Trebuchet is a magazine that pushes forward, broadening the scope of what art can be and what art media should cover. The name — a medieval siege engine designed to hurl objects over walls — is a fitting metaphor for a publication that aims to break through the barriers that separate artistic disciplines and prevent the kind of cross-pollination that produces the most interesting work.
The magazine covers visual art, music, performance, film, and cultural criticism with an editorial sensibility that refuses to treat these as separate territories. Trebuchet is interested in the artists and the ideas that do not fit neatly into categories, the work that falls between disciplines, and the conversations that happen when different forms of creative practice are placed in proximity.
In an art media landscape that tends to specialise — music magazines here, art magazines there, film magazines somewhere else — Trebuchet insists that the most important creative developments happen at the intersections. The magazine exists to find those intersections and to launch ideas over the walls that keep them apart.
