Bringing new meaning to “pop-up,” the archive takes to the streets…
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.
Tagged Allen Frame, Betsy Sussler, Carl Ostendarp, Cora Cohen, Craig Fisher, Fiona Rae, Gianfranco Giorgioni, John Heys, John Zinsser, Leonard Bullock, Louise Fishman, Michael McClard, Onoe Kuroemon II, Richard J. Goldstein, Saul Ostrow, Shirley Kaneda

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.

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.
Tagged Blue Man Group, Darrell Larson, Eric Kraft, Gran Fury, Gregory Crane, Hedda Sterne, Ida Applebroog, Jaclyn Alexander, Jill Baroff, Lauren Szold, Li Young Lee, Paul Beatty, Phil Hartman, Simon Lane

Every week, Lena and I review the progress on the archive project. We tally up the articles that have been through multiple proofs and end up in the “ready-to-go” folder on the database. This assortment is usually a motley crew of articles that we have reached for out of relevance, “still-hotness,” or taste…(I usually make a dive for the ‘80s visual artists!) though all shall and will be archived.
Tagged Carl Apfelschnitt, Cornelius Eady, Don Scardino, Eric Mitchell, Gary Indiana, Illeana Douglas, James Nares, Michael Bell, Mira Schor, Robbie Robertson, Robert Greene, Sarah Schulman, Terrance Simien, Todd Ayoung, Tom DiCillo
