Here are some pictures from the Colophon room at the 8 Festival for Fashion and Photography last week. There was lots of interest in the exhibition, which was curated by my Colophon colleague Mike Koedinger and featured a selection of independent magazines including Kasino A4, Vorn and B East. The hanging mechanisms worked well – people could flick through the magazines but not remove them.
The exhibition and accompanying talks took place at the Haus Wittgenstein, a beautifully maintained modernist villa with the tall ceilings that seem typical of Vienna. The city is one of those smaller European ones that effortlessly maintain their historical architecture while adding stunning modern buildings, the Haus Wittgenstein being an older example.
The theme of the festival was magazine culture, and I gave the opening talk, an overview of current independent magazines. To give it some structure I presented an alphabetical selection from Amelia’s Magazine to ZingMagazine. There’s a QuickTime movie of my slides below. The choices aren’t a list of my favourites, but an attempt to present a varied selection of independent titles. And yes, I did cheat for X.
