"M/E/A/N/I/N/G" brings together essays and commentary by over a
hundred artists, critics, and poets, culled from the art magazine
of the same name. The editors--artists Susan Bee and Mira
Schor--have selected the liveliest and most provocative pieces from
the maverick magazine that bucked commercial gallery interests and
media hype during its ten-year tenure (1986-96) to explore visual
pleasure with a culturally activist edge.
With its emphasis on artists' perspectives of aesthetic and social
issues, this anthology provides a unique opportunity to enter into
the fray of the most hotly contested art issues of the past few
decades: the visibility of women artists, sexuality and the arts,
censorship, art world racism, the legacies of modernism, artists as
mothers, visual art in the digital age, and the rewards and toils
of a lifelong career in art. The stellar cast of contributing
artists and art writers includes Nancy Spero, Richard Tuttle, David
Humphrey, Thomas McEvilley, Laura Cottingham, Johanna Drucker,
David Reed, Carolee Schneemann, Whitney Chadwick, Robert Storr,
Leon Golub, Charles Bernstein, and Alison Knowles.
This compelling and theoretically savvy collection will be of
interest to artists, art historians, critics, and a general
audience interested in the views of practicing artists.
