We are delighted to announce that issue 9 is guest edited by Hannah Sawtell.

#ACCUMULATOR_PLUS will be published by Book Works in September 2016 and broadcast online as a radio show. The Happy Hypocrite is now looking for submissions for this forthcoming issue.

This new issues asks how sound and writing interact, and how, in keeping with Sawtell’s own work, we might relate sound to text, and text to sound.

Sawtell offers up a stream of her hashtags, to invite a repsonse, a call for submissions for this forthcoming issue, in the form of new writing or sounds that respond to the hashtags below.

#ACCUMULATOR_PLUS will be the first Happy Hypocrite to accept sound submissions for translation into image/text by Hannah Sawtell and/or to be played as part of a live broadcast that will complete the editorial process.

#ACCUMULATOR_PLUS sees Sawtell welcoming new contributors into her practice, where the artwork is often circulated in different versions that span multiple platforms simultaneously. It follows the publication of concrete texts in the broadsheet editions and online performance presented in the context of HANNAH SAWTELL: ACCUMULATOR (New Museum, New York, 2014). Examples include: SAWBAUM, a free-to-use online collaging application developed in 2014 by the artist and programmer Avi Flombaum as part of Rhizome’s 7X7 series (2014); REPETITIONER, – Broadsheet Number 4 (Foundling Court, 2013) where Sawtell asked writers, musicians and artists to respond to the theme of ‘repetitionism’, and to jointly shape content within the time frame of daily news print production; the production of broadsheet inserts printed and distributed with Business Week magazine during Sawtell’s solo show OSCULATOR (ICA, 2012); and MAYDAY: THE BOOTH – a live radio broadcast for The Island on ARTonAIR.org which was presented during ‘lunch-hour’ on 1 May 2012 from the Clocktower Gallery in Downtown Manhattan. MAYDAY: THE BOOTH was created from recordings, collaborations and contributions from workers who responded aurally to the idea of ‘May Day’ (International Worker’s Day) and what it means to them today. It was broadcast live against the backdrop of immigration law demonstrations in the U.S. and the May Day/Occupy solidarity rally at Union Square, Manhattan.
