In Hi-Density Politics, Urayoán Noel hurls himself out of himself towards what actually happens in the world - deep ideological dalliance with A = not-As, Bs = Cs. As mediator between cultures, mashing up newly found passions to cultural funk-outs, he is ever the exacerbationist (trozos de intención - micro choques en colliders de jour). But not just for himself (!) Go-ahead here is by community (dímelo) - a solid push back on repressive hegemonies. The puckish poetic reminds one of Brechts Die Hauspostille (Manual of Piety). The we-could-pull-the-plug-on-all-this-culture-art-stuff-at-any-time - has been ghoulish kin to cultural-political artists since then. Thus, this book is also a teaching" of our un-teachable busted capitalist moment. And marvelously, we feel freedom-potential in Hi-Density Politics. Noel rattles the big other symbolic order just long enough for the signs to slink out from under it, unbridled, furiously cute, in maximalist rhythms. -Rodrigo Toscano
