Titled after Duchamp’s Fountain, Mutt Art Review considers the encounter with a work of art to be a starting point for a new literary work of its own.
Four times per year, we print essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, diaries, and experiments. We foster writing that is sharp, alive, and takes risks in attempting to evaluate what is meaningful in the art experience.
Each issue presents readers with portfolios by artists past and present who are at the wellspring of contemporary culture, from Ted Joans’ irreverent Lady Liberty collages to Bettina’s conceptual photographs to Sam Anderson’s witty, surreal drawings.
We encourage a range of opinions in a spirit of debate. Art is looked at in context, with an emphasis on metropolitan New York, and an ear to the ideas, music, films, scenes, and conditions that texture the lives of artists.
“The magazine is both classy and DIY, like a boutique zine… Conceptually, it plays with publishing models, and shifts—in small but significant ways—how readers experience not only criticism, but art itself.”
