We launched this publication unknowingly into the pandemic-warped times of March 2020. In our initial announcement on March 25th of that year, we stated:
"As a journal of art and strategy, our mark and motion is to consider art and art criticism’s capacity to intervene in the world. MARCH is meant as a durational platform with a singular purpose: to gather urgent thinking and writing with ideas, actions and forms that embody how we can better be together."
MARCH has always been a shared effort of writers, researchers, readers, and editors stitching together global solidarities. We have operated multinationally, funded solely through memberships, fiscal sponsorship and partnerships, publishing three print editions and engaging essential long-form research thematics over periods of years. We are grateful for your readership and many forms of support over the past five years.
However, it has become clear over time that our intended model was not possible for us to live into. We’ve accomplished many resonant things in these five years, but equally have realized that the scope of the publication, the precarious realms of funding, printing and distribution, and our own capacities were out of sync. With that in mind, we have decided to announce an indefinite hiatus of MARCH, putting the publication to close as we mark our fifth anniversary.
As a next step, we will be exhaustively archiving the website, records and print output. The print publications will be held at The Luminary alongside a range of distributors we have worked with around the globe. We are not ruling out future uses of this platform and archive, but equally do not have any plans to begin publishing or relaunching for the foreseeable future.
