The Happy Hypocrite is a biannual journal led by artists’ writings. Informed by a lineage of modern experimental and avant-garde magazines, such as: Bananas, Documents, The Fox, Merlin and Tracks, this journal aspires to unpack the methodology of such key journals, whilst providing a brand new approach to art writing. It will provide a greatly needed testing ground for new writing and research-based projects, somewhere for artists, writers and theorists to express experimental ideas that might not otherwise be realised or published.

In this issue new writing, text and images, a blackboard, an interview, surveillance photographs, heroes, and a blasted copy of the Canadian Indian Act of 1867.


[The Happy Hypocrite]は、アーティストの執筆が主導で2年に一度発行される刊行物。Bananas, Documents, The Fox, Merlin and Tracksのようなモダンな実験的・アバンギャルドな雑誌の系統で知られており、芸術的な著作における新しいアプローチを展開する一方で、このようなキーとなる雑誌の方法論を紐解くことをのぞむ。新たな著作やリサーチをベースとするプロジェクト、アーティスト・作家・思想家が実態化や出版には結びつきにくいような実験的なアイディアを表現する試験場のような場をおおいに必要とするが、本書はそれを適えるような環境を呈する。

この問題においては、新たな著作、テキストやイメージ、黒板、インタビュー、監視的な写真、ヒーロー、1867年の[the Canadian Indian Act]のしけたコピーである。
