Traumawien

Traumawien displayed print books of conceptual writers and artists such as Audun Mortensen, Ubermorgen, and Oswald Wiener[3] and published, among others, Mimi Cabell and Jason Huff's American Psycho, an experimental reworking of the classic American Psycho,[4][5][6] which was exhibited at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in 2012.[7]

In 2012 Traumawien completed their initial publication series with the e-book system 'Ghostwriters' on copyright and user exploitation.[8][9][10][11][12].

From 2013 to 2015 the publisher's event 'Artclub Rave Lecture[13]' – a working synthesis of industrial techno and literary reading/lecture, dubbed by Deutschlandfunk as 'the most radical performance[14]' at Europe's largest event for young literature Prosanova – became a Vienna club scene check-point.

In 2014 Traumawien created an ongoing series of post-digital products from Zazzle, an online merchandise print on demand service, customized with content appropriated from various social media.[15]

The prefix 'Post' was not be understood in the context of Post-Histoire or Post-Modernism but rather in the sense of Post-Punk. So therefore the continuation of a culture - the digital culture which manifests in the analog domain, the physical world. [16]

Also in 2014, a manifesto[17] in "Manifeste für eine Literatur der Zukunft" with Neue Rundschau/S. Fischer Verlag/Frankfurt was released.[18][19]

The Post-Art Poets was a group of conceptual poets active between 2013 and 2014 (known members include Vanessa Place, Danny Snelson, and Luc Gross of Traumawien).

Three works are available as print-on-demand via Blurb. Other publications include Last Poets: A 9,999 page poem by The Poets Against Poetry (PDF), the conceptual anthology Fungible Poetics Inc. concerned with shared ownership and market logics (PDF), and 32 Words. An Anthology of Post-Art Anti-Poetics, whose imprint states “Appropriation, plagiarism, and counterpublishing are encouraged.” It is sold for $160. In 2014, the Post-Art Poets announced the end of their group on Twitter: “WE HAVE DISAPPEARED / TO BEGIN PREPARATIONS / FOR OUR REAPPEARANCE…” [20]

Meme Products were presented at 21erHaus Vienna Summer 2016.[21]

The publisher cites conceptual writer Vanessa Place as a crucial influence.

Traumawien dissolved in 2016[2] to begin preparations for their reappearance.
