History

[edit]

e-flux and Revolver, Frankfurt/Main co-published a collection of texts between 2004 and 2005. These joint publications included: The Next Documenta Should be Curated by an Artist, edited by Jens Hoffman; Do It, edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist; and e-flux video rental catalog, edited by Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle.[6][7][8]

The Next Documenta Should be Curated by an Artist was released with a related seminar hosted by Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center in Istanbul, Turkey which extended the work done in the text to "provocatively question[s] the ascent of the curator, the value of the artist as curator, the future of international exhibitions and many less easily summarized tangents."Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).[9][10][11] In late 2004 Do It was launched in collaboration with Art Basel, at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, with contributors to the text including: Marina Abramovic, Allora & Calzadilla, John Armleder, Trisha Donnelly, Bertrand Lavier, Lawrence Weiner, and Yoko Ono.[12][13]

e-flux video rental catalog, published in 2005 is a reference book with contextualizing essays from Anton Vidokle, Julieta Aranda, Brian Scholis, and Jens Hoffman and text-based descriptions of selected contributions to the the e-flux video rental.[14] The publication, "inspired by the experiments of the expanded cinema, functions as a further extension or a translation of the project into the realm of text."[15]

The Best Surprise Is No Surprise was co-published with JRP-Ringier in 2006 and includes a commissioned essay from Daniel Birnbaum, an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, and over 250 selected e-flux announcements.[16] This collected material "documents significant recent developments in art-related media releases, which are now global, instantaneous and linked coming and going."[1]

e-flux journal

[edit]

In 2009, e-flux began distributing the printed version of the journal as a PDF-to-print edition designed by Adam Florin that can be found at bookshops and art spaces around the world through a network of distributors.[17][18] The first issue of e-flux journal was published in December, 2008. Shortly after The Building, Berlin, presented the e-flux journal as exhibition as part of their public programming, producing issues 0, 1, 2 and 3 in the space over the course of the year. As the editorial collective explained, "(t)his first presentation of e-flux journal in Berlin (was) a prototype for what a small art space such as The Building can do with this system."

In 2014 Mark Sladen wrote "e-flux journal focuses primarily on long-form texts, with little effort to style the reading environment or to employ complex audiovisual elements. It could be argued that the journal's simplicity is it's strength, as the publication's lack of formatting—and lack of large audiovisual files—means that it flows with greater ease across a multitude of devices. But it does this by making text its unchallenged king."[3]

Since 2010, e-flux journal has regularly produced thematic issues, often guest edited by writers and thinkers such as Irit Rogoff, Boris Groys, Anselm Franke, and Carlos Motta.[19][20][21][22]These issues are often accompanied by symposia and events at e-flux on the same theme.[23]

[edit]

The first publication in the e-flux classics series is distributed by University of Minnesota Press.

The text revisits historical accounts to think through the physical and social limits of human kind, with contributions from David Arkin; Vladimir Bekhterev; Alexander Bogdanov; Osip Brik; Vasiliy Chekrygin; Leonid Chetyrkin; Nikolai Druzhinin; Nikolai Fyodorovich Fyodorov; Pavel Florensky; R.

Events and Projects

[edit]

e-flux journal began participating in the NY Art Book Fair(NYABF) in 2009. Since then the journal has exhibited and organized events in the 2010, 2011, and 2014 fairs.

Art Book Fairs

[edit]

In 2011 the journal presented the e-flux book coop, "a mobile home for publications" at MoMA PS1 as part of the NY Art Book Fair, hosting the project in a trailer parked in the PS1 courtyard. After the fair closed PS1 requested to keep the Book Coop on view for a year. Initially presented at Art Basel as part of the e-flux Kopfbau project the e-flux book coop features art books, magazines, and other types of publications from members of the e-flux journal network, a group of over 200 international art centers, art book stores, and independent publishers that self-publish and distribute the print-on-demand e-flux journal. [25] As e-flux explained "Each member sends us a selection of around 5–8 titles and we sell them on their behalf at the price requested. We return sales less a tiny amount, which the book coop retains for operational costs. So there’s a lot of trust involved, especially so when we first began developing the project." [26]

In 2013 e-flux journal also participated in the Los Angeles Art Book Fair, presenting Art Between the Cracks: Sylvere Lotringer in conversation with Anton Vidokle as part of the inaugural edition of the fair's programming.[27] As part of e-flux journal's participation at the 2014 New York Art Book fair Brian Kuan Wood and McKenzie Wark held an event to discuss how the consolidation of finance and art asks for an update to the task of what Wark has termed 'the hacker class'" in "the classroom…an informal venue for artists, writers and publishers to feature new releases and present their publications."[28] In 2014 the journal joined Friends with Books: Art Book Fair Berlin, launching the 2015 co-publication with Sternberg Press, The Internet Does Not Exist. Taking the form of a mini-symposium with Metahaven, Julieta Aranda and Ana Teixeira Pinto, Hito Steyerl, Diedrich Diederichsen, and others.[29]

Venice Bienniale

[edit]

In 2015, e-flux journal was invited to participate in the 56th Venice Biennale, All the World's Futures curated by Okwui Enwezor. [30][31] This commission was realized as SUPERCOMMUNITY, an editorial project by e-flux journal supported by Wuhan Art Terminus (WH.A.T.), Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan, and Microclima.[32][33]

Logo/design

[edit]

The e-flux journal reader series logo was designed by Liam Gillick in 2009 for the first publication of the series, e-flux journal reader 2009. Gillick says that the three parallel lines that constitute the logo refer to his 2009 text Maybe it would be better if we worked in groups of three? Part 1 of 2: The Discursive, The text addresses how discursive practices "play[s] with social models and present[s] speculative constructs both within and beyond traditional gallery spaces." Gilick goes on to assert that "(t)he site of production today often exists within the text alone."[34]

Issues 0, 1, 2 and 3 of e-flux journal were designed by Francesca Grassi and Jeff Ramsey after which the e-flux journal Layout Generator was developed by Adam Florin, an "automated system to turn blog-like, long-scrolling-column HTML into rich, print-ready PDFs with more a varied visual depth and flow" was developed in dialog with Jeff Ramsey who has stayed on as the designer for e-flux journal, e-flux journal reader series and e-flux classics.[35]
