Chiasmus Press : a WHAT IF adventure.
if literature could rise from its own pop-culture, market-driven ashes and remake itself as a comment against the state, rather than a commodity in the service of the market and good citizenship, what would it look like?
if small cells of writers, artists, and activists continue to create underground conversations, pacts, works of art without the permission of the socius, can we perhaps puncture its sticky thick sugary membrane now and again?
Chiasmus press. chiasma productions.
Books requiring a brain. films without the popcorn and coke. And everything in between.
In conjunction with Chiasmus Press, Chiasma Productions was founded by writer and filmmaker, Andy Mingo as a cross over (or chiasma) between contemporary literature and its visual representation. Ultimately, Chiasma is an independent film company intent on realizing the false membrane between fiction, the page, technology, image production, and the moving image. We are currently in pre-production for a feature-length film, The Iconographer. Shooting will begin Summer 2007.
All Chiasmus Press books are distributed by SPD . Stores: see the "booksellers" link on the top right hand corner of the SPD page for discounts on multiple copies.
