about nanomajority

From an editorial standpoint, nanomajority is interested in the various ways in which artists, writers, and critics intersect (or don't); there is no single stylistic container or grouping from which we select projects to highlight. There is no overarching manifesto to guide us. We simply publish what interests us.

As websites move toward systems of persistent engagement, flooding readers with constant updates, nanomajority retains a calmness, serving as an unobtrusive, contemplative space in which to engage works.

Inflection : Quarryworks

Photography by Craig Line

Inflection is a site-specific work—one articulation of the 2 years we spent returning again and again to an abandoned slate quarry and the now clear-cut land in its surround. Our encounters with the otherness of the stone and the space engaged us, over time, in a deepening exchange between the quarry’s “physicality” and “textuality” and our own.
