Any ‘core of
five or so’ people—some of them with jobs, some of them selling
paintings, like Asger Jorn—can produce a wonderful review like
Internationale situationniste. There is no mystery. A review with
no office, no staff—where all the work, typing, lay-out, proofreading, is made by the unpaid collaborators, and which appears at
intervals from six months to one year, is not that expensive. And if
the ‘core of five’ involved do not spend the little money that they have on other things, like the ones on which some other people put
their dreams, nice clothes, cars, sunny holidays, hi-fi chains… if they joyfully accept to be, most of the time, rather broke, there is no
problem. So if any group of five to ten people do not produce a
review like Internationale situationniste, it is not the funds which
are lacking; it must be something else.
