June Opportunities
It’s June at The Whole Utopianotes Catalog. As ever, an abundance of NEW opportunities and resources await you below. Here’s a benediction: May they support your gestures toward a world much larger, lovelier, and more just than this one. May you start with the words you have. May you stare at life as it is right now, not as you hoped it would be, but as it is. May you love what is nearby. May you consider the end of this Bernadette Mayer poem any time you find the nearby lacking: “please take a piece of me back home, each piece / is anti-war and don’t pay your rent, in fact / remember: property is robbery, give everybody / everything, other birds walk this way too.” Do not be afraid. Do not give way to evil. (That’s the motto of the Bronx, by the way.) Do not go down quietly. And now some news:
NYC EVENT: Wed, June 5th @ 7:30p in Washington Heights: I’m performing and reading in a SPECIAL double-release party with musician and composer Tessa Brinckman. Words, music, video installations, treats, drinks, patio. Tickets & info! This will be my last public NYC appearance for a while because…
…I’m having a baby at the end of summer! So now’s a great time to nab a paperback or audiobook if you haven’t already, or upgrade to a paid subscription of The Catalog (which comes with a free 30 min. consult with me!).

EVENTS
SUNFACE (or music-for-robots) | June 11th at 7pm (Doors @ 6:30pm)
It's a concert. It's a sci-fi musical. It's a robot junkyard band performing for other robots. It will eventually be a bigger piece, but come join us for this fringey version at ARS NOVA! SUNFACE is a cyber-folk concert that follows the titular character, a misfit, malfunctioning robot & its band, THE NICE DEVICES, curious about “how to human” in a fully robot world. Created & performed by Mikey Rose. GET TIX HERE!
CANDICE MADEY Gallery | Richard Ayodeji Ikhide, May 3–June 15, 2024
The Ties that Bind presents a new series of large-scale watercolor, gouache, and collaged paintings on paper that follow the journeys of Emiomo, a central figure introduced in Ikhide’s first exhibition with the gallery in 2021.
CANDICE MADEY Gallery | J.A. Feng, May 3–June 15, 2024

Call for submissions for Spirit Duplicator, new magazine from Adam Tobin
From Adam Tobin: “We are starting a magazine! Spirit Duplicator. 8.5x11 paper, stapled along one edge. 64 pages, 100 copies. To be issued maybe twice a year? Distributed to its contributors and via Unnameable Books. Poems will be typed on a typewriter and xeroxed at the copyshop until we get the CopyRite machine working. It will be very pretty. Please send us your work!
1-10 pages, multiple poems or one. We are looking for “poems”, but we don't really know what that means. These days a lot of poems are made of prose and other things. I like experiment and sound, socialist politics and serious play. Catherine likes poems that are surprising, haunted/ing, avant garde, visual, sonic, lyric, and tender. But we are both open to other possibilities of poetry.
Send your poems in whatever format makes sense (doc, pdf, etc, or actual paper) by July 1. You can send them to Adam Tobin & Catherine Bresner / spiritduplicator000@gmail.com”
