WW3 is the longest running zine in history. Co-founded by Seth

includes a wraparound cover by Sue Coe and art, articles and comics by
"the usual gang of agitators" including Eric Drooker, Seth Tobocman,
Sabrina Jones, Mac Mcgill, Ryan Inzana, James Romberger, Chuck Sperry,
Nicole Schulman (who co-edited a recent book on the history of the
Wobblies) plus a nine page strip by Zap comix luminary, Spain written
by Justin Wertham, Joe Sacco's account as an embedded journalist in
Iraq, Princes Of Darkness an article on the history of Neo Cons by Eric
Laursen as well as comics and illustrations by Steve Brodner, Tom
Tomorrow, Sam Weber, Barron Storey, Barry Blitt, David Rees,
Knickerbocker, Matt Bors, Tauno Biltsted, Felix Sockwell and Thomas
Fuchs.
For the first time in its history WW3 includes a color section with a
new installment of Peter Kuper's Richie Bush and Penny Allen's WAR IS
HELL a "Fumetti" (photo comic) assembled with photos by an American
Sgt. in Iraq with his running commentary.
ABOUT EXIT ART
Exit Art has charted the new in art and contemporary culture since it's=
founding by directors Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo in 1982. Over
the course of 20 years, Exit Art has acquired a substantial reputation
for curatorial innovation, depth of programming in diverse media, and
especially for bringing to public attention the work of important
unknown artists. Part of its mission is to present the work of
under-recognized living artists in innovative ways that expose the
diverse, multi-disciplinary nature of contemporary culture. Its
exhibitions, performances and programs challenge traditional notions of
what art is and explore the rich amalgam of voices and cultures that
continually shape America. As such, it has grown to become one of the
most admired, innovative spaces for supporting artists and providing
the public with a visionary look on what's to come. Exit Art now
stands as an archive of cultural thought and expression routinely mined
by artists, students, curators, and scholars. It is no small wonder
that Exit Art's programs have attracted a million visitors from across
the country and around the world.
FUNDING
General support for Exit Art's exhibition program provided by the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Starry Night Fund at The Tides Foundation,
Greenwall Foundation, Jerome Foundation, New York State Council on the
Arts, Brown Foundation, The Carnegie Corporation of New York, New York

our members.
