Today opens a rather epic survey on independent publishing in the wise halls of the MoMA Library in New York, accumulating more than 100 magazines on art and design from all over the world – and of course, also from Berlin, including our humble little adventure in print.
Here is what they have to say about it, since we couldn’t put it any better: ‘This survey of experimental art and design magazines published since 2000 explores the various ways in which contemporary artists and designers utilize the magazine format as an experimental space for the presentation of artworks and text. Throughout the 20th century, international avant-garde activities in the visual arts and design were often codified first in the informal context of a magazine or journal.’
Perceptive as ever, who else but our friends at It’s Nice That will be this week introducing themselves and you to some of the magazines featured in the exhibition.
A hurray for that, and don’t let snow or rain get in your way to the MoMA Library.
