BOMB is psyched to announce a series of BOMB interviews appearing on The Root. In conjunction with the completion of the BOMB Digital Archive, BOMB has worked with the editors of The Root and The Root contributor Adda Birnir to select 13 vintage interviews from the last 28 years that connect with The Root readers—making old interviews new again for a whole new readership. They’ve called the series “BOMB the Root,” and we could not be more honored to be featured on their website.

Jane Campion spoke with BOMB about doomed love in 1990, and her critically acclaimed new film ‘Bright Star‘ (Sept. 18) continues the theme. The New Yorker Festival‘s “Shouts & Murmurs Live” (Oct. 16-18) will feature Noah Baumbach and a performance by Steve Earle amongst many others. Visitors to Whitney’s Biennial in Greenpoint, featuring Kara Walker, found this instead of her artwork. The latest Bookforum reviews the new novels from Jonathan Lethem, Richard Powers and Padgett Powell. Vito Acconci introduces a screening of Resnais’ ‘Last Year at Marienbad‘ at the Rubin Museum of Art (Sept. 25). Current and forthcoming exhibitions featuring BOMB interviewees include a major Anish Kapoor show (Sept. 26) at the Royal Academy in London (watch a video of Kapoor’s ‘Shooting Into the Corner’, featured in the exhibition), and you can catch Vera Lutter in New York (until Sept. 12), or Cindy Sherman (until Sept. 19) in LA at the Gagosian Gallery.
