ReadyMade Editor Andrew Wagner to co-headline Brooklyn DIY Business Association Conference

Andrew Wagner, editor-in-chief of ReadyMade magazine, will co-headline the first DIY Business Association Conference on June 26 in DUMBO, Brooklyn.

He will speak on a panel called Gurus of Communication and Content, along with Design*Sponge Founder Grace Bonney, controversial performer Jessica Delfino, photographer Seth Kushner, music journalist Jenn Pelly, and Frontrunners documentary filmmaker Caroline Suh.

Prior to coming to Readymade, he was the editor-in-chief of American Craft magazine.

Wagner was also the executive editor and founding managing editor of Dwell magazine, where he helped push the boundaries of architecture and design journalism, garnering the publication the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) General Excellence Award in 2005.

In 1997, Wagner founded LIMN, the unorthodox design and arts magazine published by the equally unorthodox furniture and design company of the same name, and served as its editor-in-chief until 2000.

Wagner was also the founding editor of Dodge City Journal, a magazine dedicated to documenting life in America’s under-explored cities.

In addition to his work at ReadyMade, Wagner is a consulting editor at Places magazine and has been a guest lecturer at University of California Berkeley, Southern California Institute of Architecture, California College of the Arts, and Columbia University.

His writing has been published in, among others, Azure, Blueprint, Breathe, Loud Paper, Vanity Fair, The San Francisco Chronicle, and Travel and Leisure. Wagner also serves as a member of the DIY Business Association Board of Advisers.
