ANPQuarterly is an arts magazine published by RVCA which focuses on a broader sense of art and community. The idea behind this endeavor is to make a magazine that will educate and inform openly and without the social or financial restrictions that plague many publications today and contribute more often than not to the “same old thing” again and again. Our goal is not to focus on current events or “who’s hot” but rather to bring forward peple and phenomena that deserve acknowledgment and coverage regardless of their of their place in time. RVCA/ANPQuarterly is still distributed for free around much of the world through galleries, bookstores, clothing and record shops, but it is getting harder to find as the issues tend to go quicker now. As such, we have begun offering subscriptions to cover shipping to individuals who would like to rest assured that they will never miss an issue.

About the Editors

Brendan Fowler’s initial claim to fame was a large volume of interviews published under the title Sex Sells Magazines. Through the two self-published volumes he built a reputation for being someone obsessed with extensive and highly informative interviews; he went on to contribute to magazines such as Tokion, Anthem, Vice, Dazed and Confused, Mass Appeal, Strength, as well as several art books. His personal work comes in the form of BARR, a one-person public speaking band signed to 5RC/KillRockStars.

Ed Templeton is one of very few people in the world who can count both professional skateboarder and iconic contemporary artist on their lists of accomplishments. As a photographer, Ed has shown in galleries and museums all over the world and been published in Black Book, Dazed and Confused, Anthem, Tokion, literally every single skateboard magazine on the market, and four or his own artist catalogs.

Aaron Rose founded and ran New York’s Alleged Gallery from 1992-2001 (the gallery is credited as having helped launch the careers of Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Mark Gonzales, Ed Templeton, Phil Frost, Thomas Campbell, Spike Jonze, Mike Mills, and many others). Since the closing of Alleged, Aaron has continued to curate, both for other galleries and museums around the world; in 2004 the international traveling museum show, Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art and Street Culture, opened at the newly renovated CAC in Cincinnati. In addition to his curatorial work, Aaron’s essays and interviews have been published in Index, i–D, Dazed and Confused, Self Service, Tokion and numerous exhibition catalogs.
