Shomaging Artforum Magazine
Yesterday in what may be the first instance of "showmaging" I sat in Barnes and Noble and took pictures of articles in Artform Magazine. I love Artforum and used to buy it regularly, but I can't imagine such passive consumption now.
Now I want to be involved and if content isn't on my pad or laptop it doesn't exist. Yes I prefer books, but books are a bigger commitment.
