History

Texte zur Kunst was founded in 1990 in Cologne by art historian Stefan Germer and political scientist 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]

In an interview with Ingo Arend for the Die Tageszeitung, Isabelle Graw positioned the magazine as left-wing. Artist and curator Wolfgang Müller describes it as individualistic neoliberal and hermetic.[6] 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][7]

Editions

With each issue, Texte zur Kunst offers artist's editions by contemporary artists, which help support the journal's publication.[8]
