One of the editors of this amazing online journal/magazine, published out of Montreal, just drew my attention to the existence of no more potlucks. The magazine “focuses on arts, activism and politics across Canada from coast to coast” with a decidedly feminist slant and is organized into six thematic issues a year.
Jess Dobkin, Mirrorball, 2008Issues are published online for free every two months at their website and back issues are available as print-on-demand as well. I highly recommend the current article/interviews with academic luminary Ann Cvetkovich and Toronto artist and sometimes-mirrorball Jess Dobkin. While it’s sometimes trying to wade through long articles online, no more potlucks (a sentiment I couldn’t agree with more, by the way) manages to walk the line between critical academic writing and conversational description, which makes it an engaging read.
Looks fun, Gabby! Thanks for pointing this one out.
One question that comes to mind about that Jess Dobkin work, though, whenever I see it – Lynne Marsh did something very similar in video form, transforming herself into a mirrorball. Wonder if each was/is aware of the other's take?
