Description. "Aggressive Culture / RRR 7-inch EP." Double-size issue
of 84 pages handily marks the transition into the final phase of this
publication. The subtitle 'Aggressive Culture' was inspired by Mark
Pawson's designs for stickers for the 'Aggressive School of Cultural
Workers'. Clearly, the editor's time spent at the 1989 Festival of
Plagiarism in Glasgow, Scotland, had had its effect. Among other
things, it helped consolidate our interest in the Situationist
International, and this issue shows us trying on some of these
theories in our selections. Featured articles on Neoism (Al Ackerman,
Monty Cantsin) and National Endowment for the Arts funding
controversies (Stephen Perkins), signal a more activist, or at least
aggressive, cultural stance. Pieces on the Mail-art Network (Mark
Bloch), the burgeoning use of the Macintosh in art production
(William Bowles), and thoughts on cassette tapes (Walter Alter) look
at some of the methods of making culture that we were interested in.
Although generally speaking, the issue is heavy on text (not a bad
thing!), that doesn't stop Eric Heilmann, Piotr Szyhalski, and other
talented artists from contributing memorable images.

Contributors include. Eric Heilmann, Al Ackerman, Monty Cantsin
(Istvan Kantor), Mark Bloch, A. Manuel Kant, Amendant Hardiker,
William Bowles, Peter Stenshoel, Géza Perneczky, Theater of Sorts,
Ph. Billé, Bob Gregory, Piotr Szyhalski, Steve Perkins, Walter Alter,
Carol Stetser, Lloyd Dunn, Gareth Branwyn, Mark Pawson, Brian
Goldberg.

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine,
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in
time of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983,
is finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic
archive will be complete.
