Magazine Articles

Matte Magazine was a beautifully designed magazine about independent art and culture that sadly lasted only three issues.  I wrote for Matte as their art columnist and contributed a couple of articles to the magazine:

Quit Your Job: An Interview with Greg Lundgren of Artists For A Work Free America.  Matte Magazine No. 1 (2002)

Freighted With Meaning or Memory: Jane Dickson Paints the Domestic Uncanny. Matte Magazine No. 2 (2002)



I have also written several pieces for The Next American City, a magazine on urban affairs:  

THE MARKETING OF PLACE: How Bavaria Came to Leavenworth, WA.  The Next American City No. 2 (June 2003)

Reclaiming the Grid: Portland's City Repair.  The Next American City No. 3 (Oct. 2003)

TODAY'S COMPANY TOWN: Seattle's Boeing Fixation.  The Next American City No. 4 (Feb. 2004)

Yes, it is About the Artists: The Tacoma Story.  The Next American City No. 7 (Jan. 2005)


Most recently, Tamra Myers and I wrote a long piece on the infamous history of American roadbuilding for Carbusters #29 and I co-authored an article about global warming for the aug/sept 2007 issue of PLANNING magazine with Larry Frank and Bruce Appleyard
