"I believe in everything Artforum represents as a rigorously edited outlet for deeply thoughtful, nuanced writing about art and culture—writing more urgent and productively undisciplined than both academic prose and advertorial content."
"A key refrain was the importance of sustaining a dialogue that is truly international in this dire moment of renewed nationalisms; to that end, we privileged the idea of our collective output as an asynchronous, global conversation."
"I find it all the more important for those of us who share common cause to gather and exchange ideas offline, given the threats of AI slop and algorithmic censorship."
"We launched new formats in the interest of promoting our core values and being more relevant to our readers, all of which emphasized substantive commentary over mere publicity."
The Editor in Chief reflects on two years of leadership at Artforum, emphasizing the importance of nuanced writing about art and culture. The magazine evolved to support a global conversation, addressing the rise of nationalisms. New formats were introduced, including interviews and web anthologies, to enhance relevance and promote core values. Live events were organized to facilitate offline exchanges of ideas. A redesign of the magazine's visual aesthetic was also implemented, marking a significant change in its presentation.
