MFJ Nos. 52, 56, & 57 Bundle

With this bundle, you will receive three MFJ volumes handpicked by our senior editor Grahame Weinbren at a discounted price.

The bundle contains:

MFJ 52 “Presence”
This issue contains articles on high definition video, 1970s UK film & video installation, and works by Phil Solomon.

MFJ 56 “Material Practice: From Sprockets to Binaries”
The topics discussed in this particular issue are so widespread, so integral in the current climate of artists’ moving image culture, and so expansive beyond that culture, that the metaphor is more apt than ever. In the so-called digital age, binary technologies are embedded everywhere we look, but, as the artists discussed in this issue demonstrate, this does not eradicate the complex crossovers and fissures between the Analog and the Digital, between works grounded in the laws of optics and chemistry and those grounded in the laws of mathematics.

MFJ 57 “Violence in Artists’ Cinema”
We are born in violence. And we live in violence. Yet, too often we feel these facts should be denied. What horror might befall us if we sought to embrace the abject and explore our darker impulses? What if we were to find such pleasure in these dark regions that we decide to never return? The articles, reviews, and artist pages in this issue treat these questions – delving into works that both contemplate and enact various ‘violent’ acts.
