Dissident Deals Monday
'Tis the season.
Welcome to the Dissident Muse take on Cyber Monday, which I hope to make an annual tradition. Behold:
New paid subscriptions to Dissident Muse Journal created this week are 20% off for one year. As mentioned in every post, content at DMJ is free but paid subscriptions keep it coming. Use this link.
Memberships in the Art Critic Alliance are 10% off. The list of 2023 non-accomplishments of AICA-USA is extraordinary: the organization failed to say anything about politically motivated vandalism of exhibits at the National Gallery in April or November, or the forced closures of the Gardner Museum by eco-fascists in either March or September, or attacks on patrons at the Museum of Tolerance in October, or the largest mass-murder of Jews since the Holocaust. They did, however, appoint a non-critic to deliver the 2023 Distinguished Critic Lecture, the twelfth non-white-man in a row to receive the honor. AICA is pathetic, they are shrinking from advocacy that they claim is their mandate, they are overcharging you for an ugly, unprofessional-looking press credential, and you can say goodbye to them forever by joining the Art Critic Alliance and getting a beautiful press credential that doesn’t expire. Use this link and discount code IAMANARTCRITIC at checkout.
Rare, pristine first editions of Aphorisms for Artists: 100 Ways Toward Better Art by Walter Darby Bannard are 20% off. Use this link and discount code AFARARE at checkout. One per customer.
For this week only, I’m making available remaindered first editions of Aphorisms for Artists for the original $25 price, a full $55 off the price of the pristine first editions. These are shrink-wrapped copies with minor printing errors on the cover, or corner damage from packing. So far as I know, the interiors are unaffected. Use this link.
Last but not least, my new print Satyr & Nymph, pictured above, is introduced at 40% off. This is a risograph printed while I was in residence at Directangle Press in New Hampshire. Use this link and discount code LETSGETPAGAN at checkout.
Shopify discount codes will expire at the end of the day, Eastern time on Friday, December 1. The Substack offer is set to expire December 2. Thanks for your readership and patronage, and all best to you for the year to come.
Content at DMJ is free but paid subscriptions keep it coming. Please consider one for yourself and thank you for reading.
We are (I promise) in the midst of an Asynchronous Studio Book Club reading of Totality: Abstraction and Meaning in the Art of Barnett Newman by Michael Schreyach. Obtain your copy and jump in.
Preorders are available for Aphorisms for Artists: 100 Ways Toward Better Art by Walter Darby Bannard. More information is available at the site for the book.
It's a good thing you went for a generic satyr and nymph as opposed to a more specific coupling, such as Pan and Syrinx, in which case cancellation would surely have ensued.
