bur@rt press is now “art on”

art on

This publication, which has been running as “bur@rt press” since 2017, has changed its name to “art on.” Our address has moved to art-on.jp at the same time.

Every article is still here

All 1,229 articles published since 2017 remain online. Nothing has been removed.

Your existing bookmarks and links will continue to work. Any burart.jp address now takes you to the same article on art-on.jp. We have kept the shape of our article addresses (year, month, article name) unchanged, so links shared on social media or placed on other sites open exactly as before.

About the name

We wanted people to come across art the way they come across things on an unhurried walk. That is where “bur@rt” came from, and we used it for nine years.

The new name places the moment art switches on at its centre. That is why the “o” in the logo is a power symbol.

The moment you step through the entrance of an exhibition. The moment you stop in front of one painting. The moment an artist’s words change how a work looks to you. We will go on recording those switches.

What stays the same

Our editorial approach is unchanged.

  • We go to the venue and write from there
  • We do not, as a rule, publish articles in exchange for payment
  • We publish in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean

Alongside the change of name, we have set out in writing the editorial principles we had not previously documented.

Contact

Please send exhibition information and press releases to press@art-on.jp.

We look forward to continuing to work with you.
