Twice-yearly Esopus features contributions from a cross-section of creative disciplines presented with minimal editorial “framing” and no advertising. Each issue includes three contemporary artists' projects--one by an established artist (past contributors have included Richard Tuttle, Jenny Holzer and Robert Therrien) and two by emerging figures. Previous projects have taken the form of removable posters, fold-outs and hand-assembled sculptures, and have often utilized complex printing processes, unique paper stocks and special inks. Along with a sampling of short plays, visual essays, poetry and fiction by never-before-published authors, issues contain new installments of two series: “Modern Artifacts,” for which undiscovered treasures from The Museum of Modern Art Archives are reproduced in facsimile, and “Guarded Opinions,” which features museum guards' commentaries on the art they oversee. Each issue concludes with an audio CD, for which musicians are invited to contribute a new song based on a particular theme.
