This ongoing series of interviews with artists is a vital resource for the understanding of contemporary art practice today. Artists include, Titus Kaphar discussing his attempts to amend the white supremacist mythology contained in American monuments and historical paintings; Melissa Potter on feminism and the challenges to craft practices posed by patriarchy and the artworld; and Gideon Jacobs discussing the historical legacy of photograph as document, and our post-modern dystopia. 

Theory + Practice is a series supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation. 

BOMB Magazine has been publishing conversations between artists of all disciplines since 1981. BOMB’s founders—New York City artists and writers—decided to publish dialogues that reflected the way practitioners spoke about their work among themselves. Today, BOMB is a nonprofit, multi-platform publishing house that creates, disseminates, and preserves artist-generated content from interviews to artists’ essays to new literature. BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.
