I like Portfolio & Hotshoe. They are just good.

i like juxtapoz, its more art than photography, but its so neat

my apostrophe key isnt working

Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine Online

Home

the photos on the webpage do not do the peices justice. most of them were interactive and i thought they were really fun and sweet and evocative. the only art at the festival that made me happy cry.

off topic, sorry, back to magazines.

Yeah I've bought an issue of Juxtapoz....it's ok.
The Fine Arts Are Dieing...I'm very sad.

I'd rather go to exhibits at MOMA and The Whitney......it's less pretentious than the magazines.

well not everyone can go to fancy museums and galleries, some of us have to make do with being pretentious magazine readers i guess

Well, then...You can always go to the websites for the musuems...click what exhibits are up...then research the artists and works online?

I guess I'm lucky to live where I live

I get Popular Photography and Photo Life.

Not sure if those are the kinds of magazines you're looking for but I thought I would mention them.

why are museums the only valid way to view art?

thats a fairly closed minded and canonical way to look at things, imo

agreed.

and i have very happy memories from when i was in jr high high school lolokking at magazines and discovering people that way. i found barbara krueger and gilbert and george etc etc.

there is a really great livejournal called drtenge which has amazing subversive art on it and ive looked at his entire postings and now im itching for more stuff.

and i live in kansas city which has a couple museums not great and about to movie to erie pa which has like, NOTHING and in winter when im snowed in i want to look forward to magazines c oming my way

so sod off with the shitty attitudes and snobbery MISS NEW YORK

No I'm not saying that exactly. I go to festivals often to (like the DUMBO art festival) and if you look them up, I'm sure there are some in your state or country also....I know they're all over. My friend in NC goes to exhibits and festivals that pop up when he can.
It's just, I've looked at juxtapoz and other art magazines and it's really not the same...most of it isn't fine art, and as I said this is sad because the fine arts are dieing.

oh man, there goes the rest of my evening - that lj looks all kinds of fascinating!

ive been trawling through chrissy pipers photography lately, mostly all the old band stuff, but also because where else would you see blake schwartzenbach dressed up as st francis of asissi or heather hannoura in victorian mourning dress?!

heather hannoura is also a fantastic artist

what do you mean by fine art exactly? only using certain mediums or subjects? do you include photograhy or any kind of digital mediums in your definition? because i love ray ceasar for example, but i get the feeling he wouldnt fall under your umbrella, maybe because his work is considered 'lowbrow' by virtue of what it presents, but it's also super defined and the attention to detail is astonishing - it's digital fine art. do you see that as an extension of classical fine art, or a bastardisation of it? who are some of your favourite artists?

that's scary

Digital Fine Art? Hahaha...is this a new term?

I dislike Ray Ceasar......More of a fan of Man Ray

I like more than the fine arts...I love art film, everything from Loops to short films to full lenghth art film and much photography...but my point is that if people don't pay more attention to fine art now, it shall die. Northern Germany seems to still be focusing on using just a canvas and a brush still..I just wish there was a more prominant amount of that
Oh and Fine art definetely doesn't mean only using certain subjects

Example of a Digitial Age Artist that I Adore: Ben Frost. He's australian. You may like him.

but why do you think "fine art" is so important? and why does it seem is has to be one or the other? i should point out that i adore good old fashioned, proper drawing/painting, particularly portraits - but i dont know what you mean by "pay more attention to". do you mean more patronage to fine arts, forcing schoolkids to break their necks looking at the old masters in galleries?

i actually know of and like ben frost, though he is a little more on the pop art end of things, which i find very hit and miss
