BOMB magazine: artists' interviews online (USA) |

|
BOMB Magazine has been publishing in-depth interviews between artists about the creative process since 1981. BOMB began as a late night conversation among a group of friends— writers, directors, and artists— when someone said: "Wouldn't it be great if we started a magazine where we could speak about our work the way we speak about it amongst ourselves?" One year and many conversations later, the first issue of BOMB went to press on a $3,000 loan. BOMB has since grown into a national magazine with over 70 professional artists, writers, actors, directors, and musicians serving on our editorial board. Twenty years later BOMB's mission remains intact: To promote an understanding and appreciation of the arts through conversations about the arts, by the people who make the arts. Focusing on ideas rather than personalities, BOMB interviews delve into discussions of process and aesthetics, allowing for the emergence of complex and varied positions on artmaking and life. These interviews are primary documents of American cultural history. BOMB's online Archive Project was initiated with funding from National Endowment for the Arts Heritage and Preservation and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. BOMB has published 600 in-depth interviews on art, literature, theatre, film, and music during the past 20 years which hopefully will be mounted on their site in due time.
