Zach - A good choice, I think. Can I ask: what made you select it?
A number of your colleagues are also reading Cabinet this semester. What I told another -
I think you'll find Cabinet a rewarding pursuit. Or, that is to say I always enjoy perusing (opening?) Cabinet. It seems more curated than edited, its chosen themes unexpected, whimsical even, but leading to some captivating essays and provocations.
I may like Cabinet because it seems as interested in reinventing the form of the magazine as in sharing the essays and artwork that it publishes. The library, alas, does not carry the magazine - but if you wanted to look at a hard copy, Schwartz's usually has a copy on their newstand.
The online version does have a gallery of sorts. I encourage you to look at the other links - there is a link to a Guy Be-ner video for instance on the current site.
All to say - I look forward to your and your classmates' posts. You may want to comment on the _form_ of Cabinet - its catalogue of contributions. What sort of discussion do they generate? What sort of sense of boundaries does it have? How does that contribute -- if it does -- to a sense of the possibilities of art, of making? What do you think?
Be sure to check out the guidelines for the second round of blogs now posted on the D2L site. Those posts are due by 29 October.
Don't delay - I'd make post as you immerse yourself in Cabinet. And I'd also be interested in hearing why you selected this publication.
