I only just discovered this series, begun in 2007 by UbuWeb, but I think it offers great, albeit inevitably guarded, insight to how these invited authors appraise their own work and ideas. I particularly enjoyed language poet Craig Dworkin’s submission of a “spam poem”, deemed unpublishable because by the time he got around to it the concept was “old hat” in the language poet community. I also enjoyed Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija’s bromance of a collaboration, Hurricane.
