Lumpen #133 - The Buddies Issue

Lumpen Magazine is a news and culture magazine featuring the work of emerging and established artists and writers. It features editorials, interviews, and reviews focused on current events and emerging cultural trends. Published monthly until 1998, it is now quarterly.
Throughout the existence of Lumpen Magazine and all of it attendant projects, incarnations, wild ideas, spaces, business endeavors and transmissions, the only thing that has kept it going and inspired us to keep on keeping on were our bud- dies. Our collaborators: the friends we’ve known, those that we now know, and those we’ve yet to meet. This issue is an introduction to some of our buddies that make it all happen through their projects, spaces and communities. We will continue to connect the dots to all of these visionaries, experimental artists, and activists of all stripes as we move forward in creating more new spaces, publications, projects and endeavors, in places all over the world. This issue is dedicated to our buddies. We want you to become one as well.
