About us

Originally launched November 5th, 2004, TRIGGER MAGAZINE is the creative forum of New York-based artist Liberation Iannillo. Trigger Magazine aims to create a web environment - a cyber salon - focusing on the discovery, nurturing and promotion of artists in all mediums. Trigger Magazine's artists bring a rebellious sense of energy that has come to represent the "downtown" aesthetic that defines a New York scene in danger of becoming extinct. A direct response to the cookie cutter, conveyor belt era of corporate catalogs and focus-group based market research that creates a ubiquitous franchise on every corner and a full spectrum of beige in every home.

More than just another bohemian diatribe, Trigger Magazine highlights creative explorers, uncompromising in their pursuit of genius.  They refuse to timidly step into the urban jungle of imagination, choosing instead to slash great swathes into it with machetes of paint, ink, bronze and spoken word. They are adventurers able to make their way into the mainstream without ever compromising their artistic vision or integrity to the mercenary dictates of pop culture.

The term artist as used by Trigger Magazine includes anyone who is passionate about their vocation and brings a fresh point of view to their world of work. Regardless if the subject is a painter, musician, writer, photographer, performer, designer or athlete, Trigger Magazine looks for individuals bringing a provocative and genuinely distinctive spin to what they are doing.

"I passionately hate the idea of being with it, I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time."

- Osron Welles
US actor & director (1915 - 1985)
