The Best Art in the World

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Born-digital Whitehot goes to print. For two decades, the magazine's online format nurtured fiercely independent, "orthogonal perspectives" and reached global and North American peripheries alike. Now the book format-including the magazine's commitments to painting and distinctly wide-ranging interviews-prompts much-needed art historical assessment of both Whitehot's "primary sources" and the beginnings of twenty-first-century art." - Christine Mehring, University of Chicago and Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton



"I love this collection of 20 years of Whitehot! The interviews, reviews, and articles are my ticket to ride a big tent art world magic bus that leaves the Port Authority and touches down all over the world to fill up on creativity-and art that matters. If you're tired of the same old form of the art industrial complex, I guarantee you'll leave this grand tour renewed and refreshed." - David Raskin, Mohn Family Professor of Contemporary Art History, School of the Art Institute of Chicago



"This is what an independent art magazine looks like in an age when most of the others have become barely discernible flavors of a single soulless franchise. A publication created by an artist who wanted to create his own terms of engagement with the art world, populated with opinions that, like fire, need air to spread, Whitehot proves that codependence is integral to the vitality of independence." - Whitehot book blurb-Carlo McCormick
