Ten years ago, the printed version of ARTMargins joined its sister publication, ARTMargins Online. The idea of the three founding editors— Sven Spieker, Angela Harutyunyan, and Octavian Esanu—was to create an innovative art historical journal with a broad remit that would offer some measure of correction to the euphoria surrounding globalized art at the time, and that would include contributions from the perspectives of artists, scholars, and critics. Would this hybrid publication model, which was somewhat unusual for an academic journal, be acceptable to its future publisher and readers? More importantly, would it find a place among already-existing publications that covered related ground in different ways, and often from angles we felt were close to our own? We have been finding or (re)formulating answers to these questions ever since, in ten rewarding years of collaboration, encounter, and conversation, both within the evolving editors’ collective—which currently comprises Karen Benezra, Pedro Erber, Elizabeth Harney, and Saloni Mathur, in addition to the three founding editors¹¹—and outside it, with the artists, art historians, curators, and critics who have generously opted to publish their work in the journal or who have collaborated with us in other ways. ARTMargins could not have launched or thrived without the help and encouragement of all these colleagues and friends, several of whom subsequently agreed to join the journal's editorial board. We are also deeply grateful to the MIT Press and its dedicated staff, for being receptive to our initial ideas and for steadfastly nurturing the publication from the beginning. We also happily acknowledge financial and logistical support from the University of California, Santa Barbara and, for a period of four years, from the American University in Beirut.

十年前，印刷版ARTMargins加入了其姊妹刊物ARTMargins在线的。三位创始编辑——Sven Spieker、Angela Harutyunyan 和 Octavian Esanu——的想法是创建一个具有广泛职权范围的创新艺术历史期刊，为当时围绕全球化艺术的狂热提供一定程度的纠正，这将包括来自艺术家、学者和评论家的观点。这种对学术期刊来说有些不寻常的混合出版模式，是否会被其未来的出版商和读者所接受？更重要的是，它是否会在以不同方式涵盖相关领域的现有出版物中找到一席之地，并且通常从我们认为与我们自己接近的角度来看？从那以后，在十年的合作、相遇和对话中，我们一直在寻找或（重新）制定这些问题的答案，¹¹ ——以及在它之外，还有那些慷慨地选择在期刊上发表他们的作品或以其他方式与我们合作的艺术家、艺术史学家、策展人和评论家。如果没有所有这些同事和朋友的帮助和鼓励， ARTMargins就不可能推出或蓬勃发展，其中一些人后来同意加入该杂志的编委。我们也非常感谢麻省理工学院出版社及其敬业的工作人员，他们接受了我们最初的想法，并从一开始就坚定地培育出版物。我们也很高兴地感谢加州大学圣巴巴拉分校以及贝鲁特美国大学在四年内提供的财政和后勤支持。
