Reductive, 1-4 (2014-15)

“Experimental reflections on listening / reading practices.

Founded in 2013, Reductive Journal explores diverse approaches to text-sound compositions, examining how text and sound are related, defined and inter-permeated in various levels of experiences: listening, reading, perceiving, receiving and performing.

Each Journal is a collaboration between the editors, designers and contributing artists.”

Performance Research 7(3): On Fluxus (2002)

“To mark the 40th anniversary of the first Fluxus festival in Wiesbaden, Germany, and the 30th anniversary of Fluxshoe which toured England with a series of performances, concerts, and exhibitions (1972–3), ‘On Fluxus’ continues the volume theme of ‘textualities, scores and documents’ and focuses on the relationship of writing and textuality to Fluxus. Fluxus was an international community of artists, architects, designers, and composers described as ‘the most radical and experimental art movement of the 1960s’. As a laboratory of experimental art, Fluxus was the first locus of intermedia, concept art, events, and video, and a central influence on performance art, arte povera, and mail art.”

Nordic Journal of Aesthetics, 49-50: Art, Remembrance and History (2015)

“This issue of The Nordic Journal of Aesthetics addresses the question of art’s ability to give form to the catastrophic events of the 20th century, primarily World War II and the atomic bomb, but on the way it – necessarily – broadens the scope of the enquiry to include the question of the relationship between art, remembrance and history today. The articles all contribute to the discussion of that complex relationship asking how art can call attention to past and present historical events of a catastrophic character with a view to changing the present (and the past). History – as Walter Benjamin has taught us – is always written from the present and ‘official history’ thus always has a very selective framing of the victims of history preferring to exclude and ‘invisibilize’ certain subjects and groups in order to naturalize the present order.”
