Artillery
is a publication offering critical reviews of contemporary
art. "The
only art magazine that's fun to read"
Excerpt... Artillery
is a fresh, smart magazine that captures the verve
and
vitality of the contemporary art world.
We
tend toward the provocative, with readable articles,
skipping the academic art jargon that usually leaves
readers snoring. Our reviews are critiques, not descriptions.
Our profiles are in-depth, not fluff. Our art dish
captures the who's who of openings. Artillery knows
the buzz that's
happening in the galleries and studios. We stick by
our guns with "killer text on art."

The
Brooklyn Rail is a 501(c)(3),
volunteer-run nonprofit journal, offering perspectives
on art, politics,
and
culture.
Excerpt... The
Rail’s real commitment
is less to a program than a place, or better yet,
to a set of traditions
that place represents. We originate from, and declare
ourselves
to be in some way representative
of, Brooklyn, and so we must pay homage to a more
than estimable literary
heritage. And often, though not always, that tradition
has been sparked by unlikely matches of aesthetics
and
politics. Whitman was an anti-slavery newspaper
editor as he began to chant democratically, and Marianne
Moore, modernist that she was, eventually wrote odes
to Muhammad
Ali. - Theodore Hamm, Editor.

Excerpt... The
Yellow Rake began in January 2004 in a booze-soaked backroom
by a group of
ragtag, activist writers who lamented the impending death
of the punk rock zine. In typical DIY punk fashion, the
group wrote, drew, and decorated the hand-folded, hand
stapled publication and distributed it themselves via their
own bicycles. Seventeen issues and countless articles,
comics, and reviews later, The Yellow Rake still forges
ahead in its literary struggle against intolerance, pettiness,
and other human stupidities.
“
We basically set out to write against all the wrongs in
the world,” says Brian Polk, head writer and editor
in chief of the zine. “And we knew we had to do
it ourselves since no one else was going to publish what
we
wanted to write.”
