wedgeshop is a project of Red Wedge Magazine that aims to distribute socialist and popular avant-garde art, media and cultural artifacts (at affordable rates that compensate artists). It has become clear that the institutions of the art world and the culture industry will not sufficiently support a popular avant-garde. It is up to us.

Red Wedge's print journal is issued yearly. Subscriptions can be for two issues or four, and with each selection is the option to pay solidarity price. Each issue is in full color and is roughly one hundred pages.
Designed by Craig E. Ross. The image is based on Harriet Tubman's vision of John Brown before his capture and death.
Roughly one hundred full color, illustrated pages of essays, commentary, poetry, art, comics and reviews. "Apartheid" in today's world does not describe only a particular legal circumstance in this or that corner of the globe. Art, literature, music and creativity, in a very basic sense, are a bending of time and space, a defiance of the ways racism, capitalism and imperialism have shaped our world. They dare us to imagine over the walls.

A "comic" of Alex Pullman's story (as told by Adam Turl) of a future rebellion on colonized Mars--distorted by the commodification of the art space.
