The Angeleno
Samia Saad
What translates to a gallery setting better than a text-heavy periodical? Nothing. This project both asks and answers the question: What if a magazine like the New Yorker was written for a West Coast readership, and centered on a city like Los Angeles, but was still written by the New York-oriented staff? The result is this satire, which takes aim at the literary, cultural, and artistic stereotypes that exist between the two coasts. The Eastern Seaboard tends to enjoy a monopoly on “high-end” literature, journalism, and publishing. As a result, these East Coasters believe they could write about L.A. better than anyone who actually lives here. To what degree that opinion is accurately portrayed here—where irony ends and the truth begins—is up for interpretation, and likely depends on which coast you were born screaming toward.
