Some of issue #6 is now online. You really can’t imagine how much more there is until you pick up a physical copy.
Our hope is that we can tease you enough to find a physical copy or order a copy directly from us. Either way, enjoy the new issue.
Telefantasy Studios is the creation of Jennifer Juniper Stratford and Christine Adolph, their union is the direct result of a meeting in an after-school high school video production class in 1990.
I spent the past summer in Chicago on a Threewalls residency with my collaborator, Jemima Wyman. It was my first real break from Los Angeles in four years.

An opportunity arose to buy some land outside the town of Doi Saket, about 20km to the northeast of Chiang Mai, Thailand’s [...]
They are expressive enterprises as much as they are businesses, and they can have considerable impact on the world around them.
…too often the imagined and expressed political positioning of this “arts-activist” scene becomes less explicit and watered down in the attempt to encapsulate a complex history of discursive thought and production.
Nicely played, however, was the decision to install the jaw dropping behemoth of illusionism in the back gallery.

An introduction to groups and spaces in the U.S. and throughout the world.

The Condition of Art Education: Defining the Field and its Distinct Territories.
The following material is intended as a starting point for expanding discussions, collaborations, and research for the field of Art Education. Much of this document reviews personal and historical influences whilst restating existing ideas in the disciplinary literature. We have attempted to articulate a [...]
The visual and material culture of outsiders—bikers, tattooers, carnies, and others—tends to orbit around, participate in, and influence aspects of the fine arts.
Conditions in our country are more miserable now for artists than they have been in decades. The vast majority of artists are not able to pay for their lives through the creative work that they do.
Most traditional economic theory is built around the concept of scarcity — the idea that there’s not enough stuff to go around.
This February has been really busy for us here at Public Media Institute and Proximity magazineland. This weekend marks an end to our recent programming madness . We hope the following events will provide motivation for you to battle this Chicago winter and give you a chance to check out some exciting new shit.

Finkelstein was a professor of mine at DePaul University and he has gained fame and controversy for his books critical of the occupation of Palestine. Finkelstein was denied a tenure position at DePaul and I was one of the students who organized protests in support of his bid for tenure. I was a part of the occupation of DePaul President Fr. Holtschneider’s office. Finkelstein was a fantastic teacher and an excellent academic.
