COLLECTOR’S CORNER — (print exclusive)
Jordan D. Schnitzer

Artillery recently sat down with art collector and philanthropist Jordan D. Schnitzer during the opening of The Schnitzer Family Foundation’s “The Art of Food” exhibition currently on view at the Long Beach Museum of Art. Why Art? How do we deal in a world where we are constantly being told where to go, what to buy, and who to listen to, and then plied with misinformation? How do we maintain our...

POEMS

by Alice Glass, Sophia Torres-Ulrich

Adopt a Highway Old world sadness meets modern shame on a melancholy walk along a dirty shore, where the beachfront properties are indistinguishable from public restrooms. As we step around fly-strewn masses of rotting seaweed and stare at the sun as it sinks behind the town’s famous rock, we fear that the seasons may have given up— but there is joy in forgetting the things we promised ourselves...

MEGHANN STEPHENSON
at Half Gallery

FRED LONIDIER
at Michael Benevento

When I look at Fred Lonidier’s show “Vacation Village Trade Show,” at Michael Benevento, my mind naturally goes to Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966). Much like Antonioni, whose film is about a photographer who inadvertently captures a murder, Lonidier is interested in the...
