Episode 368: Tulsa Kinney on her 18 years running Artillery magazine and her complicated relationship with the art world

In Episode 368, Tulsa Kinney , artist and now former founding editor of Artillery magazine, talks about: Why she sold the magazine after running it for 18 years, including burnout but also how impersonal she feels the art world has become since its more modest size when the magazine began; the lack of support she/the magazine received from many galleries, while receiving support from institutions like the LA Philharmonic; the dual role she's had as an art magazine editor and as an artist, and seeing the art world from both perspectives; how it's been lovely being recognized (if not necessarily respected) when she walks into galleries; the pros and cons of running the magazine virtually, even though a print magazine; her highlights over the years running Artillery , including interviewing Mike Kelley, despite his writing an angry letter-to-the-editor for an unwanted call-out in the magazine's gossip column (she did offer him a magazine retraction for the bit, which helped get him do to the interview), and what a breath of fresh air Tulsa says he was in the art world; getting the last interview with Mike Kelley, and the pushback she got for having him on the magazine's cover when he took his life, as well as the lack of interest from the art world (including the Mike Kelley Foundation) in that interview as historical material
