On 27 November 1960 Yves Klein published his one day only newpaper Dimanche - Le Journal d'un Seul Jour, on the cover of which was his famous The Leap into the Void. A work of montage, of conceptual art, a political statement and an artistic intervention into the everyday, Klein’s Dimanche was indicative of many strands of art that have since come to dominance. Taking and breaking Klein’s artist’s publication, Broken Dimanche Press is interested in continuing the practice of artists editing newspapers, writers drawing out their visions and editors falling flat on their faces.
Broken Dimanche Press is a non-profit publisher of fiction, poetry and politics. Growing out of the contemporary art initiative Parking Meter Press, Broken Dimanche has a European wide focus on considered experimental fiction and poetry and challenging political journalism. Every Broken Dimanche book is a special object in which visual artists and writers meet to create unique ekphrastic collaborations. Careful editorial preferences and a commitment to design prevail, as does a belief in translated works and the re-discovery of out of print works, all leading to a singular approach to navigating the debates and darker corners of contemporary European culture and thought.
Broken Dimanche Press is interested in what is going on in today's Europe, who is challenging conventions and investigating our shared contemporary. We see ourselves working across borders and in the future wish to translate writers and thinkers into other European languages than those they write in.
We have just launched The Kakofonie 002 in cities across Europe. Our next book is due October 2010.
We are interested in hearing from anyone who feels committed to experimental fiction and poetry, challenging political journalism, translation and philosophy in terms of book length ideas.
