I am very proud to announce the official release of <strong>Revolt</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>, <strong>Issue</strong> 2. Much has happened since the premiere, and The <strong>Revolt</strong> staff has been hard at work bringing you the latest news, humor, opinions and fantasies at the juncture of Art and Social Change. In this volume you’ll find more on the latest developments on the Occupy Wall Street front including the Occupy Museum movement and a selected poem from the official OWS Poetry Anthology. We’ve expanded our Gallery View section, which now boasts Rob Reed reviews of exhibitions in four major Chelsea galleries in addition to Dan Callahan’s new Cinema and Literary Review sections. We’re talking about Economy – Art & Economy (in an exciting, unprecedented interview with Asher IN THIS ISSUE: volume 1 no. 2 • may/june 2012 Edelman), The Gift Economy (Richard Leslie’s The Invisible Artist) and the Alternative Economy (Pink Ghetto interview with Soho20 Director Jenn Dierdorf). <strong>Revolt</strong> <strong>Issue</strong> 2 brings you Gentrification Erotica, thoughts about Urban Chic by new contributing writer Lena Vazifdar and a sneak peak of a new graphic novel by David Hales. We’ve expanded our staff and our distribution so that <strong>Revolt</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> will now be available in Boston through a partnership with Suzanne Schultz of Canvas FineArt. So read away, read carefully and read critically. We’d love to hear your thoughts about our content and as always, urge you to help us keep creativity and free speech thriving in and around New York City.
