The Third Year

More »Introduction
August 16, 2012. We're wrapping up another year of issue production, and in honor of the occasion, we've asked some of our writers to reflect on the events of the past twelve months. Art Practical was created to foster and document investments of time with artists: in the studio, at the bar, in the gallery, at the opening. Overtly, there is the structure each issue configures, the categorization of information into features, reviews, events, and news. Behind that structure is a more amorphous exchange of ideas and observations that happens continually and casually but that catalyzes production and action. There are multiple ways in which the editors and writers make the effort to bring this interchange to light; as this issue shows, what is most notable about our encounters with art and artists is the extent to which we aspire to share them.
