

TERMS: There are: NO FEES, NO JURY, NO RETURNS! Your contribution WILL be exhibited and will become a part of the permanent collection of the IMCAC Archives for possible use in future exhibitions and/or publications.

DOCUMENTATION: Your contribution will be exhibited beginning with the opening November 4, 2016 and continue through January 2017. The works will be on permanent exhibit online on our 2016 inventory blog under “Dada Centennial” with a possible catalog produced.
