MFJ 71/72 “CRISIS”

Double Issue, Limited Edition

 

Our most substantial issue since 1986, the Fall/Spring 2020 issue is an exclusive double-sized limited edition including:

 

Our response to COVID 19 pandemic:
We asked artists, writers, curators, and viewers how they managed their personal and creative lives during the coronavirus Shelter-in-Place. Their answers came in texts, poetry, and images. Our editors also reviewed some of the many programs, festivals and exhibitions that were relocated online.

Not just a reference to the virus…
CRISIS reflects on the important turning points of these unprecedented times. The latest issue includes discussions of films and video works that engage the systemic racism crisis pervading American society and elsewhere, and the climate crisis that is already upon us with devastating consequences.

And much more!
We have all of our usual content including artist pages, remembrances of friends and colleagues recently lost, frame enlargements, photographs, drawings and more!

 

 

*MFJ No. 71 was scheduled for publication in April 2020, when the COVID-19 crisis was raging around the world. The Editors decided to publish it in Fall 2020 as part of a double-size issue, Nos. 71/72. For more information about this decision, please see the MFJ NEWSLETTER.</small>
