The Magazine:
With a twenty-seven year publishing record, Fuse magazineAs mandate is

visual and media arts communities and practices in Canada. Our
editorial strategy is to offer readers in-depth critical analysis and
assessment of the relationship of the visual arts to the cultural
contexts in which it is produced, supported, exhibited and
disseminated. There are two general areas in which this analysis is
grounded. The first is cultural analysis as expressed in various
contemporary artistic practices and cultural expressions, especially
practices that are engaged in socially progressive issues. The second,
a corollary interest, is the pressures exerted on the cultural sector
as expressed in policy shifts of social and cultural institutions, both
private and public. As our content crosses many disciplines and
cultural perspectives, it is our ambition to ensure that the writing in
Fuse remains in the forefront of progressive thinking while being
accessible to non-specialist readers.
