MOFA: The Museum of Fungible Art is a collection of verbo-visual gems from Norman Conquest, gathering parody, sound poetry, and absurdist visual imagery. The publisher description notes that the lavish edition includes two scarce early satirical works — Sartre's French Phrase Book (1974) and Interiors: A Book of Very Clean Rooms (1985) — alongside material published here for the first time.
Also inside is an excerpt from Conquest's parodic recasting of Akbar del Piombo's Fuzz Against Junk, retitled Fuzz Against Smut (later expanded into a full-length Black Scat title in 2024), surrealist riffs on the Nancy comic strip, and sound poems.
Conquest is a verbo-visual prankster and the founder of the international anti-censorship art collective Beuyscouts of Amerika, as well as the founder and editor of Black Scat Books. JEF also publishes his What Is Art?.
