BOMB

A few artists, writers, and actors are sitting around a kitchen table. And I say, Let's start a magazine: one where artists are able to speak about their work the way in which we speak about it amongst ourselves. And everyone says, Great idea, let’s do it. One year and many conversations later, the first issue of BOMB went to press on a $3,000 loan.

BOMB Magazine was founded in 1981 as an artists' and writers' quarterly dedicated to presenting work in its own light, and artists’ and writers' conversations in their own words.
