"The advent of fictocriticism, the propagation of the artist’s novel, and the increasing interest in experimental forms of creative criticism are unequivocal symptoms of the emergence of a hybrid textual space where traditional distinctions between theory and practice, fiction and research, literature and the visual arts, are blurred. The only trait common to such a disorganised array of writing practices lies in the fact that they are mongrels of all sorts of breeds and colours."From: Obieg magazine - 'Art & Literature: A Mongrel's Guide', guest edited by DAI associate researcher & alumn David Maroto (DAI, 2013).
