Issue (magazine)
The issue was an avant-garde literature and art magazine that was published irregularly by Armin Hundertmark between 1976 and 1983 in Berlin and Cologne .
Further editorial staff were Ludwig Gosewitz, Dietmar Kirves and Brigitte Roberts.
Frequency of publication
The edition was published by the Verlag Verlag Berlin for No. 1, May 1976; No. 2, Sept. 1976; No. 3.1978; No. 4, 1979, No. 5, Nov. 1980 (in Cologne); No. 6, 1982; No. 7 (1983/84), October 1983. This ceased publication. Most recently it had an edition of 600 copies. The paperboard booklets comprised between 120 and 160 pages in DIN A5 format. Some booklets contained artist postcards.
The magazine was not self-supporting. It was financed by additional editions limited to 20 copies with signed original works such as drawings and collages of some of the contributors.
concept
The edition formed an international forum for works by Fluxus artists , Concrete Poetry , Visual Poetry and Conceptual Art . In addition to the often short texts, it contained a high proportion of graphic works in black and white. Issue 4, 1979, contains more thematically “picture stories” or “text pictures”, an intermediate area of visual poetry, but not in the sense of illustrated stories or described pictures.
She did not see herself limited to the Berlin, Cologne or German art world, but sought internationality in the selection of authors and artists. In terms of art history, it encompassed around 20 years of the avant-garde. Some of the contributors belonged directly to the Fluxus artists represented in Edition Hundertmark , founded by Armin Hundertmark in Berlin in 1970 .
