When a war ends provisionally, the agreement is called a ceasefire. But when peace ends, there is only war. War and peace are co-dependent. Perhaps it is now time for a ""Peacefire.""

In Maintenant 17: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art, nearly 250 artists from more than 40 countries explore the concept of the end of both war and peace, exploring provocative outsider ideas as dada has done since its inception. With searing cover art by Uta Kaxniashvili, this issue of the renowned journal elaborates on dada's original premise as an antiwar movement.

The Maintenant series, established in 2008, explores themes of politics, humanity, philosophy, and current concerns from an antiwar, anarchic (and often eye-opening) perspective. Past issues include work by artists Mark Kostabi, Raymond Pettibon, Joel Hubaut, Heide Hatry, Avelino de Araujo, Pawel Kuczynski, Inas Al-Soqi, Giovanni Fontana, Nicole Eisenmann, Syporca Whandal, and Kazunori Murakami; past writers have included Gerard Malanga, Charles Plymell, Andrei Codrescu, Harry E. Northup, Malik Crumpler, Maw Shein Win, and more, with a strong contingent of artist-writers from the world of punk rock, including Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Bibbe Hanson and more.

Critics have praised the series since its inception. Seattle Book Review calls Maintenant, ""A smorgasbord for those who are sick and tired of it."" Tribe LA dubs the journal, ""A compilation of leading Dada-influenced artists from around the world that is timely and relevant."" Serbia's Madjan Magazine proclaims that the Maintenant series proves ""Dada is not dead."" The Maintenant series is archived in leading institutions worldwide, including Museum of Modern Art New York.

It's quite a smorgasbord for those who are sick and tired of it. Seattle Book Review A compilation of leading Dada-influenced artists from around the world. TRIBE LA Magazine Excellent examples of collage and montage techniques . . . Interesting visual poems. Portland Book Review Contemporary art and writing ranging from collages and acrylics to new digital art motifs and using computers to create art . . . As always it brings an interesting perspective.
