THE RIB

CO-FOUNDER + CREATIVE DIRECTOR

 

The Rib publishes commentary and criticism in the form of reviews, editorials, interviews, and essays that connects artists, spaces, curators, and advocates working outside of major arts communities in the United States.

Smaller cities foster dynamic art making that demands a comprehensive critical platform in order for artists and their advocates to freely exchange ideas and opportunities. The Rib is founded on the belief that critical coverage leads to dialogue, dialogue leads to a strong network, and connectivity leads to greater social and economic viability. Like a physical rib--a small but essential bone within a network of other to protect a pulsing organ-- The Rib continuously expands and contracts to facilitate a flow of dialogue and critique in order to collapse boundaries between communities and audiences. To that end, we seek to connect, collaborate with, and safeguard organs of art making on the American periphery.

We are interested in hearing from anyone and everyone. Please send a note to rib@the-rib.net with any thoughts you have. To submit work, writing or a concept to us, please go to our submissions page.
