The Ganzfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ganzfeld is an art magazine created by three New York City artists in 2000 -- Dan Nadel, Patrick Smith (of Vectorpark.com) and Tim Hodler (a Details editor)-- all former art graduates of Washington University. In this way, it is similar to the Meathaus anthology, created by artists who attended the New York School of Visual Arts.
After the first issue, Smith and Hodler left the publication due to creative differences and were replaced by Peter Buchanan-Smith, art director for The New York Times.
The Ganzfeld combines art and art criticism, much of it related to comic books and cartoonists. Contributors include Chris Ware, Lauren Weinstein, Renée French, Ron Rege, Jr., Sasha Hirschfeld, Peter Blegvad, Blexbolex and Brian Ralph.
Buchanan-Smith left in 2005 and now Nadel is the sole editor of the anthology. It continues to come out annnually, with a new issue planned for March 2007. As well, Nadel and Hodler created a new magazine for comics criticism, Comics Comics, in 2006.
