Black Mask no. 10
New York: Black Mask, 1968. Offset-printed tabloid, folded, b&w illus. Tenth and final issue of the eponymous journal from anarcho-Dadaist New York City art collective Black Mask, founded in 1966 by Dan Georgakas (1938-2021) and Ben Morea (1941-2026). Black Maskwas published more or less bi-monthly, putting out ten issues before the group folded its tent poles in order to resurrect itself as the more politically-oriented bi-coastal network, Up Against the Wall Motherfuckers (or often just "the Motherfuckers").
This issue contains a piece on Berlin Dada from London members David and Stuart Wise, "From Revolt to Revolution" by Ben Morea (which ends on the line he would then take for their next iteration: UP AGAINST THE WALL MOTHER FUCKER!"), "Revolution as Being" by Janice Morea, "The Theory of Synthesis and the Synthesis of Theory" by Abbie Hoffman, and correspondence from Orleans Parish Prison by H. Rap Brown. Very Good. Mild soiling and edgewear, horizontal and vertical creases from previous quarter-folding. Item #3985
