MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHT: LTTR
LTTR is an annual collectively made art journal from a community of
queer and feminist artists, writers and cultural producers. The first
issue was titled "Lesbians To The Rescue" -- the second "Listen
Translate Translate Record." Each issue is handmade and unique, with a
format that defies magazine conventions. The new third issue is many
loose pieces -- booklets and single sheets of paper -- wrapped in a
screenprinted manila envelope and with the theme "Practice More
Failure" -- seeking to enthuse process and practice as opposed to the
masterpiece. Artists featured in LTTR 3 include Aisha Burnes, Carrie
Moyer, Eileen Myles, Ulrike Mueller, Suzy Liar, Tammy Rae Carland, K8
Hardy and many others. We have limited copies available of each of the
three issues. http://www.lttr.org/
