.dpi, Feminist Journal of Art and Digital Culture, No. 27: Hacktivism (2013) [English/French]
Filed under magazine | Tags: · art, feminism, floss, hackerspace, hacking, hacktivism, software, technology

“Founded by artist-run-centre Studio XX in 2004, in Montreal, the publication .dpi has recently undergone a major transformation in order to assert itself as a feminist journal of art and digital culture. In 2013, with continuing administrative and technological support from Studio XX, the journal .dpi became an independent project, with a new platform (beta version) and new team including permanent editor in chief, Sophie Le-Phat Ho, and a new editorial committee composed of Julie Alary Lavallée, Amber Berson, Esther Bourdages, Christina Haralanova, Corina MacDonald, Katja Melzer, Candace Mooers and Deanna Radford.
In a time when social gains are threatened, funding for artist-run-centres is precarious, and the need for intelligent critique is urgent, the new crew at .dpi wishes to respond to a real need for the creation of an interdisciplinary community of those at once curious and critical of technologies, feminisms and art.
Bringing together a dozen local and international participants, .dpi 27 presents a themed section on hacktivism coordinated by Christina Haralanova, a feminist activist and researcher who is interested by freedom in technology and open-source software. Hacktivism: the Art of Practicing Life and Computer Hacking for Feminist Activism brings together unique perspectives and critiques of the current state of hacktivism, a fusion of hacking and activism.”

Susan Bee, Mira Schor (eds.): M/E/A/N/I/N/G magazine, No 1-20 (1986-1996)
Filed under magazine | Tags: · art, art criticism, art history

“Founded in December of 1986 by editors Susan Bee and Mira Schor, M/E/A/N/I/N/G provided a timely vehicle for an expanded practice of art criticism from its locus in New York City. Reflecting on the origins of the magazine in an introduction to the final issue, the editors write: ‘we felt the need for an alternative to the market orientation of mainstream art magazines and the frequently exclusionary theoretical orientation of more academic journals, both of which seemed distant from the actual creative lives of a majority of thoughtful and informed working visual artists.’
In twenty issues published over the course of a decade, M/E/A/N/I/N/G indexes the most compelling questions of its time while offering a wide range of informative and provocative critical perspectives that remain contemporary. Designed by Susan Bee, the magazine measures 8.5” by 11” perfect bound with the exception of the first four side stapled issues. The final ‘visual forum’ double issue featured a single image from most contributors in alphabetical order alongside a thorough index to the full run of the magazine compiled by Anne Tardos.” (source)

Comment (1)Stéphane Lecomte (ed.): Sans Titre, No. 1: Le dossier Filliou (2009) [French]
Filed under magazine | Tags: · art

Stéphane Lecomte arranges a dossier of texts on Fluxus artist, Robert Filliou. A fittingly modest zine beholding critical texts, all written in French, concerning the work of Fillou, who’s admirable cross disciplinary practice and collectivist attitude has been a source of inspiration for many artists.
