Back up

Freshly relaunched.

Changes to the project will be posted here.

Wait, what the hell happened?

Wherein the author explains what's going on around here.

 

I've moved the site to an upgraded Plone version (3.1.7). Lots of the existing images and articles were wrapped in modules for the old version that weren't compatible with the new, so I've archived them and will be adding them back to the site bit by bit over the next couple weeks. If you need immediate access to your interview, please let me know & I'll send you some files.

Also underway are pretty significant changes to the structure and aims of project muster & the magazine.

The overall strategic thrust of project muster will remain the same-- shed light on the ways that language and conventions shape how artists view themselves and their practice-- though the tactics are about to change.

It's a pretty ominous time for starting a new publishing project and I'm freelancing full-time now, with fewer untethered resources for managing the editorial end of a startup print zine. All that adds up to a needed shift in the project, hopefully, in the long run, for the better.

Heyartistgetinterviewed.com will be back up pretty soon, with a new direction. I'm going to be spending my focus on helping to match up artists and interviewers, and will be spending less time transcribing, editing, and posting the results of those interviews. HAGI.com will be reassembled to act as a service for both artists and journalists to find each other.

Mustermagazine.com will be back up soon, too. We'll continue to present original interviews with artists and will be reblogging interviews from around the web.

And, there are some new things I'm working on that I won't jinx by talking about until they're ready.
