Magazine to feature photography and written word by local artists

A new print magazine called Null Set will give a whole new meaning to the art world, its publisher hopes.

Peter Christenson, assistant professor of fine arts at WSU Tri-Cities, said the magazine, designed and published in Richland, gives people a platform to express themselves creatively.

Christenson calls it a sort of hybrid book for interventionists.

“Interventionist art is a type of art-making that seeks to engage the public and often exposes or educates or influences the public,” he said. “Interventionist art is not curated or commissioned, and it is often subversive, rooted in the Dadaist movement of the early 20th century.”

The magazine will feature photography as well as the written word in art form, with submissions by local artists. It will provide opportunities for the public to engage in a broader art discourse and to collaborate, intervene, and actively contribute to the regional culture, Christenson said.
