Spring Issue No. 65
now available

www.artlies.org

Art Lies’ Spring Issue, No. 65, The Back Forty, was conceived by Guest Editorial Contributor and San Antonio, Texas-based artist Chris Sauter. Typically, the “back forty” are acres of uncultivated land on a farm or ranch, an area considered beyond the reach of conventional use. Accordingly, the issue explores myths of the “rural,” the porous borders between nature and culture and the exchanges—positive and problematic—between periphery and center. To explain the recent proliferation of artist-initiated agricultural/gardening projects and references to rodeos, taxidermy and vernacular architecture in international contemporary art, Sauter proposes a “rural avant-garde.”

Issue No. 65 features contributions by: Jennifer Davy, Buster Graybill, Ben Judson/Emily Morrison, Richard Saxton, Rosemary Shirley, Hills Snyder, Kurt Wagner, Allison Weise, Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson, and cover artist Amy Stein.

Upcoming Issues:
Summer Issue, No. 66, Stupidity, will be edited by Art Lies editor-in-chief Anjali Gupta in tandem with assistant editor Kurt Mueller, with contributions by Joanna Fiduccia, Charles Gute, Caitlin Haskell, The Joanna, Chris Sharp/Justin Lieberman, Tony Matelli, and Jill Pangallo. Our Guest Editorial Contributor for the Fall Issue, No. 67, will be the Bruce High Quality Foundation. This New York-based collective of anonymous artists has taken the art world by storm with witty staged lectures, thought-provoking installations and alternative art-school environments. The Bruce High Quality Foundation was recently selected for 2010, the Whitney Biennial, in addition they organized their own simultaneous Brucennial.
