Esopus 4 Now On Newsstands
May 1, 2005
Esopus 4 will ship to bookstores and newsstands in early May 2005. Its contents include artists’ projects by Edward Ruscha, Ati Maier, and Shanan Kurtz; 100 frames from Claire Denis’s 2002 film Vendredi Soir; and our fourth invitational CD, “Imaginary Friends,” for which we invited Esopus subscribers to submit descriptions of their imaginary childhood friends, and then asked musicians to choose one of the descriptions and use it as inspiration for a song. The selected descriptions are published (and illustrated) in the issue, and participating musicians include the B-52’s Kate Pierson and Pat Irwin, Avey Tare (Animal Collective), and Kimya Dawson (The Moldy Peaches).
