Summary

Blind Spotis a semi-annual art journal that publishes new work by living photographers. Images are given primacy and published collaboratively rather than curatorially, unaccompanied by introductory, biographical or explanatory text. Blind Spotbridges the gap between emerging and established artists, and creates a new context where each can benefit from the company of the other. Since its launch in 1993, Blind Spothas featured over 300 living photographers, including Uta Barth, Gregory Crewdson, Tim Davis, Rineke Dijkstra, Adam Fuss and Vik Muniz, many of whom have gained critical and audience acclaim through their exposure in the magazine. Features are often designed in collaboration with the artists and always showcase new or previously unpublished work. Generally at least one of the six to eight photographers showcased in each issue is an emerging talent. This collaboration of editors, writers and individual artists transforms each issue of Blind Spotinto a work of art in its own right. Blind Spot's minimal editorial content often provides readers with a glimpse of a yet-to-be-published essay or narrative excerpt by one of today's most respected authors.
