Artlink, formerly titled Artlink: Australian contemporary art quarterly, is a themed magazine covering contemporary art and ideas from Australia and the Asia-Pacific. It covers a diverse range of issues, including social and environmental issues as well as media arts, science and technology.
History
[edit]Artlink was established in 1981 by Stephanie Britton as a bi-monthly newsletter, published in black and white by Art Link Incorporated. Its initial funding came from the South Australian Department for the Arts, and the magazine was run by a committee on which the following bodies were represented: the Experimental Art Foundation, the Contemporary Art Society, the South Australian School of Art Student Union, the Women's Art Movement, and the Friends of the Art Gallery of South Australia.[1]
From 1986, the magazine developed national coverage, with regional editors, and from 1988 began quarterly publication, with themed issues beginning in 1989. In 1994, Artlink Australia was created to replace Art Link Inc.[1]
Since June 2011, Artlink has published regular editions of Artlink Indigenous, beginning with three-year project to produce annual issues. The first issue was guest edited by Daniel Browning and Stephanie Radok, and was also launched in London, with the assistance of the Australian High Commission.[2] commissioned by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers, editors and artists.[1]
In 2014, Stephanie Britton retired from the position of Executive Editor, and Eve Sullivan was appointed to the position in July 2014. Sullivan left in February 2021,[1] and Una Rey succeeded her as editor in 2022.[3]
