Magazine / Organization

BOMB Magazine has been publishing conversations between artists of all disciplines since 1981. BOMB’s founders – New York City based artists and writers – created BOMB because they saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way critics described it.

Today, BOMB is a multi-media publishing house that creates, disseminates, and preserves artist-generated content from interviews to artists’ essays to new literature. BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.

Mellon Foundation, BOMB has made all of its content – over 7,500 primary cultural documents from the past 37 years – available for free.

The Oral History Project is a series of interviews that documents and preserves the life-stories of NYC-based African-American visual artists.
