About the magazine

Johnny America is an independent curatorial platform and online exhibition space founded in 2018 by curator and writer Johnny America. Operating at the intersection of digital culture and contemporary art, the project commissions and presents solo and group exhibitions that respond to the conditions of networked life. Its founding ethos is rooted in a belief that art can be a site of critical intimacy—a place where the personal and political are negotiated through material and conceptual experimentation. The platform has no permanent physical location, instead collaborating with a range of venues and digital interfaces to produce exhibitions, publications, and public programs.

Editorial focus

Johnny America publishes fiction, shorts, very short shorts, humor, and mildly humorous nonfiction essay-like things.

Artists should approach Johnny America with a clear understanding of its curatorial focus: work that engages with digital culture, identity, and the politics of the intimate. Submissions are typically open calls announced via the website and social media, with specific thematic prompts. It is advisable to review past exhibitions to gauge the platform's tone and scope. Proposals should include a concise artist statement, documentation of recent work, and a brief outline of how the proposed project aligns with the platform's ethos. Given the independent nature of the project, artists should expect a collaborative process and be prepared for extended timelines. There are no fees to submit, but selected artists are often responsible for production costs unless otherwise stated.
