Editorial
Hello and welcome to Variant 2. For new readers let us introduce ourselves.
What you have in your hands is an independently produced 'art'
magazine, which is distributed free in the UK and abroad. We take art
to mean culture and how culture is formed, Variant makes a contribution
to this through the work of our writers. Variant is not run by the Arts
Council or a district council; this gives the magazine more freedom of
expression: the freedom to criticise is something which is dying out in
the UK. Variant is produced by a small group of individuals with the support
of the artistic community. We feel that Variant can also be appreciated
by a broader public. All of the contributers are individuals working in
the visual arts. The writing in the magazine is 'critical';
we see this as meaning that it should function as a forum for writers
to document, report, explore, analyse and express their ideas and arguments.
We welcome contributions and also criticisms of the magazine itself from
our readers.
