The Editors
Los Angeles, CA + Portland, ME
Against time, selves, providence, we did not achieve the gift to America we had conceived of months ago. But so be it! In the end we’re landing minimal, minus the color of, say, DeWain Valentine’s Large Wall we stood before, dumbfoundedly delivered from history, in the twenty-teens — a markless work, which no image online gets at all close to representing. We are proud of our austere palette. Surely the two pieces here will carry the day. Find Jasminne Morataya’s heartbreaking report from an Altadena that is no more. Eco-social murder? And dig down with Alex Tabaka’s latest exchange between Plato and Christ — an erudite rehearsal of a most ancient motif.
Happy Birthday, Lady Liberty,
We hope the scales fall off soon.
