Clip/Stamp/Fold is the first exhibition of architectural magazines produced in the 1960s and 1970s. It was curated by architectural theorist Beatriz Colomina and a group of PhD students at Princeton University. The exhibition was first presented at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in 2006. It has since met critical acclaim especially for remaining geographically specific to each city where it is presented. While the concept is portable, the archival magazines vary, being sourced from local collections.

Take a close look at the website, it’s fantastic!
