My name is Paul Werner. I’m an artist and a cultural critic. In 1973 I founded the Orange Press while a member of an anarchist print shop called Come! Unity Press. The idea was, and still is, to do as much as possible on my own: writing, printing, distributing; also, to offer free exchange so far as is possible. Nothing’s changed. In 1999 I started WOID. A journal of visual language, along the same principles. I hold a PhD in Art History from CUNY (Topic: Jacques Louis David and the French Revolution). You can find more about me here:

Of course you’re welcome to rummage around my site, but if you want to be notified of new posts you should sign up as a subscriber. All subscribers receive mini-mails, more experimental and ephemeral notes and announcements as well as the longer articles and reviews. As for hitting you up for money: you’re free to do so if you feel it, but it’s not a priority for me.
