Edited by Linda Jensen and Daniel Kurjaković
With new contributions by Berni Doessegger, Sam Durant, Mariah Lookman, Adam Vačkář and Peter Voss-Knude.
Torrent magazine focuses on source materials by artists. The source materials include diverse types of documents constitutive of the artistic processes, and comprise preparatory materials such as project sketches, screenshots, newspaper articles, storyboards, photographs or diagrams, and many more.
Torrent magazine examines how these previously unpublished documents come to represent the circumferential sphere around conceiving and realizing works. The source materials hint at procedures, subtexts, informational noise, or potential extra-narratives of artistic practice.
Issue no. III (Winter 2015) features:
- Swiss writer Berni Doessegger on the museum, cultural forms of death and on de-revolutionizing art
