- BOMB Magazine
Named after Wyndham Lewis’s BLAST, a 1914 journal edited by artists and writers, BOMB Magazine, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, launched in 1981 as an artists’ and writers’ quarterly because its founders saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way it was described by critics. As a result, BOMB has made the artist’s voice an essential component of cultural discourse.
BOMB reveals artists’ ideas, thoughts and creative processes by producing in-depth interviews between visual artists, writers, musicians, actors, directors, choreographers, performers and architects across multiple platforms-in print, online, and at live events. Publishing carefully developed dialogues that delve deep into theory and practice, BOMB has re-invented the question-and-answer format, allowing for complex discussions about art to emerge.
BOMB’s interviews are legendary.
Because in the pages of BOMB, artists get to be the authors of their own tales.
Over the last 30 years, BOMB has grown to become an international magazine with an editorial board of over 80 professional artists, writers, actors, directors, architects, and musicians serving as our Contributing Editors. The BOMB Digital Archive, available online for free worldwide, contains over 1,000 interviews from the last quarter century—that’s more than 2,000 voices comprising an ongoing conversation that has changed the nature of cultural discourse. Considered primary documents of American cultural history, BOMB’s archives have twice been awarded NEA Heritage and Preservation Grants for Excellence and have been acquired by Columbia University’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library in 2004. In addition to our Interviews, BOMB features "Artists on Artists" essays and First Proof, BOMB's literary supplement, featuring original fiction and poetry, excerpts of novels, and first-time translations into English.
In addition to the magazine, BOMB produces the audio and video series BOMBLive!, which pairs artists and writers in lively and intimate conversations about the creative process. BOMB also hosts a variety of events around the country, including launch parties; readings, panels, and performances; an Annual Gala & Silent Auction fundraiser; and participates in such fairs and conventions as AWP, CAA, BEA, ALA, among others.
Visit BOMBsite.com for extras and continuations from the print edition, as well as web-exclusives like streaming videos, podcasts, web-only interviews, audio and video clips from artist's works. Check out BOMBlog for original content such as reviews, poems, event listings, video, and discussion boards.
BOMB-outspoken and timeless-interviews that change the way we think about the arts, by the people who make the arts.

Michael Tetherow by Ellen Phelan - BOMB Magazine

Michael Tetherow by Ellen Phelan, Issue #27, 1989
https://bombmagazine.org/articles/michael-tetherow/
Painter Michael Tetherow discusses his view of the role of the abstract artist, the magical qualities he finds in certain aspects of nature, and the excitement of the “process of making.”

From our Oral History Project. 🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡 In Nancy Princenthal's words: "Willie Cole is a global traveler in life and art. Working with objects found at first in the streets and junkshops of Newark and Harlem—they have come to include steam irons, hair dryers, lawn jockeys, and plastic water bottles—and with sources ranging from Yoruba and Senufo masks and sacred figures to major works of early Modernism, Cole forges assemblages distinguished by their sharp wit and formal elegance." @williecoleart @nancy.princenthal #williecole #modernism #foundobjects #bomboralhistoryproject #signposts #everydayisblackhistory

Subtext: Lisa Birman’s Valentine to the United States by Susie DeFord
https://bombmagazine.org/articles/subtext-lisa-birmans-valentine-to-the-united-states/
The word “Valentine” can’t help but invoke images of cheap, cheesy paper Garfield valentines and boxes of colorful, chalky heart candies that say “Be Mine” and “Hot Stuff.” However, on February 14th 2006, the Australian born poet Lisa Birman received a unique valentine from the United ...

"Well, I am romantic: I’m interested in the fragility of life, the quickness of experience."
Ellen Phelan by Michèle Gerber Klein, Issue #88, 2004
https://bombmagazine.org/articles/ellen-phelan/
When Ellen Phelan first told me about her plan to work with existing photographs—family-album snapshots of her life from childhood through adulthood, some shot by her father and others by her husband, Joel Shapiro—I was immediately touched and intrigued.

Robin Winters by Betsy Sussler - BOMB Magazine
"If you’re making valentines, and they’re meant very personally and then somebody says 'Oh, but you’re such a good valentine maker! Make more valentines just like this!' There are two sides. One generates money. One generates meaning. Sometimes they merge perfectly."
Robin Winters by Betsy Sussler, Issue #7, 1983
https://bombmagazine.org/articles/robin-winters/
Artist Robin Winters talks about his assorted odd jobs, his cast of characters, and sets an ultimatum for the American government.

https://bombmagazine.org/articles/marlane-meyer/
"I may write plays now so that they're really open on some level, but I'd like to see if there's a more visual level, rather than just the inherent truth of the language that I've always gone for. I want to find a sort of visual shorthand. I'm just beginning to play with that now."

Conceptual art’s shift away from the traditional art object—sometimes dubiously referred to as "dematerialization"—was more or less an idée reçue in the late 1980s and early ’90s, when Olafur Eliasson was beginning to make art as a student at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen.

Dispatch from Standing Rock #4
While the news has been heralded as a victory for the thousands gathered at the Oceti Sakowin Camp, many water protectors have underscored the fact that their fight is far from over. Eric, a veteran who has been at Standing Rock Indian Reservation since early November, provides commentary, vowing to stay until all pipeline equipment has been removed. Spiritual leader Coyote, meanwhile, remarks on the importance of indigenous prayer practices and respect for natural resources so often regarded as mere commodities. Source: http://bombmagazine.org/article/5975129/dispatch-from-standing-rock-4
Dispatch from Standing Rock #3
This third installment features images and interviews made on December 3, before the Army's announcement the next afternoon. Artist Cannupa Hanska Luger, an enrolled member of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara tribes who was born in the Standing Rock area but now lives in New Mexico, speaks about the mirror shields he designed and distributed to water protectors on the front lines. With the organizing help of Rory Wakemup of All My Relations Arts in Minneapolis, 500 mirror shields were distributed throughout the camp, culminating in a performance, portions of which are presented here.

Dispatch from Standing Rock #2
Brooklyn-based artist Ati Maier is currently in North Dakota, where she has joined the Standing Rock Sioux in their demonstrations against the Dakota Access Pipeline. In these short dispatches, she’ll be sharing her own candid photos and video clips, along with statements from tribal leaders, artists, and other water protectors among the thousands that have gathered at the Oceti Sakowin encampment. This second installment features images of the nearby native communities of Wakpala, McLaughlin, and Fort Yates—their snowy roads, memorials, gravestones, homes, and offices. These areas have some of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, and suicide in the country, and the average yearly income of its residents is well below the national poverty line. Geraldine Agard, former tribal councilperson and current Standing Rock election coordinator, comments on how the demonstrations have effected life on the reservation for the better and also recounts what she regards as a prophetic warning from generations past.

Dispatch from Standing Rock #1
Brooklyn-based artist Ati Maier is currently in North Dakota, where she has joined the Standing Rock Sioux in their demonstrations against the Dakota Access Pipeline. In these short dispatches, she’ll be sharing her own candid photos and video clips, along with statements from tribal leaders, artists, and other water protectors among the thousands that have gathered at the Oceti Sakowin encampment. This first video features images of the terrain, flags, and signage at the entrance to the main camp, then shows a small group of US military veterans advancing toward a cement and razor-wire blockade at a bridge spanning the Cannon Ball River. Veterans Manaja Hill and Andrew Struss provide commentary. With colder weather now arriving, some 2000 veterans plan to join the effort on December 4, defending demonstrators against intimidation and assault.
