I am proud to announce that Trifecta Publications is taking submissions for our first issue. As a submission-based publication, we are excited to see what original works you might be able to contribute. When we first came up with the idea for Trifecta, we had all of you in mind. Our first theme is BAMBOOZLED!.

Now, you might be asking yourself, “Who and what is Trifecta?” We, as people, are Alis Atwell, Ashley Singley, and Christopher Starbody. We, as Trifecta, are a submission-based triannual publication. We curate a collection of multimedia works by diverse artists and offer a broad range of perspectives on a simple idea. Our intent is to create a contained archive for collectors. Think “treasure box.”

Trifecta manufactures each individual archive by hand. We design the inside of the book around what you submit. We strive to work with our artists to create something unique, so we ask participants to be creative with the presentation of your submission and challenge us.

Each issue has a theme, which can be interpreted in any way you see fit.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINE:
Trifecta accepts a wide variety of submissions. Please feel free to submit anything that moves you: audio, photocopies, video, text, found material, screen prints, photographs, etc. We don’t discriminate—we love it all. Please make sure that your submission is based on the announced theme. If we accept your submission, we will contact you within three weeks.
We only accept electronic submissions. Please send materials to trifectapublishing@gmail.com. Once accepted, the artist is responsible to supply fifty-four copies. FIFTY-FOUR copies! Yes, this may sound like a lot, but this is a chance to be a part of something unique. We aren’t asking for archival prints or hand-painted pieces (though we will gladly accept them), but we are asking you to be creative in your submissions.

Since this is our premiere project we can not issue monetary compensation, but we are offering a new way of thought and collaboration in order to present a wide range of ideas that will take your work, and the art world, to new heights. Additionally, we will be using all our man power to ensure that your work is presented in the highest quality to people in the professional world and into the hands of tastemakers and collectors around the world.

We only accept original pieces of art. If the piece has been published before, please let us know where.

Deadline for forthcoming issue: Monday, February 22, 2010

ABOUT US:
The founding members of Trifecta first met at Columbia College in Chicago. All three pursued a degree in photography and moved to New York on separate occasions to pursue careers in the arts. Feeling stifled by the art scene, but connected by the Midwest, these three curators decided to start a publication that is completely unique and challenging.

Alis Atwell: Founder, Editor, and Curator

Blackbook Publications is a distribution network created by and for independent publishers of Artists books.

Our aim is to collaborate with Artists that work with books that lacks distribution and to give them the possibility to find their way out to museum shops, bookstores and collectors.

Blackbook Publication grows by voting. This means that if you want to become a part of our distribution network with your planed publication, it will be reviewed by the number of Artists so far published at Blackbook. This is how we secure our artistic vision and quality.

Do you want to be a part of Blackbook?
We are constantly expanding our network and always looking for new material and wider ways of distrubuting books by independent publishers. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you are interested in a collaboration.
