Archizines
traveling exhibition, first held at the Architectural Association, London, November 5 – December 14 2011 (see schedule online)
Curator: Elias Redstone
Statement: «ARCHIZINES celebrates the resurgence of alternative and independent architectural publishing around the world.
The touring exhibition, curated by Elias Redstone and initiated in collaboration with the Architectural Association, features architecture magazines, fanzines and journals from over twenty countries that provide an alternative to the established architectural press. Edited by architects, artists and students, these publications provide new platforms for commentary, criticism and research into the spaces we inhabit and the practice of architecture. They make an important and often radical addition to architectural discourse and demonstrate a residual love for printed matter in the digital age.
The exhibition features titles from the collection alongside video interviews with their creators. Each publication has selected one issue to present in the exhibition and make available for visitors to read. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, published by Bedford Press, and ARCHIZINES LIVE events, bringing ARCHIZINES editors together for debate and discussion.
The ARCHIZINES exhibition was launched at the Architectural Association, London, in November 2011. The project is currently touring internationally and has visited over 20 cities around the world.»
