Dear John, Hyperallergic defines itself as “serious, playful, and radical” all in one breath — this forum is just my cup of tea. Yes, this publication is a spirited space that engages, inspires, and informs this reader. Hyperallergic’s writers bring both local and global perspectives on multiple art forms for me to view from where I sit in Hudson, New York. The topics that are included are often the ones that are excluded from the mainstream of art-speak. The vast inclusion of this publication’s focus is important to the many of us who sit on the fringes of the art world. The scope of coverage and the representation of so many art forms that Hyperallergic delivers is a daunting task — and its talented writers bring it all home. To be informed by these critical eyes is invaluable. If you are not a supporter of Hyperallergic — “now” is the time — as we face the great unknown called the year of 2025, where art and culture will be the stronghold against the tide of change that can overwhelm us. I for one appreciate this forum — it appeals to my quirky queer view of this complicated and ever-changing world. Become a member now and feed those who feed us this mind-spanning information.
