Dear Rhizomers:
I'm writing to let you all know that Rachel Greene will be our new
Editorial Coordinator, starting June 3. We had 36 applicants for this
position, many of them very qualified, and it was an extremely difficult
decision. In the end, experience became the deciding factor: as many of you
know, Rachel was Rhizome's editor from 1997 through 1999. Hard to beat
that. She has also written about contemporary art for several magazines,
including Artforum, Frieze and Bomb, and is now working on a book on new
media art for Thames & Hudson's world of art series. Her Artforum feature,
"Web Work: A History of Internet Art" (a 7.8 Meg PDF file) is available
online at http://rhizome.org/info/artforum.pdf
I want to say a sincere word of thanks to all of the applicants.
Rhizome.org would have been lucky to have any of you.
Sincerely,
Mark
