Accattone #9 brings together a reflection on the ebb and flow between affirmation and denial as well as material- conceptual operations with dirt. It features a reassembled art residency, furniture made from salvaged materials (and new bolts), drywall marquetry, a punk farm, the earliest cave construction, a lavatory covered in goose feathers, cars buried under asphalt, fake nails, gabion walls, hairy stuff, mud, a recipe for concrete rubble walls and slabs, a sandbag façade, theory fed to worms, a leaking fountain, theoretical fatbergs and the yes of the no.
