WHAT IT IS Founded as a non-profit in 2000, Cabinet is an award-winning quarterly magazine of art and culture based in New York that confounds expectations of what is typically meant by the words "art," "culture," and sometimes even "magazine." Its hybrid sensibility merges the popular appeal of an arts periodical, the visually engaging style of a design magazine, and the in-depth exploration of a scholarly journal to create a sourcebook of ideas for an eclectic international audience of readers, from artists and designers to scientists, philosophers, and historians. Using essays, interviews, and artist projects to present a wide range of topics in language accessible to the non-specialist, Cabinet is designed to encourage a new culture of curiosity, one that forms the basis both for an ethical engagement with the world as it is and for imagining how it might be otherwise. In an age of increasing specialization. Cabinet looks to previous traditions of the well-rounded thinker to forge a new type of magazine designed for the intellectually curious reader of the future. WHAT READERS SAY Cabinet is my kind of magazine; ferociously intelligent, ridiculously funny, absurdly innovative, rapaciously curious. Cabinet's mission is to breathe life back into non-academic intellectual life. Compared to it, every other magazine is a walking zombie. - Slavoj Zizek, philosopher Voracious, omnivorous, and playful. - The New York Times Cabinet magazine, the antidote for the suffocated intellectual, continually moves across and beyond all the categories, offering some of the best writing and thinking about culture to be found the world over. - Tim Griffin, editor-in-chief, Artforum Clever and cultured without being pretentious, arty without being irritating. - The Guardian WHO CONTRIBUTES Francis Alys Walead Beshty Svetlana Boym Matthew Buckingham Anne Carson Ruth Claxton Tim Davis Leland de la Durantaye Brian Dillon Marcel Dzama Spencer Finch Joshua Foer Douglas Gordon Amy Granat Joseph Grigely Marine Hugonnier Shelley Jackson Christina Kubisch Justine Kurland An-My Lê Jonathan Lethem Ben Marcus Josiah McElheny Helen Mirra Paul Noble Geoffrey O'Brien Celeste Olalquiaga George Pendle Dan Perjovschi Frances Richard Matthew Ritchie David Levi Strauss Jude Tallichet Nato Thompson Christopher Turner Marina Warner Eyal Weizman Margaret Wertheim [[image-photograph of bees with numbered tags on them]] [[image-older black and white photograph of two men, one standing, and one sitting with what looks like measuring tools and it says "F1"]] [[image-painting, mountains with ski trails]] [[image-photograph, a patch that has an Alien holding something in black with the letter "O'" on it and the number "509" below.
