Documents: A Magazine of Contemporary Art and Visual Culture

Last updated

Documents: A Magazine of Contemporary Art and Visual Culture was a triannual arts magazine published between 1992 and 2004. The five founding editors were Chris Hoover, Miwon Kwon, James Marcovitz, Helen Molesworth and Margaret Sundell. [1] Based out of New York City and later Los Angeles, the publication ran for twenty-three issues and employed an interdisciplinary approach to its content. According to art historian Julian Meyers the journal enabled, "new conversations among disciplines and irreverent new styles of critical writing drawn from 'marginal domains' like queer activism and punk subculture." [2] The magazine included contributions in the form of surveys, questionnaires, reviews and artist projects from such notable figures as: T. J. Clark, Mieke Bal, Gregg Bordowitz and Tom Burr among many others. The publication is currently indexed in the Getty Research Institute's Bibliography of the History of Art and the Alternative Press Index.

The Papers of Thomas Jefferson is a multi-volume scholarly edition devoted to the publication of the public and private papers of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. The project, established at Princeton University, is the definitive edition of documents written by or to Jefferson. Work on the series began in 1944 and was undertaken solely at Princeton until 1998, when responsibility for editing documents from Jefferson's post-presidential retirement years, 1809 until 1826, shifted to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation at Monticello. This enabled work to progress simultaneously on two different periods of Jefferson's life and thereby doubled the production of volumes without compromising the high standards set for the project.
