you know how it goes. work; stress. family. life and what not.

but the Absolute Minimum team plan on starting things back up VERY soon. thanks for the support and interest.

for anyone interested, we are looking for one more member to the team. the pay sucks (there is none) but you get to contribute to getting the word out about minimalist art in all its forms. so if you know a bit about the genre and would like to be an occasional editor/adviser, drop us an e-mail and express your interest and WHY we should choose you.

all other comments are welcome as well. got a musical or visual artist in mind to feature on the site? let us know.

We've gotten quite a positive response on the site and are pleased that so many of you are enjoying it. We ask that you please be patient with us as we contact artists and authors for permissions to use works in the future.

Regular posts should begin again within a week or so. We expect to post new material 3 times a week.

As usual, all artists and authors please send us your stuff if you would like to be considered for inclusion in future posts.

Regards,
the AM team

Sex on the Couch

All of these devices
were devices. All of these radiant afternoons
were noise. You are the daydream someone else
has of you while you’re talking to them.
