Our new East Austin arthouse/bookstore neighbor, Domy Books, is linking up with Monofonus Press for an evening of the visual and written arts. As you may or may not know, Monofonus is a new-ish multimedia imprint with the big goal of pairing new writing, music and the visual arts into some pretty neat packages. Past releases in their “If” series have included the writing and music of Monofonus co-founder Morgan Coy and his band Over the Hill, and future projects will include releases by Diagonals, The Pillow Queens, and other music, visual art, fiction and more.

Before the reading even begins, Max Juren will show a few of his video compositions starting at 7:30 p.m. You can see some of his work (like this) on his YouTube channel to get a taste of his style.

Saturday’s main act is John Wesley Coleman, a musician and writer we’ve interviewed and profiled previously, and whose past readings have been known to involve hi-jinks including but not limited to reciting G.G. Allin lyrics backward while walking backwards – an impressive literary feat, no matter who you are.

Also showing her stuff at the reading is Michelle Devereux, a student of Cybergraphics and painting who often depicts “eerie scenes using dimensional trickery and media in the vein of puff paint, and pipe cleaners.”
