In 2011, American artist Adam Pendleton (b. 1984) assembled Black Dada Reader, a compendium of texts, documents and positions that elucidated a practice and ethos of 'Black Dada'. Resembling a school course reader, the book was a spiral-bound series of photocopies and collages, originally intended only for personal reference, and eventually distributed informally to friends and colleagues. The contents - an unlikely mix of Hugo Ball, W.E.B. Du Bois, Adrian Piper, Gertrude Stein, Sun Ra, Stokely Carmichael, Gilles Deleuze - formed a kind of experimental canon, realised through what Pendleton calls 'radical juxtaposition'. In 2017, Koenig Books published the Reader in a hardcover edition, with newly commissioned essays and additional writings by the artist. A decade later, Pendleton has composed another reader, building upon the constellation of writers, artists, filmmakers, philosophers and critics that emerged in the first volume.
