I was enticed by an article about stucco corpses painted on the walls of a Baroque church in Palermo and how artist Giacomo Serpotta could "impart life and motion to all unlikely entities, such as abstract virtues and tired old scriptural stories." This article (along with browsing some of the media and links) tipped the balance and made me choose... "Cabinet" @ http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/
as my field report journal.

Lydell - this is the best reason offered - the most precise, most articulated - for choosing a journal to follow. Sounds like a most enticing reason.
And I think you'll find it a rewarding pursuit. Or, that is to say I always enjoy perusing (opening?) Cabinet. It seems more curated than edited, its chosen themes unexpected, whimsical even, but leading to some captivating essays and provocations.
I may like Cabinet because it seems as interested in reinventing the form of the magazine as in sharing he essays and artwork that it publishes. The library, alas, does not carry the magazine - but if you wanted to look at a hard copy, Schwartz's usually has a copy on their newstand.
The online version does have a gallery of sorts. I encourage you to look at the other links - there is a link to a Guy Be-ner video for instance on the current site.
All to say - I look forward to your posts. Be sure to check out the guidelines for the second round of blogs now posted on the D2L site. Those posts are due by 29 October.
