for everyone involved. I couldn’t think of a better time to address the way we express ourselves, even the sound of our voices, our accents, or the lack of. How do we navigate our surroundings knowing so that we are targeted for how we carry ourselves as humans on this land? Issue 13 seeks to address the freedoms we constantly have to negotiate and what we must leave behind to move forward, including our traditions and ways of behaving in workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools. Mindfully, we must consider the repercussions we may face if we continue to discover who we are becoming or want to be. I had the incredible honor of conducting all the interviews and photographing most of the featured artists this time. I got to know them on a deeper level, a group of brave people. I became aware of things I didn’t know before and enriched my knowledge about what goes on behind the scenes. I am grateful for their time and willingness to want to be a part of this issue. We asked ourselves what freedom means in different contexts, one that sometimes doesn’t exist, and we have to create it to feel free. Despite the distance, borders, and laws, we always strive to keep our traditions passed through our great, grandmothers, and grandfathers who made it to the United States. These interviews reveal the passion artists have to move forward and what it means to define freedom with their practice while showing their vulnerability of being here, right now. While conducting the interviews, I was trying to realize my own freedom, and inspired by their practice, listening to their story, I felt freer. FREEDOM in the shape of US is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and insights into the lives of five artists who are in a constant state of transformation, searching for the true meaning and value of the word freedom. My hope is that this work brings a sense of personality to the practicality of being a member of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities in this time in the United States.

The spring-summer issue introduces selected artists from Metro Detroit, South Dakota, and those living in Canada. Issue 09 is a collection of works born from virtual conversations and social media interactions. These virtual studio visits centered on the artists’ practices and how painting plays a role as a medium in their works. Painting as a medium is regarded as one of the purest forms of art and expression. While it is an expansive art form, painting technique is often the focus. We rarely spend time on the inherent topics the artists are trying to convey. Painting: Conceptually speaking, it’s a language tool rather than an exposed process. It’s a survey of how artists blend other mediums like makeup, sculpture, and performance art together with painting to communicate their message.

The issue is focused on the images that are captured during a performance, how the artists exercise visual imagery to deliver a varied perspective, understanding that there is no public present, just the camera. Often, performance art is intended to be experienced live, in real time, with images functioning as a recording action. The issue features artists who use performance art as a medium, in ways that may lead to a different outcome, or just as experimentation.Featured artists: Adrienne Crossman, Canada @fakechildhoodScott Crandall, US @s.quaredogNadja Pelkey, Canada @easiestprovidencetodrawCristin Richard, US @ttmorossJessica Frelinghuysen US @paperhelmetsJude Abu Zaineh, US/Canada @judewheresmycar_Moira Maloney, US @moiranmaloneyJetshri Bhadviya, US @jethsriErica Gressman, US @no_egressLeslie Rogers, US @buttflincherMelanie Manos, US @melanie_manos Preview Adrienne Crossman Exist – stills from a performance for video (50 minutes).

Neighbors watch each other leave in bags all the time, waiting for their magnificent moment in the corpse parade, under a finely stitched passage quilt. With hundreds of hours of toil necessary to make one piece, quilters today make “passage quilts” [use corners of body bag for air quotes] for this exact purpose. The body fills the body bag, which is folded back to expose the head, and is covered up to the chin with a passage quilt, to create the illusion of sleeeeping... Once the body is in the vehicle, the quilt is folded up and returned to the hospice home for the next to pass.

Thank you, artists, for your patience while we navigate during these difficult times. This issue features some incredible artists from the Metro Detroit area and those from afar in Mexico and Israel. Artists featured: Abel HernándezHilla ShapiraNaama LevitSam AlbaughStephanie MeleZeke Moores &nbsp; 12/09/2020 Barbed is pleased to announce issue #10, Escultura de la Frontera: Border Sculpture. Featuring: Abel Hernández Hilla Shapira Naama Levit Sam Albaugh Stephanie Mele Zeke Moores Barbed’s issue #10 Fall - Winter 2020/2021 With a release date in late December. 09/20/2020 Barbed Magazine is pleased to announce its latest call for submissions: Issue #10, ‘Escultura de la Frontera: Border Sculpture.’ The issue will look at if and how living in border towns influences artists’ work and whether they feel the need to alter their environment to fit into a multicultural landscape surrounded by country limits, barbed-wire fences, industry, bodies of water, border-crossing, scanners, police presence, and, more recently, border closures. Although we live in border towns, it is necessary to say that this is not always on our minds, so it’s intriguing to see how the artwork created has an intrinsic aspect that goes unnoticed or how significant it is to contextualize it in such a way. Issue #10 will emphasize the existent contrast between Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, in Canada. Through their location, the twin cities share some similar aspects in terms of their industries, economies, and cultural specificity. The issue gives particular attention to works created by members of minority groups and artists that have called either of these cities their home. All work created within the last two years will be considered. Finished or in-progress pieces will be accepted. Also, submissions in the form of proposals, sketches, writings, and notes will be considered. The selected artist will receive an honorarium upon confirmation of funds. More information can be found here. 04/15/2020 We are in the process of launching a new site called barbedmag.art - featuring all of the artists that have been a part of Barbed during these six years! Stay tuned for the release date, as we finish a few details. 03/23/2020 Barbed magazine is pleased to announce the upcoming Spring/Summer issue entitled "Painting: Conceptually Speaking." The issue will be available online-only for the time being, as although we have been committed to producing each issue in high-quality print format, due to the current state of world events and uncertain funding, we have decided to suspend the regular 'printing' schedule temporarily. The new issue will include works selected from artists living in Metro Detroit, including Canada. The Spring/Summer issue will be based on virtual conversations, and studio visits focused on each of the artists' practices and how painting as a medium plays a role in their works. Painting as a subject or as a medium is regarded as one of the purest forms of art and expression. While it is an expansive art form, we often focus on the technique or lack of and too rarely spend time on the intrinsic topics the artists are trying to address and convey. This issue will be by invitation only as there will not be an open call for public submissions. The selection of artists will be based on how their work fits the context of this issue's theme. Once the issue is published online, it will be available to view for free, along with an open party event tentatively planned for late Summer. As we reluctantly venture into going digital-only, our wish for the future Fall issue is that, by then, we will all be in a better place. With best wishes, Arturo Herrera Founder, Editor-in-Chief &nbsp; 11/19/2019 Barbed’s Fall launch Party, issue 8.&nbsp; Thank you for coming!

The magazine will be available for purchase at the event. Of the new edition, Herrera says, “with Barbed issue #07, we wanted to capture artists’ perspectives on collaboration in Southwest Detroit by focusing our attention on grassroots organizations and how they function as an occupational model for artists. We sought out to discover autonomy by generating vibrant public spaces, works, and ideas through collaborative performances. As a magazine, we see the need for the return of storytelling in real time. Barbed wishes to share the stories of artists in the region so our readers can understand their impact on the community. We are very proud of our artist selection and the content created for this issue.” Barbed #7 is supported in part by the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, &nbsp;the Andrew W.
