Publishing has been a fundamental pillar of contemporary art’s existence. Whether as incubators for mythology-building; or becoming settings for communities to emerge, art is impossible to think outside of publications, as magazines, books, journals or today’s online forms. Ben Eastham is someone whose work wedges exactly on this territory; founding editor of The White Review, Former Editor of Art Review, and the current editor-in-chief of art-agenda. We hear his take on art publishing as creative practice; writing and editing as a means of re-scripting and re-positioning works of art; and his first-hand take on the notorious Power 100 list of the Art Review magazine.
