One time I tried writing about art and let me tell you it was no 50 cent bag of lollies. It was hard. Some people make it look easy, but reading their articles is sort of like watching Tom Pietrowski's finance report. You desperately want to share in the excitement, but you have no idea what he's lisping about. Other people, like the un Projects committee, make it look easy, AND they make a magazine people can understand.
This issue is edited by freelance curator Zara Stanhope and sub-edited by Jared Davis. There is a myth-busting analysis of the West Brunswick Sculpture Triennial by Brad Haylock, and an interview with experimental musician 'Jim Denley', which could convince even the hardest old jazz beret that it's jive to play harmonics in the bush.
Designed by Sam Moffat and Warren Taylor, un 3.1 includes artworks by Alex Martinis Roe, Alex Selenitsch and Matthew Shannon as well as the regular features and reviews. Apparently there's also a titillating gatefold, but I've only seen the PDF layout so I'm not sure what they mean. I hope it is not a picture of Alex Vivian. (And now, so does Alex.)
