[!@#$%!]

i wanted to ask for some advice because i'm looking to subscribe to something that will keep me up to date with the art world. since moving away from DC to the land of malpais (huxley reference) i've felt culturally isolated, and i'd like to compensate this with a decent publication.

what i'm LOOKING FOR:

-something contemporary, that tells me what's going on today. i'm not interested in articles about the paintings of renoir and where they are doing a traveling exhibition (thought it would be nice to know, ha ha). i'm more interested in current trends, emerging artists, etc.

-something that can somehow (somehow! i understand the limitations!) compensate for not being able to go to galleries, museums, etc., for 11 months a year.

what i DO NOT want:

-something printed in europe where i'll have to pay a fortune & receive it 2 months late (as often happened to me w/ wire mag).

-something for art collectors who're looking to buy shit & amass their fortunes. i'd like news and commentary, not buying tips.

-something that describes exhibits that i can't see (envy is such a toxic emotion)

so...

art news? art in america? NYarts magazine? something i haven't heard of but should?

thank you. my brain will be forever indebted to you.
