THE BRIDGE JOURNAL JOINS SUBSCRIPTION-BASED ACADEMIC AND LIBRARY RESEARCH DATABASE
Bridge is pleased to announce that The Bridge Journal has contracted to join the EBSCO Information Services Research Database, making it available in 90% of the world's public, college and university libraries.
“For years now, The Bridge Journal has served as an all-too rare independent publication space unencumbered by funding priorities, academic or market trend, where the members of the Bridge artistic collective — who also serve as the journal’s volunteer Section Editors, alongside the internationally acclaimed contributors who join them each volume — could showcase deep-dive research into the areas of their expertise and contribute to existing public scholarship,” says publisher Michael Workman. “Now, the art, writing, poetry and scholarship of each volume will officially become part of the available academic and library research record through this new partnership with EBSCO Information Services. A leader in the field alongside such essential other information services as JSTOR and others, this is the first step in establishing The Bridge Journal as an active, artist-run, Chicago-based hub for research into the groundbreaking art and cultural practices that are the subjects of the journal, by those who practice them — and available to all as close as your nearest public or university library.”
About The Bridge Journal
An independent Chicago journal, Bridge began in the early-aughts and published roughly 15 editions, with fiction, poetry, essays and more before transitioning to an exposition production company in 2006. In 2018, with a small, committed core group, we relaunched Bridge as a journal. Our goal is to publish a hardcover guidebook to the interdisciplinary art movement which it seeks to provide, in the tradition of the vanguard pamphlets of previous eras — from the original Century Guild Hobby Horse of the Pre-Raphaelites to post-Secession journals such as Aubrey Beardsley’s Yellow Book, Tristan Tzara's Litterature magazine & Wyndham Lewis' Blast, to Stieglitz’s Camera Work, Bataille’s Acéphale, Sharp and Béar’s Avalanche, to Ulises Carrión’s Ephemera, and all those in-between. Bridge is a "periodical," coming out when there's sufficient quality material to merit publication.
