Clip/Stamp/Fold exhibition is continuing its tour.
This time the exhibition takes place at Naim/Bureau Europa in Masstricht from June 27th till September 26th.
We already talked about this project last year but here is some informations again about it.
An explosion of architectural little magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture with the architecture of the magazines acting as the site of innovation and debate. Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines 196X – 197X takes stock of seventy little magazines from this period, which were published in over a dozen cities. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term “little magazine” was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. The terms “little” and “magazine” are not taken at face value. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip/Stamp/Fold includes pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced “moments of littleness,” influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries.
The exhibition’s annotated timeline serves as a cross-section, tracking the progression, upheavals, and transformations of the magazines. A selection of original magazines surveys the variety of unique formats, re-introducing rare examples from private collections, and is supplemented by complete facsimiles for visitors to browse. Audio interviews with editors and designers of these publications punctuate the room, with transcriptions appearing in the Storefront’s newsletter. In addition, many of these editors and designers have been invited to respond to the exhibition through the series Little Magazines / Small Talks held at the gallery. An implicit aim of the exhibition is to invite reflection on contemporary uses of media in architecture. Assembling all these remarkable documents for the first time offers a unique view of a key period of architectural innovation and challenges today’s architects to provoke a similar intensity.
The media industry is in upheaval. New magazines, daily newspapers, and books are being developed, classics are being redesigned, and the interplay between the printed and digital realms is being tested. Turning Pages documents the current evolution in print media and introduces the leading creative protagonists at its forefront as well as how they work.
In this book, internationally renowned editorial designers present their projects and comment on the various stages of a publication’s conceptualization, design, and production. These range from topic selection, structure, and flow to more specific aspects such as type area, layout, typography, pictorial language, navigation, and cover design.
Turning Pages is a survey of what is state-of-the-art in editorial design today as well as an inspirational forecast of future developments. Its unique mix of visual examples, insightful descriptions, and reports based on personal experiences make the book a compelling reference for designers and those working in the media industry.
