BIG MEDIUM SUPPORTED PROJECTS:

Pastelegram is an online and print publication concerned with images and their sources. It is dedicated to contemporary artists, art historians and critics as well as the ideas, images and texts that inform their projects, some historical and others less so. As such, Pastelegram provides an international platform for the examination of artistic and historical practice.Pastelegram lives in two distinct forms: a biannual print issue and an online site. The print issue features an editorial collaboration with an artist or art historian that includes original works made for the magazine, visual essays, an interview with the issue’s collaborator and a collection of outside texts and images selected by the collaborator and Pastelegram’s editors. Our online version offers supplementary materials to the print issue such as weekly reviews and monthly features offering close examinations of objects and images.

Pastelegram is proudly sponsored by Big Medium, a non-profit 501(c)(3) arts organization based in Austin, Texas, whose mission is to support the visual arts and artists in Texas.

Cantanker is committed to producing a visual art magazine that is a piece of art in itself, beautifully designed and inventive in its concept and structure. Our mission is to encourage a dialogue about art through written profiles, interviews, reviews and opinion pieces, and to introduce artists to the public by giving them an open venue, Project Space, to create innovative and experimental work.

Big Medium is pleased to partner with Art From The Ashes, a non-profit organization with a mission to support communities devastated by natural disasters through the creation of art.  A benefit art exhibition is planned for spring 2012 which will support reforestation in Bastrop county as well as community programming for those who suffered terrible losses in the recent fires in Bastrop. This is AFTA's first project in Texas, and we're thrilled that they are dedicating this project to Bastrop relief. The works in the fundraising exhibition will be created with reclaimed materials from the site location of the disaster, incorporating them into one of a kind works of art. Twisted metal, wood, glass, ash, and found objects become sculptures, paintings, ceramics. Other works will examine the disaster through the photographic lens. Every work of art tells a story and captures the heart of a place in time and history. Proceeds from the sale of art will be donated to the affected community to aid in their recovery process. In the wake of devastation and destruction, these works of art symbolize one's ability to renew, rebuild and persevere.
