Errata: the first five footnotes of Dark Matter were accidentally omitted from the section called: “Exordium: an Accidental Remainder.” The missing notes are:

[1] Beyond Recognition: Representation, Power, and Culture: Craig Owens, edited by Scott Bryson, Barbara Kruger, Lynne Tillman, and Jane Weinstock, University of California Press, 1992.
[2] ‘The Problem With Puerilism’, Craig Owens, Art In America Magazine, Vol. 72, No. 6, Summer, 1983, 162-163.
[3] Owen’s ‘The Problem With Puerilism’ appeared a few months before Rosalyn Deutsche and Cara Gendel Ryan published their landmark essay, ‘The Fine Art of Gentrification’, in October Magazine, Vol. 31, Winter, 1984, 91-111, but which is also available on the website of the alternative space ABC No Rio at: http://www.abcnorio.org/about/history/fine_art.html
[4] Owens, op cit.

[5] The term ‘lumpenography’ is borrowed from Nuyorican scholar Luis Aponte-Parés who describes the very memory of New York City’s Puerto-Rican El Barrio during the economically devastating 1970s as a space of arrested development with discontinuous memories and fragmented cultural forms making up its imaginary geography. See the essay: ‘Ambiguous Identities! The Affirmation of Puertorriqueñidad in the Community Murals of New York City,’ by Elsa B. Cardalda Sánchez, and Amilcar Tirado Avilés, in Mambo Montage: The Latinization of New York, edited by Agustín Laó-Montes, Arlene Dávila, Augustín Laó-Montes, Arlene Dávila, Columbia University Press, 2001, 265
