Synopsis

Bald Ego is a completely original and unusual, and very high-flying magazine of new art and writing. Presenting work that is atypical of what the contributor is known for, Bald Ego dares to be funny, and to mix up people not usually found in such close proximity. Where else might you find photographs by Jessica Craig-Martin, Christopher Wool, Roxanne Lowit and Donald Sultan next to short stories by James Purdy and Patrick McGrath; or poetry by Max Blagg, Deborah Harry, Glenn O'Brien and René Ricard alongside illustrated texts by Douglas Coupland, Gary Indiana, Richard Prince and Tom Sachs; or drawings by Donald Baecheler and Alex Katz kitty corner to a rant by John Torreano and a book excerpt from Michael Bronstein's World on Fire? Only in Bald Ego, shamelessly going where no periodical has gone before.
