Proximity interview

Rachael and Edmar were interviewed about Proximity magazine on a Bad at Sports podcast.. BAS is an artblog based in chicago. We forgot to post about it. Here is a link.

Proximity #2 > we are going to rock you world.

The next issue of Proximity covers a wide range of under represented cultural metropoles, artist run spaces, art scenes in small places, and much much more. Turn in your frequent flier miles and get ready to meet your new neighbors.

We'll be sharing stories and making personal introductions to some spaces, creators and projects from Helsinki, Seattle, Miami, Reykjavik, Salt Lake City, Rotterdam, Madison, Haiti, Copenhagen, Champaign/Urbana, Kansas City and, of course, Chicago.

Bring your pillow.

Call for Writers and Interns: Proximity magazine.

This is a last call for contributors for our second issue which we are working on right now. We need your words by July 11, 2008. If you want to start simple then give us a holler and email to ed(at)proximitymagazine.com and Mairead.case(at)gmail.com. Send us a proposal or ask us how you can be part of the plan.

Proximity is accepting applications for internships. The commitment is unpaid, and lasts 10-15 hours per week for 3-4 months. Ideal candidates are hard-working, self-starting, meticulous, and interested in culture and politics. Interns help with administration, work at monthly events, research on new projects, and more. You will get first-hand experience in exhibition programming, special events, fundraising and development, and administrative operations. To apply, contact Rachael(at)proximitymagazine.com
