The Erotic Economies multimedia print journals act as major vehicles for engaging and sustaining erotic economy exchanges. The first edition is now available in print and will be coming soon to this site. The mission of Erotic Economies is to create a critical discourse among media and visual artists who are concerned with investigating, reproducing, or otherwise engaging with economies of exchange, in order to excavate and engender writing and artwork that underscores those bonds and links created by exchanges that occur outside of commodity exchange-- or work that can present visionary schemes for escaping production/consumption cycles, and that can portray otherwise invisible systems of value and radical noncompliance with markets. Is anything outside the market? Can art resist capitalism the way it attempted to resist materiality? Is there anything beyond value? Can humans exist in any state besides labor, work, and play? -- that is, besides death (pace Derrida)?
