Bringing new meaning to “pop-up,” the archive takes to the streets…
A Meaningful Life by L.J. Davis
November 10, 2009 – 10:00 am
So much to say about this book touching on the deadening effects of mindless employment, on marital dysfunction, middle-class preoccupations, dipsomania, and realty. Real estate, the unfailing conversation starter for those deeming themselves worthy of being called New Yorkers, trumps all of the subplots in L.J. Davis’s very dark comedy.
The Intraview
November 6, 2009 – 4:12 pm
Over the years, BOMB magazine has amassed hundreds of interviews between artists. If you read closely, the interviews begin to speak to themselves. Some of them are related by topic, medium, genre, or social network. When the articles themselves begin relating to their interiority, they collectively build an intraview, a reflexive look. Following is a hyper-linked collage to the latest archived interviews presented as a mock-up of the intraview.

The Invisible Issue
October 23, 2009 – 5:15 pm
It’s week seven on the TimeBOMB countdown, but we may just have all the interviews archived a bit sooner than expected. But for now, let’s look back to Winter 1998 and BOMB’s switch from saddle stitch, to perfect binding. After 11 years with perfect, we’re back in the saddle now.

Lars von Trier’s ANTICHRIST
October 23, 2009 – 11:51 am
When Antichrist premiered at Cannes, the Internet went buzzing. Critics lambasted it as gratuitously violent, scatterbrained, and misogynistic. Director Lars von Trier, meanwhile, kept up his auteur-of-doom persona and, at a press conference, crowned himself the best film director in the world.

October 19, 2009 – 12:29 pm
For the last five years, Robert Crumb, the father of underground comix, has been laboring over a graphic retelling of the first book of the Bible.
Week 8: Capturing Flux
October 16, 2009 – 2:50 pm
We’ve got eight weeks to go until all our interviews are archived…Whether be it a poet writing a novel in three nights, men painted blue making music with Cap’n Crunch cereal, or a painter using the floor as her canvas, something unites the artists in BOMB’s interviews. Plucking through the archives over the past few weeks, it seems that several artists allude to a similar phenomenon in their work: an acknowledgement of the unknown.The Labyrinth
October 9, 2009 – 4:04 pm
In week 9 of our TimeBOMB countdown, Ries Murphy treats us to quotes from interviews with Dennis Cooper, David Seidner, and Jodi Long.
GLORY HOLE and THE HOT TUB
October 5, 2009 – 10:52 am
Remember the old pulp novels-two-in-one, back-to-back and upside-down? When you finished one, you could flip the book over and read the other. This binding style, called tête-bêche (head-to-toe) was never taken up by “finer” literature (but imagine a Jean Rhys tête-bêche with The Crack-Up)—until now, with Mal-O-Mar’s release of Dan Hoy and Jon Leon’s poetry collections, The Hot Tub and Glory Hole.
