THE ARTHOUSE BLOG

Tomorrow evening marks the fourth installment of the Arthouse Visiting Lecturer Series and Studio Visit Program; a FREE public lecture by Sina Najafi.

Born in Iran and raised in England, Sina Najafi has made a name for himself in the international art world with a variety of innovative curatorial and publishing projects. Among the many exhibitions he has curated are Philosophical Toys at Apexart, Odd Lots: Revisiting Gordon Matta-Clarke’s Fake Estates at White Columns and the Queens Museum of Art, and the acclaimed touring Paper Sculpture Show presented by Independent Curators International.

Cabinet magazine, perhaps Najafi’s most recognized endeavor, is an award-winning arts and culture magazine with readership around 10,000. Art critic Jerry Saltz hit the mark (in my opinion) when he described Cabinet as “the best secret art magazine.” Each issue feels like a discovery in itself.

Voted ‘Best New Magazine’ in 2000 by the American Library Association’s Library Journal and ‘Best Art Magazine’ in 2001 and 2003 by the New York Press, Cabinet presents wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary content in each issue through the varied formats of regular columns, essays, interviews, and special artist projects.
