newly redesigned websiteba platform for the ongoing creation of
artist-to-artist dialogue and a portal into BOMB's archives. Thanks to funding
from the A.W. Mellon Foundation, over the past two years, BOMB has digitized
all of its previously published contentbover 6,000 articles involving 7,000
artists. With additional funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the
Fiddlehead Fund, BOMB's Board of Trustees, and a "magnanymous" [sic] donor,

"BOMB online brings together everything we've done in 33 years of publishing,
and everything we are today," says Betsy Sussler, BOMB's Founder & Editor in
Chief. "It's aB place for artists of all generations and practices to come
together in dialogue about their craft. A place for inspiration and
reflection. We're tapping the Internet's potential to connect ideas across
time. And we're thrilled to be able to bring these conversations to readers
from around the world for free!"
Many thanks to our designers, Everything Studio, and our developers, 29th

About BOMB
BOMB's mission is to deliver the artist's voice. Its foundersbNew York
City-based artists and writersbstarted BOMB in 1981 because they saw a
disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and
the way critics described it. Since then, BOMB has gone on to publish decades'
worth of conversations between artists about their creative process. Today,
BOMB is a multimedia publishing house that creates and preserves
artist-generated content.
