That’s all we’ve been about for more than30 years—stubbornly, unpredictably, and reliably. We understand contemporary art asa constellation of practices variably wielding ideas, images, space, sound, materials,encounters, discourse, and text. We also define it as a permeable realm subjected tothe multiple, changing, and incessant pressures of contemporary life. That explainsour fierce and unruly curiosity.Looking simultaneously at art <strong>com</strong>munities across the USA and around the world,<strong>ART</strong> <strong>PAPERS</strong> scans the event horizon to challenge accepted notions, and articulatedebates. We engage artists, critics, curators, scholars, collectors, and readers to provokediscussions. Recognized as the independent critical voice that best covers allregions of the USA, we undauntedly assert a unique global perspective on whatshapes art now. Blame it on our nonprofit status, and our worldly, southern accents.They just afford us a unique perspective, and a great deal of intellectual freedom.Informed, assertive, authoritative, and accessible, <strong>ART</strong> <strong>PAPERS</strong> is the essential,independent guide to contemporary art.
