CIRCA Art Magazine @circaartmag@mastodon.ie

#introduction:
CIRCA Art Magazine is an independent, artist- and writer-led online art publication. CIRCA takes art production as a dynamic point of engagement: we invite proposals for text and hybrid-media contributions that think with and through art, artworks and art practices, rather than simply about them. CIRCA’s geographical focus is the island of Ireland.

Circa 131 2010
The 'last issue' of Circa – but a huge amount has been published by Circa online since then – was itself purely online, and in two parts. The theme was Criticism and Critique.
