Artists' Magazines. Authors, publishers and writers talk about their publications and the collaborative nature of their work
This panel explores how and why artists create magazines. Artists, publishers, and writers talk about their publications and the collaborative nature of their work, promoting social and political ideas, employing creative editorial practices, appropriating materials, and building artist communities. Participants include K8 Hardy of LTTR, Flint Jamison of Veneer Magazine, Kristina Lee Podesva and Jeff Khonsary of Fillip, and Anthony Smyrski of Megawords. David Senior, bibliographer MoMA Library, moderates. Held in conjunction with Millenium Magazines, organized by senior and Rachael Morrison, senior Library assistant. In conjunction with the exhibition Millennium Magazines (until May 14, 2012). Throughout the 20th century, international avant-garde activities in the visual arts and design were often codified first in the informal context of a magazine or journal. This exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the MoMA Library, follows the practice into the 21st century. The works on view represent a broad array of international titles within this genre, from community-building newspapers to image-only photography magazines to conceptual design projects.
