The project embraces an intentionally open format, where unfinished drafts and polished pieces appear side by side, creating space for contributors who may not otherwise see themselves as artists.

Artist Beth Krebs is behind the cover of Chronogram’s May 2026 issue. In her video work “Winners,” featured in the upcoming Wassaic Project exhibition “Because Now Is the Time of Monsters,” Krebs reimagines the iconography of triumph through collapsing poses, altered trophies, and moments of vulnerability and humor. The exhibition opens May 16 and runs through September 12 at Wassaic Project.
