spread is new underground art+literature
Dedicated to the fiercely few independent interdisciplinary authors and artists around the world who seek a more openly renegade and inclusively experimental platform to freely contribute their current efforts and explorations in underground exploratory art and literature in the new medium. We welcome all manner of works and in-the-works— no matter if prominent or emergent, raw or rare, revered or reviled— including and most especially those that attempt to extend the frontiers of method and content: New visions and new voices that engender new dimensions of thought, sense, and transcendence. Founded on July 21, 2000, This, Man, Is, Spread.

About Spread

The navel is the center of the universe. [Est: July 21, 2000 /] [Founder-in-Memoriam: Titus Toledo /] [Editor-in-Chief: Rosendo M Makabali /] [Managing Editor: Papa Osmubal /] [Vision/Mission/Hallucination: “This site is a gesture dedicated to the free creation, propagation, and dissemination of new underground exploratory art & literature. This site is an attempt– sustained by the promise of new technologies and summoned by the premise that art, or perhaps more aptly, the grave and grand gasp and grasp of the humanities must cease not to pick, to pry, to probe, to plough down the fences– to provide a free clearinghouse for artists, artisans, authors, and auteurs of whatever merit, method, or manner who boldly share the same boundless verve and verb for experimentation, exploration, and innovation, in seeking to extend the frontiers of form, function, and content, in order to establish or cause to establish a parallel portal or a platform, if you will, where one might, through one's work, be free to engender one's truth, engage and empower intellect and intuition: to turn on, tune in, spread out. Foma, foma, foma. Here & now, we have chosen to name this gesture and attempt: spread.” /] [Copyright © 2018 Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
