ART PAPERS 38.06 - Nov/Dec 2014

Magazines make exhibitions. What is compelling about this model is that it is, like this November/ December issue, about coming together: magazines unite people on a masthead and connect audiences through discourse; exhibitions get everyone in a room together with drinks at hand. --Victoria Camblin, excerpt, Letter from the Editor
