Back Issues: A Conversation About Art Writing and Publishing
Back Issues: A Conversation About Art Writing and Publishing explores the histories and contemporary work of Canadian art publications. Held at the Western Front on October 20, 2022, four publications each highlight a noteworthy back issue, showcasing how their publication has grown, shifted, or taken risks. Back Issues aims to initiate a conversation about the value of art writing and publishing, not simply as timely reverberations but as materials that influence art history and advocate for who and what is remembered. The panel features Jacquelyn Zong-Li Ross, Art Editor of The Capilano Review; Zool Suleman, Editor and Co-founder of Rungh; Maxine Proctor, Editor of BlackFlash, and Susan Gibb, Executive Director of Western Front representing the former Front Magazine.
