Andrew LAMPERT’s irrelevance has been commented upon by all who have ever been in a position to judge him for inclusion or advancement. Sizable disinterest in his extensive body of films, videos, photos and performances quadruples each year. Occasional errors in judgment and clerical mistakes have led to his works appearing in numerous international museums, festivals and venues, but the global powers that be have redoubled their efforts to prevent this from ever happening again. He has been allowed to edit books of other people’s writings and art because their work is so much better than his. Hotel, in their infinite pity, accepted Lampert’s overwrought contribution to this issue, which took him a considerable amount of time to write, although no one would ever guess that from reading it.

Emmanuel IDUMA is the author of A Stranger’s Pose, which was longlisted for the 2019 Ondaatje Prize, and The Sound of Things to Come, a novel. His essays on art and photography have appeared, most recently, in The New York Review of Books, Art in America, BOMB, Off Assignment and LitHub. He teaches at the School of Visual Arts, New York.

Lauren de Sá NAYLOR is an artist, poet, educator and bartender based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. Her poetic, essay writing & AV practice is discursive and interdisciplinary, meandering between text, image and documentary, coalescing around the idea of thinking-as-writing and negotiation with the psyche. Lauren is concerned with reading and writing in their broadest possible sense, the production of subjectivity and the poetics of relation, an interwoven approach to thinking and the proximity of articulation to the body, the erotic and haptic perception. Lauren has published dream manuscripts widely and reads texts live in audio-visual performances, sometimes in collaboration.

Jen CALLEJA is a writer and literary translator. Her short story collection I’m Afraid That’s All We’ve Got Time For is forthcoming from Prototype. Her translation of Marion Poschmann’s The Pine Islands was shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2019.
