Composite {Arts Magazine}

This project is believed to be defunct. (November 2015)

About

Composite is a quarterly electronic publication aiming to showcase visual and literary works from guest artists, both emerging and established, focused around an issue specific theme. Seeking a continued communal and artistic dialogue among artists at all levels and mediums, we strive to create a space where one can view and consider works that may not be shown together traditionally. In doing so, we hope to create a collaborative exhibition space that exists somewhere between a magazine and a gallery. Composite is available in a widely accessible electronic format so that it may become a shared platform not limited by physical location. Our publication is distributed as a free downloadable PDF that can be viewed on any computer or E-reader. Composite is based in Chicago and San Francisco.
