''Coagula Art Journal'' was founded in 1992 by Mat Gleason as a freely distributed contemporary art magazine. Since its inception, the publication remains free as a PDF download, however readers may still obtain a hard copy via "print on demand". The bi-coastal publication employs tabloid-style commentary, gossip, and reviews of the contemporary art world, which garnered significant influence in being cited in other major publications.〔DiGiacomo, F & Molloy, J: ''Page 6'', ''New York Post'', August 18, 1992〕〔DiGiacomo, F & Anthony, F. & McDarrah, T: ''Page 6'', ''New York Post'', March 11, 1993〕〔Johnson, R: ''Page 6'', ''New York Post'', October 28, 1996〕 The magazine has been referred to as "the publication that the art world loves to hate, and loves to read" (Village Voice)〔()〕 and dubbed "The National Enquirer of the Art World" (''New York Post'').〔()〕 It has also been described as having "nothing constructive about it and arguably hurtful."〔Pike, L: ''Art Terrorist'', ''Glue Magazine'', 51(1):5〕 In 1998, Smart Art Press released ''Most Art Sucks: Five Years of Coagula''.〔()〕 In 1999, ''Coagula'' selected Karen Finley as ''Artist Of The Decade''. On March 16, 2001, Coagula won a free speech lawsuit, brought against the publication by Brooklyn resident Ms. Sheh Zand. Sheh’s 1992 lawsuit was over articles appearing in ''Coagula'' issues #3 and #4, and was covered by ''New York Magazine''.,〔(Coagula Lawsuit )〕〔()〕 and the Boston Globe〔()〕 In February 2011, Mat Gleason, founder of Coagula Art Journal, was interviewed by art critic Brian Sherwin for FineArtViews. Gleason stated that Coagula Art Journal was deeply influenced by the writing style of punk zines. He mentioned that Coagula Art Journal will eventually explore internet radio with the launch of CoaguL.A.radio which will provide coverage of the art world. Gleason also stated that “print is dead” and that future releases of Coagula Art Journal will come in the form of a book rather than of a traditional magazine.〔("FineArtViews Interview: Mat Gleason -- Art Critic and Founder of Coagula Art Journal by Brian Sherwin" ), www.faso.com/fineartviews .

Retrieved 09 March 2011.〕 In April 2012, Gleason launched Coagula Curatorial, a contemporary art gallery on Chinatown's historic Chung King Road. Following the same spirit as the magazine, the gallery has hosted solo shows by contemporary artists such as Karen Finley, Kim Dingle, Gronk, Llyn Foulkes, Sheree Rose and others. The gallery also utilizes guest curators, who have included other prominent artists in Coagula exhibitions such as: John Fleck, Diane Gamboa, Germs, Peter Shelton, Gajin Fujita, Sue de Beer, and others. ==Contributors (past and present)== * Mat Gleason * Gordy Grundy * Alan Bamberger * Jim Caron * Tulsa Kinney * Jeff Gillette 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coagula Art Journal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
