For example: 1) A mysterious group, known only as The Mascot Front, who wear furry mascot costumes at all times and are fighting a revolutionary war for their right to wear furry mascot costumes at all times. 2) A movement known as the \u0026lsquo;New Filmmaking\u0026rsquo; in which, instead of shooting and editing a film, one simply does all of the things that would have been in the film, but in real life. This movement has many adherents. Its founder is known only as Filmmaker A. 3) A group of \u0026lsquo;New Filmmakers\u0026rsquo;, calling themselves The Centre for Productive Compromise, who devise increasingly strange sexual scenarios with complete strangers. They invent a drug that allows them to intuit the cell phone number of anyone they see, allowing phone calls to be the first stage of their spontaneous, yet somehow carefully scripted seductions. 4) A secret society that concocts a sexually transmitted virus that infects only those on the political right. They stage large-scale orgies, creating unexpected intimacies and connections between individuals who are otherwise savagely opposed to each other. 5) A radical leftist who catches this virus, forcing her to question the depth of her considerable leftist credentials. 6) A German barber in New York who, out of scorn for the stupidity of his American clients, gives them avant-garde haircuts, unintentionally achieving acclaim among the bohemian set who consider his haircuts to be strange works of art. And yet each of these stories is only the beginning.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe novel is a stand along work that has no direct relation to any other artistic projects. However, thematically, it is Wren\u0026rsquo;s book that is somehow most related to his other artistic work. It is a book about artists and their relation to ethics, about the connections between art and daily life, and about the political and artistic implications of working and organizing collectively. It is really his book about art and artists, and also about sex and violence, which at moments seems to the author like precisely the same thing.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--[if gte mso

Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed\u003c/em\u003e is a novel - a kind of post-capitalist soap opera - about a group of people who regularly attend \u0026lsquo;the meetings.\u0026rsquo; At the meetings they have agreed to talk, and only talk, about how to re-ignite the left, for fear if they were to do more, if they were to actually engage in real acts of resistance or activism, they would be arrested, imprisoned, or worse. \u003cem\u003eRevenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed\u003c/em\u003e is a book about community. It is also a book about fear. Characters leave the meetings and we follow them out into their lives. The characters we see most frequently are the Doctor, the Writer and the Third Wheel. As the book progresses we see these characters, and others, disengage and re-engage with questions the meetings have brought into their lives. And throughout all of this the meetings continue: aimless, thoughtful, disturbing, trying to keep a feeling of hope and potential alive in what begin to look like increasingly dark times. \u003cem\u003eRevenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed\u003c/em\u003e asks us to think about why so many of us today, even those with a genuine interest in political questions, feel so deeply powerless to change and affect the world that surrounds us, suggesting that, even within such feelings of relative powerlessness, there can still be energizing surges of emancipation and action.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRevenge Fantasies of the Politically Dispossessed\u003c/em\u003e is a novel that relates to Jacob Wren\u0026rsquo;s art practice only in tangential and indirect ways.

The joke is that \u003cem\u003eFamilies Are Formed Through Copulation\u003c/em\u003e is a book designed to convince the reader not to have children (or if they already have children simply not to have any more). Why should the reader not have children? Well, first they should honestly try to assess just exactly how they feel about their own parents. If this proves insufficient perhaps they might also contemplate the fact that the world we live in isn\u0026#39;t particularly fit to bring a child into. \u003cem\u003eFamilies Are Formed Through Copulation\u003c/em\u003e is also a book that continuously hovers on the verge of becoming a novel, focusing on a distorted family situation that can certainly be read as that of a single family but just as easily can be seen as the multiple, overlapping experiences of many different families, perhaps even all families. This narrative ambiguity parallels the thematic moral ambiguity of the extreme situations the characters continuously find themselves within, never losing sight of the fact that our feelings towards our own families are some of the most personal and intense emotions we are capable of experiencing. Finally, and most ironically, \u003cem\u003eFamilies Are Formed Through Copulation\u003c/em\u003e describes what happens when one such family comes into contact with a particularly convincing and conflicted conspiracy theorist, sharply parsing the paranoia and media-saturated secret service logic of the times in which we live.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFamilies Are Formed Through Copulation\u003c/em\u003e is mainly as a novel, albeit a highly fragmented one.

It tells the story of the interdisciplinary performance group PME-ART and their ongoing endeavour to make a new kind of highly collaborative theatre dedicated to the fragile but essential act of \u0026ldquo;being yourself in a performance situation.\u0026rdquo; Written, among other things, to celebrate PME-ART\u0026rsquo;s twentieth anniversary, the book begins when Jacob Wren meets Sylvie Lachance and Richard Ducharme, moves from Toronto to Montreal to make just one project, but instead ends up spending the next twenty years creating an eccentric, often bilingual, art. It is a book about being unable to learn French yet nonetheless remaining Co-Artistic Director of a French-speaking performance group, about the Spinal Tap-like adventures of being continuously on tour, about the rewards and difficulties of intensive collaborations, about making performances that break the mold and confronting the repercussions of doing so. A book that aims to change the rules for how interdisciplinary performance can be written about today.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Jacob finished a first draft of the book he sent it to many of those who had co-created or worked on PME-ART projects asking for their comments. Therefore, the book also features contributions from: Caroline Dubois, Richard Ducharme, Claudia Fancello, Marie Claire Fort\u0026eacute;, Adam Kinner, Sylvie Lachance, Nadia Ross, Yves Sheriff, Kathrin Tiedemann and Ashlea Watkin.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://bookhugpress.ca/shop/books/authenticy-is-a-feeling-my-life-in-pme-art-by-jacob-wren/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","description":""},{"locale":"fr","description":""}]}]
