3.0 out of 5 stars Nice magazine, but..., September 6, 2005

This review is from: Juxtapoz (Magazine)

I have been a faithful and enthusiastic Juxtapoz reader for a couple of years now. It showcases young, interesting artists, and offers a fresh perspective to those of us tired of the too-often pretentious , too-rarely insipred high brow arts scene. It has relatively little advertising, and most of it is arty and cool so I don't mind it.

However... I have grown increasingly disappointed at how parochial and incestuous Juxtapoz has become. Issue after issue, I see the same artists, doing roughly the same things at the same galleries: Roq la Rue. La Luz De Jesus. Copro Nason. Marion Peck. Mark Ryden. Tim Biskup. Lather, rinse, repeat. No matter how much I admire these artists, I would just expect more diversity and openness from a magazine that's supposed to showcase alternative, indie art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art by and for Outsiders, September 30, 2004

This review is from: Juxtapoz (Magazine)

I teach at an art school...all I can say is that this magazine keeps me sane! There have been lots of phrases coined to describe art that can't or won't fit into the neat little Academic Art boxes. Terms like "Outsider Art" "Outre" and "Retro" are all illustrated in this amazing publication. If you want the ultra-chi-chi Post-Modern A Go-Go stuff that sells in most galleries today, look elsewhere. Juxtapoz is art by people who like to make art. Anything goes, and the Art Speak is refreshingly absent or toned down. The editors have a sharp eye for quality however, so don't worry about this being another "Anything can be art" experience. It's fun the way your first Hot Rod magazine was, or Low Rider, or Famous Monsters, or Vampirella, etc. If you're tired of the current wave of ultra self-absorbed Art, this is just the tonic you crave....

4.0 out of 5 stars High brow, low brow...however you define 'art' this mag's A+, September 1, 2004

This review is from: Juxtapoz (Magazine)

Juxtapoz is a glossy that focuses particularly on low-brow art (e.g., works that aren't usually seen in mainstream cultural institutions.) While Los Angeles is their home-base, they make efforts to highlight talents world-wide that are normally under the radar - tattoo artists, graffiti artists, muralists, etc...
Great features on emerging and in-their prime artists with wonderful layouts of artwork, the magazine often features full color pull-outs.

Despite heavy advertisements for artists and galleries that often look like mirror-images of each other (which isn't necessarily the magazines' fault but more of a lack of expansion of subject matter on the artists' behalf) and editorial that sometimes feels to focus primarily on California-based artists, Juxtapoz is an established magazine that does a great job of covering art that's rarely given a spotlight.
