As you all tweet & chirp & post about going to Wiscon, I allow myself the luxury of a single tear.  I will miss the con, and all of you, so very much. But as we will be traveling almost nonstop from June 4 onward through October(!), this was the one that had to give.  Have fun!

Meanwhile, if you're at wiscon  & would like to buy a copy of The Man with the ( Read more... )

Interested in Interstitial Arts? Want to do more to help cross genre & artistic borders in 2010?

Here's our Wish List.

What's yours?

Please comment over at the IAF Blog, so we can start a great discussion there!

I am a huge Rinde Eckert fan - to me, his work practically defines "interstitial," and his performance is always electrifying. We went tonight w/Chiara to see his "Orpheus X" at TFNA, where it's playing through Dec. 20th. I don't think Chiara moved a muscle for the entire 90 minutes. The moment Rinde appeared, opened his mouth & let out that ( Read more... )

Thank you, ktempest, for your wonderful post about the Auction:
The Interfictions Auctions Ends Today, Help us Raise $400 More Dollars

The Interstitial Arts Foundation's Shameless Commerce Division (well, OK, it all goes to support a non-profit dedicated to tearing down genre boundaries, but I couldn't resist), headed by Auction Guru ktempest Bradford, is making an offer you'd be mad to refuse:

1. Browse the images of art and jewelry we’re auctioning off and pick 1 - 3 favorites. Then ( Read more... )

As you may know, I'm a co-founder, currently serving as President, of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to the support, and promotion of interstitial art: literature, music, visual and performance art found in between categories and genres - art that crosses borders ( Read more... )

Each week they put a new story up on the Interfictions Annex. And each week I think, Aha, this one's my favorite!

Ron Pasquariello's "The Chipper Dialogues" is so short that if I quote you all my favorite passages, I'll have almost the whole thing up here! Suffice it to say that it's a conversation, in haiku, between a man & his beloved dog. ( Read more... )

I just made my (tax-deductible) contribution to Interfictions 2, the forthcoming original anthology from the IAF. They offered a space to make your donation "in honor of" or "in memory of," and I decided to make mine in honor of Terri Windling, for her great editorial & visionary contributions to interstitial fiction over the years - especially ( Read more... )

Bet you never thought you'd hear that, did you?

But the Interstitial Arts Foundation is trying to diagnose a problem we're having with donations on Click & Pledge. As you probably know, we're running a big "Crowdfund" drive to fund our next anthology, Interfictions 2. A fabulous person in Australia has been unable to make her donation online at ( Read more... )
