ostranenie : estrange the familiar
Ostranenie Magazine strives to be a venue for all creative and critical work. The magazine, published semesterly, attempts to reflect the topography of creative culture and the work being made right now. Our goal is to publish work in an arena that supercedes genre.As editors, our only agenda is to promote abstract culture. We do this by providing a physical document of work to share with each other, lay as a foundation, and synthesize different creative and critical niches so that creative and critical endeavor can evolve. | ||||||||||||||
editors : strange makersSukey Bernard Benedict Berstein is not an autobiographer. Jen Bunin joined the Ostranenie staff in order to participate in whatshe believes to be the biggest cultural and creative revolution in the history of Wesleyan University. Travis Fitzgerald yearns to form an artistic community based on either the highest ideals or the lowest standards. He feels Ostranenie is the first step towards achieving this goal. Let's bring back Abstract Expressionism! Kate Gavriel started OSTRANENIE after working on other magazines she found too conservative and too invested in genre hierarchy. "When one voice is heard, it means that others have been silenced." Daniel Gumbiner Andrew Gorin : Poet with great interest in pursuing a career in the museum/gallery curating. Frank O'hara is my homeboy. Meet me down town for a Veggieburger and a Malted. Ali Lillehei Cameron H. Rowland Patrick Serr Nick Singer Samantha Sommers joined ostranenie to satisfy her love of serifed v. non-serifed discussion and to create portable, perfect-bound, gallery spaces and salon readings. Stephanie Ullmann To be a part of the editorial staff and help put the magazine together, send an email about your interest to SamizdatPress@Gmail.com. We are looking for people interested in the tradition of Samizdat, self and independent publishing, diversification and degentrification of the 'literary magazine,' and being a facilitator of the artistic, intellectual, and critical dialogue. It wouldn't hurt if you were also versed in Photoshop, InDesign, or were generally computer literate. Although, really it is the drive to act that we want, we can teach you the skills. | ||||||||||||||

moreOSTRANENIE is only one facet of Samizdat Press. Do you know of an event or would you like to orchestrate an event you feel resonates with OSTARNENIE'S mission? Let us know! Send us an email about it, and we can talk about co-sponsoring your event! Our magazine is a physical testament to work being produced, but there are equally important temporal manifestations. We would like to help those events happen, too. | ||||||||||||||
