Traumawien is an independent publishing house founded in 2010 to release digital poetry and conceptual writing as products.
Contents
Traumawien is edited by Luc Gross and subordinated to the PAP.
Traumawien displayed print books of conceptual writers such as Audun Mortensen, Ubermorgen, J.R. Carpenter, Ulrich Nausner, Oswald Wiener and published conceptual literature classic American Psycho which was exhibited at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume in 2012.
Traumawien completed their initial publication series with the e-book system 'Ghostwriters' (with Bernhard Bauch) on copyright and user exploitation and disseminated a 42.000 titles e-book torrent contaminated with advertising slogans in 2013.
From 2013 to 2015 the publishers event 'Artclub Rave Lecture' - a working synthesis of industrial techno and literary reading/lecture, dubbed by Deutschlandfunk as 'the most radical performance' at europes largest event for young literature Prosanova - became a Vienna club scene check-point.
In 2014 Traumawien created an ongoing series of nonprofit products from Zazzle, an online merchandise print on demand service, customized with content appropriated from various social media.
Also in 2014 a manifesto in "Manifeste für eine Literatur der Zukunft" with Neue Rundschau/S. Fischer Verlag/Frankfurt was released.
Products and fashion as carrier media of conceptual literature were presented at 21erHaus Vienna Summer 2016 (with Anna-Kirsten Krambeck).
The publisher cites conceptual writer Vanessa Place as a crucial influence.
