Bridge Journal V21N1 Now Available

Hello from Chicago’s independent, interdisciplinary, print-only journal of art & public scholarship

……… where we just released the latest edition of the Bridge Journal, Version 21, Number 1 (click cover image above for our full masthead and table of contents). Designed by Bob Faust and Faust, Ltd. For this volume, focusing on the background and specifics of our Assembly Zones program, we worked with a wide range of artists and institutions including MoMA, Gladstone Gallery, The MIT Press, Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) and others to produce our most in-depth research yet.

In addition, themes throughout the volume report a picture of artist’s responses to language and authoritarianism as curated for an essay and exhibition-in-print by Ionit Behar, Assistant Curator at the DePaul Art Museum, with artworks from Nick Cave & Bob Faust, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Stephanie Syjuco, Tania Bruguera, Dianna Frid, Bethany Collins, and Huong Ngo — just to name a few.

All this plus new visual poetry by Atlantic writer Michael Betancourt, an original cartoon by New Yorker cartoonist Shannon Wheeler, and more.
