A Wave of New Rage Thinking, 2007
Radical Read-In for Vienna

For our event at the Generali Foundation we will collaborate with archives, libraries and individuals in Vienna to bring together a collection of radical queer feminist thought to share for one night. Come out and bring your books, your latest one night stand with a novel you could not put down, the zine you made ten years ago or yesterday, the book that blew your political mind, the feminist poem that makes you chant and dream of the dark forest where the silver foxes hunt for young blood... or, the pamphlet you'd give to your queer daughter, the nasty passage stuck in your head, the image you cannot get over, or any text that changed your life. We'll have time to read-in and time to read-out, browsing, discovering and sharing.

LTTR is a feminist genderqueer artist collective with a flexible project oriented practice. LTTR produces an annual independent art journal, performance series, events, screenings and collaborations. The group was founded in 2001 with an inaugural issue titled “Lesbians to the Rescue,” followed by “Listen Translate Translate Record,” “Practice More Failure,” and most recently “Do You Wish to Direct me?” LTTR is dedicated to highlighting the work of radical communities whose goals are sustainable change, queer pleasure, and critical feminist productivity. It seeks to create and build a context for a culture of critical thinkers whose work not only speaks in dialogue with one another, but consistently challenges its own form by shifting shape and design to best respond to contemporary concerns.

LTTR 4 was funded by the Printed Matter Emerging Artist Publication Series, and was accompanied by an exhibition entitled “A Wave of New Rage Thinking.” In 2004 LTTR organized “The Explosion” at Art in General, a dynamic month-long series of events, collaborative projects and exhibitions that celebrated and sup-ported an international community of artists. LTTR projects have also been held at LACE in Los Angeles, The Kitchen, New York, and Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York. LTTR journals have been included in exhibitions at Cubitt Gallery, London, Space 1026, Philadelphia, and projet MOBILIVRE/BOOKMOBILE project. LTTR is Ulrike Mueller, Emily Roysdon, Ginger Brooks Takahashi, and K8 Hardy. Lanka Tattersall joined the team for issue 4.
