Texte zur Kunst is a German contemporary art magazine.

Contents

History

Texte zur Kunst was founded in 1990 in Cologne by art historian Stefan Germer and art critic Isabelle Graw. It has been published in Berlin since 2000. [1] [2] Since the death of Stefan Germer in 1998, Graw has acted as publication's sole publisher. [3] [4]

Contents

Texte zur Kunst is published in the small journal format of 166 x 230 mm and contains approximately 300 pages. Issues are thematic and feature essays, interviews, and round-table discussions that address culture-sector questions relating to contemporary art, socio-political theory, and cultural policy from an art historical and sociological perspective. [5] Themes focus on areas of art, institutional critique, feminism, media criticism and theory of subjectivity. [2]

The magazine is influenced by the journal October , but differentiates itself by also covering pop-culture. Unlike other art magazines, it aims to critically examine rather than promote art and demystify the production conditions of art. [5] [6]

Editions

With each issue, Texte zur Kunst offers artist's editions by contemporary artists, which help support the journal's publication. [7]
