It is not
as though any of us need more things to read on the internet,
but I have one recommendation. Check out
HeyOka Magazine.
It is the brainchild of
John LeKay,
a sculptor who lives in New York. (Full disclosure: I wrote the
catalog essay that accompanied his exhibition at the University
of Buffalo in 1995. You can read it on his website.) The
magazine has more politics than art, along with an ongoing
interest in Native American spirituality. The politics are to
the left – big surprise – and the tone ranges from measured to
ranting. In the current issue, the Fashion Section features
videos on Canadian seal hunts. A section on war photography was
labeled “disturbing” and I confess I didn't heed the warning. It
was deeply disturbing. No, make that nauseating.
The music is good. Navajo singer Skylar Wolf is a real
discovery. And where else can you listen to a recording of the
Beatles singing Revolution while watching a news report of
students protesting the Karl Rove appearance at American
University.
