Magma Issue 3

description

For its third edition, Magma publishes Archive of the Future, a volume bringing together twenty-five artists, writers, filmmakers, and composers from around the world. The publication continues its poetic cartography of the contemporary world—in an object at the crossroads of art publishing, aesthetic manifesto, and living archive. Hans Ulrich Obrist who wrote the foreword to this edition, captures the spirit of the project as follows “Magma is an extraordinary collection of artist archives that helps us invent the future. These archives are not places of certainty, but tools—prototypes for future action and for the world as it could be.” In a world devoid of promise—where history seems dislocated and the future uncertain—Magma questions the capacity of artistic forms to anticipate the world to come.

With contributions from Merry Alpern, Elizabeth Peyton, Charles Ray, Pol Taburet, Jonas Mekas, Yoko Ono & John Lennon, Precious Okoyomon, Francis Ponge, Jean Siméon Chardin, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Théo Casciani, Jonathan Glazer, Jill Mulleady, Mike Kelley, Lautréamont, Jean-Luc Godard, Stephan Crasneanscki, Patti Smith, Stanislava Kovalčiková, Henri Michaux, Jos De Gruyter & Harald Thys, Michel Journiac, Sissel Tolaas.

Inspired by the tradition of 20th-century revues d’art, the publication offers a spontaneous encounter between artists and the public, a plunge into the intimate space of how creators see the world—and themselves. All these contributions form a living composition—an attempt to inscribe the present into a memory in the making, and to invent the shapes of a future yet to be imagined. Through image, text, sound, scent, and touch, Magma engages the senses in a total editorial experience, and continues to affirm its ambition: to weave correspondences between works, eras, disciplines, the living and the dead.
