The Danish contemporary art magazine SUM launches its latest issue with its new layout created by graphic designer Manuel Raeder at Pro qm in Berlin this Friday night. SUM focuses on trends, exhibitions, works and ideas on the current art scene. On the occasion of the recent climate summit in Copenhagen the main editorial focus with SUM No. 05 is climate related art. Alongside the specific climate focus SUM No. 05 includes articles by the writer and art critic Jan Verwoert and the Australian-born curator Bridget Crone. Curator and SUM-editor Solvej Helweg Ovesen focuses on the German artist and activist Thomas Kilpper and art critic Sidsel Nelund interviews author and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha. The British artist Simon Starling contributes with selected photos from the project Red Rivers (In Search Of The Elusive Okapi), and the cover of the magazine presents works by the Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas.
