Welcome to the home of The Jackdaw The Jackdaw is a bi-monthly paper six a year) founded in 2000. By and large it’s pretty nasty and critical of many things, and especially of the art establishment which stinks like the rotting carcase it is. Some of it is serious. Some of it is just downright bad. Some issues are better than others. But no other art publication dares to be like it. The last thing I want you to think is that The Jackdaw has an agenda. On the contrary, it doesn’t believe in anything at all and, by the way: “It’s totally unsuitable for Birmingham”*. I’ll send you a complimentary copy if you email your address.

The Jackdaw, the only (one-man) magazine daring to sock it to the contemporary art establishment, is suffering from the slowdown, and needs help. The author of this pearl of unconventional thinking, historian David Lee, is not some chuntering backwoodsman yet to catch up with Picasso, but a critically modern-minded chap. His magazine is cultural samizdat, packed with earthy jokes and scandals that are ignored elsewhere in the interests of keeping folk such as the Margate Express (Tracey Emin) or Dick Flasher (Damien Hirst) sweet. I defy you to read it without immediately wanting to mount a rescue bid." Celia Walden Daily Telegraph Friday 9 April | |||||
