Submission Guidelines for Left Curve
Editorial Statement:
Left Curve is an artist-produced critical journal that addresses the
problem(s) of cultural
forms, emerging from the crisis of modernity, that strive to be independent
from the control
of dominant institutions, and free from the shackles of instrumental rationality.
In general
we are interested in any form of work that can be readily reproduced within
a 7"x 9"
format. We encourage open, critical, defetishized work that attempts to
unravel, reveal
contemporary (inner/outer) reality.
Articles:
We publish fiction (traditional or experimental) and non-fiction texts
(critical social,
cultural, historical, philosophical essays, as well as reviews, interviews,
journalistic
pieces, etc.) that are concerned with issues that deal with our general
editorial thrust.
Length can be roughly up to 5000 words, though most are about 2500. Illustrations
to
accompany texts (photos, graphics, etc.) are welcomed.
Poetry:
Most of our published poems are one page length, though we have published
longer
poems of up to 8 pages. We will look at any form of poetry, from experimental
to
traditional.
Visuals:
We are interested in any form of visual work (reproducible painting,
line drawings,
traditional as well as electronic graphics, photography, visual/verbal art,
etc.) that fit into
our general editorial thrust.
