SENSUS is an independent arts quarterly publication dedicated to celebrating contemporary arts and supporting the Philadelphia community of makers. As an artists for artists project, SENSUS seeks to showcase emerging artists, generate critical dialogue, and connect artists with each other and to their audiences. The project curates social and political commentary centered around contemporary visual arts including interviews, critical essays, and show reviews.
Existing primarily in print, SENSUS prioritizes the tactile over the ubiquitous and consumable stream of digital media. It chooses engagement with the physical world and material experience, connecting back to the function of the art object as something of aesthetic value existing in discrete units.
Available at Ulises Books, American Grammar, Wooden Shoe Books, Tomorrow Today, Lot 49, and Etc Etc Books.
