200 x 272 mm, 108 pages Brooklyn, US Editors-in-chief: Janna Levin and Joshua Jelly-Schapiro Design: Daniel Kent and Callum Abbott ‘Art/Science/Music/Lit’ Published by Pioneer Works, the Brooklyn-based non-profit cultural centre that counts David Byrne among its advisors, Broadcast reflects the organisation’s interdisciplinary and open spirit. Spanning art, science, music and literature, a magazine of this scope could easily feel scattered, yet Broadcast is held together by its clear graphic language—a tight grid structure and a limited colour palette that gives editors room for free reign. Peeling back the gold-foiled cover of this third issue reveals a visual feast of cobalt blue and flat gold, visually tying together its many threads while circling a central question: are we, as humans, geniuses—or merely earth-destroying brutes? Inside, discover how Queen Elizabeths bees got wind of her passing; the possibility of mammalian reproduction in space; Elif Batuman in conversation with Miranda July about her perimenopausal novel ‘All Fours’; a glimpse into musician Daniel Johnston’s notebooks filled with his distinctively quirky drawings; a portrait on geologist and oceanic cartographer Marie Tharp, the first to map the Atlantic Ocean floor; and the unexpected bromance between Andy Warhol and Arnold Schwarzenegger; and much more. pioneerworks.org/broadcast
