Begun in the early Eighties, this artist-run periodical features a wide range of visual art, artists’ projects, essays, poetry, and fiction; each issue is guest-edited and devoted to a specific cultural theme.
“Millennial urgings, public obsessions with the end of time and history, and the resurrection of enchanted realms have seemingly supercollided to form what might be called popular metaphysics. As diversely popular subjects as they are, the X-Files, deep ecology, miracle sightings, Psychic Friends, and science’s re-apprehension of the cosmos all have in common a newly shared belief in the meta of physics - that beyond the material world there exists a spirited and structured universe greater than our current consciousness can absolutely ascertain.” (from editor Andrew Boardman’s introduction)
