New mag online and in print for political art

ArtThreat is a new, hybrid magazine (quarterly online, twice a year in print) that features political art. It is published by überculture , a Montreal-based non-profit collective "committed to reclaiming culture by supporting independent, political art and challenging corporations that endanger free expression." It is edited by Rob Maguire, a freelance photographer and researcher. The magazine's web presence is already quite robust, and it hopes to do its first print version later this year. Of itself, the magazine says:
We embrace art that confronts, interrogates, or even shrugs off the status quo. Art Threat looks for creativity that threatens the conventional wisdom with progressive ideas. By highlighting political artists and their work, and by challenging those who deny the political, Art Threat supports the creation of critical culture and strives to inspire people to act.
