The Happy Hypocrite is a biannual journal led by artists’ writings. The theme of the second issue of The Happy Hypocrite, is 'Hunting and Gathering'.

The Happy Hypocrite is a biannual journal led by artists’ writings. Informed by a lineage of modern experimental and avant-garde magazines, such as: Bananas, Documents, The Fox, Merlin and Tracks, this journal aspires to unpack the methodology of such key journals, whilst providing a brand new approach to art writing. It will provide a greatly needed testing ground for new writing and research-based projects, somewhere for artists, writers and theorists to express experimental ideas that might not otherwise be realised or published. In this issue bodies of new writing present techniques of collage & bricolage, found text and image, interspersed with appropriated and parodic writing.
