The Happy Hypocrite is a biannual journal focusing on experimental writing. Informed by a lineage of such modern avant-garde magazines as Bananas, Documents, The Fox, Merlin and Tracks, The Happy Hypocrite aspires to unpack the methodology of such key journals while providing a new approach to art writing. It provides a testing ground for new writing and research-based projects, acting as a place for artists, writers and theorists to express experimental ideas that might not otherwise be realized or published.
In this issue, bodies of new writing present techniques of collage, found text and image interspersed with appropriated writing. Contributors include ArtstrA/Barbara Reise Archives, Steve Beard, Susanne Clausen, Marie Darrieussecq, Brian Dillon, Andrew Dodds, Thomas Hirschhorn, Gabriel Lester, Jo Melvin, Rashanna Rashied-Walker, Lisa Robertson, Andrew Shelley, Nick Thurston and Lynne Tillman.
