Focusing on the relationship between the photographic arts and writing at a time when each medium is in flux, As Yet Untitled: Artists and Writers in Collaboration was an experimental proposition for an exhibition at San Francisco Camerawork (January 6 April 16, 2011) as well as an accompanying catalogue. What happens when photographers and writers are brought together and asked to collaborate? One can only imagine, hence the project's title. Artists and writers whose diverse practices intersected through shared concerns with photography and writing were invited to participate by producing projects that explore these mediums as they experience a similar push toward the use of new technologies. The collaborators who agreed to participate provided a series of responses to the investigation of a photographic and written union.

Semiotext(e) is pleased to announce Issue 2 of its occasional intellectual journal Animal Shelter, edited by Hedi El Kholti. Fleeting, ephemeral, nondigital, and nonhierarchical, Animal Shelter is, as Alex Gartenfeld wrote in Interview, "a loose collection of texts, sequenced like a mixtape"-focused yet eclectic. Gathered around a long conversation with philosopher Paul Virilio on "The Littoral as Final Frontier," conducted on the first day of the "flash crack" collapse of the European markets, issue 2 features fiction, artwork, poetry, conversations, and essays which orbit desublimation, digression, negative monument, catastrophe, shadows, horror, sexiness . . . Moyra Davey on writer's block, Walter Benjamin, and Jane Bowles. Bruce Hainley channels Paloma Picasso to jot some notes on Margie Schnibbe and the "explicit." Bifo on Stanley Kubrick's Eyes's Wide Shut, and the relation between irony and cynicism  an. An interview with Paul Virilio on seascape, inertia, and the Zynthia cyclone  . Chris Kraus and Sylvère Lotringer on George Porcari's ambient photography  . Shlomo Sand and Sylvère Lotringer on contemporary Israel, myth, and the invention of Zionism. Alistair McCartney on early 90s bohemia in Hyde Park, Perth, Australia. Dodie Bellamy on queer subculture and the "Goldilocks syndrome." Veronica Gonzalez's short story on friendship, loss, and Los Angeles  . Rachel Kushner's short story that takes up pubescence, motorcycles, and Flaubert's lewd correspondence from the Nile. A rare short story by Eileen Myles on Winston Leyland's legendary 70s tabloid, Gay Sunshine. Other contributors include: Robert Dewhurst, Ben Ehrenreich, Matt Fishbeck, Paul Gellman, Slava Mogutin, Jed Ochmanek, John Pluecker, Michael Rashkow, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Sarah Wang, and others.
