NOIT JOURNAL

NOIT is a creative journal published by Flat Time House Institute ( FTHo) and Camberwell Press. Comprised of new writing and visual contributions with each issue edited by a guest editor, NOIT will explore the theoretical concerns and art work of John Latham, and their continued relevance. The title NOIT is a term Latham created by reversing the suffix ‘-tion’ which converts verbs into abstract nouns to challenge the process of turning actions into things. It is the sign of an activity that ‘defies its own definition by denying the validity of any given definition ’.
