International Necronautical Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Necronautical Society is a semi-fictional organisation devoted to exploring the concept of death and spatial analogies, closely modelled on European avant-gardes of the 20th century. It has mounted several events at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
The June 2004 edition of Art Monthly ran a feature on the INS, which claimed that:
"The INS models itself on the modernist avant-gardes. It even mimics their ideological disputes; a year ago McCarthy, remembering André Breton, ejected most of the founding members. But it also plays, with its "General Secretary", its "hearings" and "reports", on the terminology and protocol of the Kafkaesque bureaucracy."[1]
Its General Secretary is Tom McCarthy, the artist, writer and theorist. The INS expelled Hari Kunzru from its membership on account of his collaboration with the mainstream publishing industry on becoming a novelist.
