Art Journal

The art journal I chose is Cabinet Magazine.

http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/

The reason why I chose Cabinet Magazine is because after visiting its website, I found many interesting gallery pieces and works that caught my attention right away. I found myself viewing and reading further on the articles and decided that I would like to follow through with this art journal for the rest of Film 202's fall course.

Jean - Glad Cabinet is of interest. It is a popular choice, which makes sense to me.

As I wrote to one of your colleagues, I think you'll find this publication a rewarding pursuit. Or, that is to say, I always enjoy perusing (opening?) Cabinet. It seems more curated than edited, its chosen themes unexpected, whimsical even, but leading to some captivating essays and provocations.

I may like Cabinet because it seems as interested in reinventing the form of the magazine as in sharing he essays and artwork that it publishes. The library, alas, does not carry the magazine - but if you wanted to look at a hard copy, Schwartz's usually has a copy on their newstand.

The online version does have a gallery of sorts. I encourage you to look at the other links - there is a link to a Guy Be-ner video for instance on the current site.

All to say - I look forward to your posts. Be sure to check out the guidelines for the second round of blogs now posted on the D2L site. Those posts are due by 29 October.
