PUBLICSFEAR

Published by Publicsfear Press Ltd (1992—94). Format: Saddle-stitched art zine, 8 1/2 x 11 inches; 3 issues.

In 1992, I founded, designed, and coedited (with Pamela A. Ivinski) the contemporary art zine publicsfear, which received prominent mentions in Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Parachute, and The Village Voice (in which columnist Robert Atkins called it "an elegant and engrossing new art mag [which] is my idea of what Tina Brown's New Yorker should be"). We published three issues between 1992 and 1994; these included contributions from Rirkrit Tiravanija, Andrew Bush, Douglas Coupland, Alix Pearlstein, Gareth Jones, Daniel Clowes, Elizabeth Peyton, Matthew Higgs, Meg Cranston, Sean Landers, Hilary Lloyd, Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, Kathe Burkhart, and many other artists, writers, and musicians, a number of whom came to prominence in subsequent years. A fourth issue, never produced due to a lack of funds, would have included artist’s projects by Doug Aitken, Jeffrey Vallance, and Fiona Banner, as well as an essay by David Sedaris.
