Cabinet Magazine, Pastelegram, and Triple Canopy come together for this Tuesday Evenings presentation to consider and discuss the vibrant life and perceived challenges of today's art publications. Each has thoughtfully considered its unique contribution to a discourse that keeps us all engaged and informed, encouraging our intellectual curiosity to face the challenge of not becoming complacent in a gluttonous world of information that can leave us knowing and caring about less rather than more.

San Francisco-based artist Barry McGee developed an early and impassioned following for his unsanctioned work on the streets of San Francisco under tags such as "Twist," "Ray Fong," and "Lydia Fong." With dynamic images that use the visual chaos of the street to address urban class tension and are inspired by a variety of sources such as hobo art, sign painting, graffiti comics, and Beat literature, McGee now has an international exhibition record that includes shows at Deitch Projects, UCLA Hammer Museum, Foundation Cartier in Paris, and Fondazione Prada in Milan

Andrew Solomon is the author of the novel A Stone Boat and The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, winner of fourteen national awards, including the 2001 National Book Award, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a New York Times bestseller, now published in twenty-two languages.
