Tools of Mind is a small anthology, edited by Matt Marble and
published by FO A RM magazine specifically for the Usufruct exhbition.
The contents of the anthology, as with that of the exhibit, are based in the
general theme of 'usufruct'. The book differs only in its emphasis of the mind
as a creative tool for recombining ideas to alter our perception and/or action
within the world. Intertwining performance scores from international artists
with mind-models from diverse fields of thought, the book offers itself as a
mosaic of perspectives and a tool of intuition.

FO A RM Magazine is a multi-media forum for discourse and creativity in art and
culture. We encourage cross-genre methods and investigative projects, with
a special focus on sound-art, experimental poetics and social sculpture.
Each issue clusters around a given topic, gathering together a variety of
perspectives, methods and articulations - from the extravagant to the
pedestrian (and the juncture between).
FO(A)RM no. 5 (autonomy)156 pp., 7 x 9", perfect-bound, full-color cover, $15(with exclusive CD)We are very excited to present FO A RM no. 5, a special sound-art issue with an
exclusive full-length CD complimenting the writings. (Autonomy) is an
examination of sound and freedom, a look at how artists and audiences
take responsibility for their place in the world. Topic editor and composer
Michael J. Schumacher asks - "How can we 'save' ourselves from the
undermining forces of commercialization and homogenization by 'using' the
system in place, but returning as little as possible to it?" From a variety of
perspectives along the fringes, we probe this question and raise many
others.
Including a special section on the great Filipino composer Jose Maceda, with
rare writings and scores - an in-depth interview with Serbian radio artist
Arsenije Jovanovic - writings by sound artists Giancarlo Toniutti, Francisco
Lopez, Achim Wollscheid and John Duncan - notes on improvisation by
Michael Bullock - a probe into musical autonomy in the armed forces -
writings on a sound installation by physicist Luis Lopez with composer
Barbara Held - a profile of Diapason sound gallery (NYC) - a poetic essay
by musique concrete composer Lionel Marchetti - the early scores of
Robert Ashley examined by avant-garde cellist Alex Waterman -
experimental poetry by Paolo Javier, Steven Zultanski and Travis Nichols -
art by Jan Anderzen (of Kemialliset Ystävät) and Sreshta Premnath - and
much more!
Plus, in collaboration with Sedimental Records, an amazing 80-minute CD with
music by Jonas Baes, Barbara Held, Arsenije Jovanovic, Jose Maceda and
Michael J. Schumacher!
Editors: Seth Nehil, Matt Marble, Bethany Wright, and Joseph Bradshaw
