ARTENOL a New Cultural Quarterly Magazine

ARTENOL is the brainchild of artist, Alex Melamid.

The magazine's name alludes to the pain remedy, Tylenol.

It promises to apply the sweet balm of reason and linguistic

clarity to relieve such alarming symptoms as galloping absurdity,

inflationary fever and intellectual congestion.

Created with support from contributors and collaborators

such as Ian Frazier, Art Spiegelman, Francine Prose and others.

and Gary Krimershmoys, June 23, 2015 6-9 PM

Artist-provocateur, Alexander Melamid, describes his new

quarterly magazine ARTENOL as "a purgative for an ailing art

world, a palliative for afflicted aesthetes."
