Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:03:03 -0400

Dear fine chaps and chapettes,

I would like to propose a toast, a toast to our good posture.

To celebrate the release of the sixth issue of Posture Publication, The Jaunt Issue, let’s get together for a toast at, say, 6:30 on the evening of Thursday the 16th of June at Mighty Mighty.
This will also be a chance to wish Posture Publication luck when it heads overseas in July. And of course, please do extend this invitation to any folks who you think may like to join us for this small and rather relaxed affair.

I very much look forward to seeing all you fine folk there.

The sixth invitation.

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 21:17:00 -0400

This is a call for submissions for the sixth issue of Posture Publication, The Jaunt Issue.

Once a tiring or troublesome journey, a jaunt is now more often considered to be an excursion, a pleasure trip of sorts. Then there’s Stephen King’s Jaunt; a teleportation device whose trip takes no more than a mere tardis-esque instant.

” ‘It’s eternity in there,’ he said, and dropped dead of what was later diagnosed as a massive heart attack.

The scientists foregathered there were left with his corpse […] and that strange and awful dying declaration: It’s eternity in there.”

Of course, not wanting to restrict jaunt to either noun or verb, consider those folk we deem to be sprightly; elegant; smart; and even debonair. For those folk confident use may be made of the adjective, possibly even referring to them as delightfully jaunty, if one felt so inclined.

Posture invites you to draw, write, postulate, critique, review, scrawl, photograph, cut, and erase. Document your posture as you jaunt through space and its time.

Lets go for a trip, a romp, a frolic, or perhaps a quick nip there and back. For Carune, King’s inventor of the Jaunt, “it started with a pencil… some keys… a wristwatch… then some mice.” So, pencils, rulers, and index fingers at the ready. Big toes too —for balance. It’s time to go. This is the Jaunt issue.

Rules for good posture:

Submissions must be in greyscale.
Minimum word count of two, maximum of eight hundred.
Maximum of one A4 landscape spread. There is no minimum.
Submitted work must be new. It may be a reinvestigation or continuation of past works, but to submit work that has already been done does not promote self-critique or challenge, merely editorial. It’s what we haven’t done yet that makes for good posture.
Submissions for consideration must be received by the close of Tuesday the 31st of May, 2011.

The small print:

This is an experiment; continued.
Collaborations and multiple submissions are accepted.
Please ensure submissions are in either .pdf or an editable digital format, allow for an outer margin of 5mm, and that all images are 300dpi.
In light of the self-funded nature of this experiment, page numbers and run size will be limited. Depending upon the number of submissions received it may not be possible to accommodate all.

The fifth toast.

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:02:35 -0500

Good news.
The fifth issue of Posture is almost complete. To celebrate its release let’s get together for a toast to our good posture. Say, 6.45 on the evening of Tuesday, March 15th at Havana Bar.
As always, I look forward to seeing you there.

Another Update.

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:58:46 -0500

In light of an upcoming change in postal code and after much consideration, it has been decided that this year of Posture will be comprised of three issues.

This will see the invitation to the sixth issue being delivered on May 1st rather than the 31st of March [we just couldn’t bring ourselves to send it out on April 1st and have it confused for a fooling], and the seventh on September 1st.

All going well we’ll be back to four issues in 2012.

Issue Update.

Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:43:58 -0500

This is an issue update:

Issue 5 is currently undergoing final touches before printing.

It should be ready for release in the next week or so. As per tradition, we’ll celebrate the new issue in a relaxed fashion with a toast. Details of this will be posted quite soon.

Extension.

Sun, 30 Jan 2011 23:57:52 -0500

The deadline for submissions to the fifth issue of Posture Publication has been extended by two weeks, to Tuesday the 15th of February.

I sure hope this suits.

It may even tickle some of you pink.

The fifth invitation.

This is a call for submissions.

The Colour Issue.

Colour plays. Whether subtracted or added, it reflects and scatters over surfaces, and bends through solids. It absorbs into our subconscious as we slow for the Stop sign and sniff out the Golden Arches.

Colour has been discussed as both an exact science and as a sensation or a perception. When Isaac Newton observed light passing through a prism in 1666 he found it “the most surprising and wonderful Composition … of Whiteness”. So, it seems only fitting that all submissions should be in greyscale; concealing their colour, yet revealing their properties.

Posture invites you to draw, write, postulate, critique, review, scrawl, photograph, cut, and erase.

Colour our pages with your shades of grey.

Anything goes.

So long as it has good posture.

As we turn one year old tomorrow, I can say with great certainty and delight that we’re very much looking forward to the year to come.

Here’s a thanks to all of you that have supported, talked about, and been involved in posture publication this past year.

And here’s to another of the same, plus more.

Cheers.

posture publication just got a little bit fancier.

You might have noticed when you travelled to posturepublication.tumblr.com you were wonderfully redirected to the slightly cleaner posturepublication.com

If you didn’t; quick, look…

Now, isn’t that fancy.

Ready.

The latest issue of posture publication is printed, packaged, and ready for release at tomorrow’s toast.

Join us as we, in a small and rather relaxed fashion, toast to our good posture and celebrate the publication of the fourth issue of posture.

The fourth quarter of the first whole.

This is a call for submissions.

The liar’s paradox; and the excluded middle.

‘This sentence is false.’

If the above is true, then what it says must be the case. Hence it is false. On the other hand, suppose it to be false, and that it is just what it says, so it is true. In either instance — an instance in which it would abide by the law of excluded middle where either a first possibility, or its negation must be true — it is both true and false; a paradox.

Reject common truth and falsity along with their binary encumberments. Embracing instead their contradiction. Run in circles, chasing the tails of possibilities. Tug on paradox while tussling with a strengthened liar. Grasp at reality and gasp at its negation.

This invitation is for you, the liars and the honest, to partake in the fourth quarter of the first whole.

Anything goes. So long as it has good posture.
