todays news:


A Prior has published its second EXTRA issue
EXTRA#02 PROPOSAL FOR DOCUMENTA12 IN 2007

conceived and edited by Raimundas Malasauskas

To be freely distributed at ArtBrussels; Documenta12, and anywhere A PRIOR goes


A Prior’s contribution to documenta 12 magazines

documenta12_magazines is set up as a collaborative project between more than 90 on- and offline (art)publications brought together by Georg Schöllhammer for documenta12.

Over the next three months A Prior Magazine presents two new regular issues besides the EXTRA issue, published today. The first two partially take their cue from the conceptual outlines of the documenta12 project. Modernity? Our new antiquity? is the point of departure for A Prior Magazine #14, while A Prior Magazine #15 addresses issues and concerns implied in the notion of Bare Life.


Modernity? Our new Antiquity?

On may 29th 2007 A PRIOR Magazine #14 will be launched at the Photographers’ Gallery in London along with apmextra#02 and introductions by Sven Augustijnen, Raimundas Malasauskas and Dieter Roelstraete (tbc).

APM #14 engages the work of Sven Augustijnen from Belgium, Joachim Koester from Denmark and Deimantas Narkevicius from Lituania, and also features a special on Koeningsberg / Kaliningrad. APM#14 takes documenta’s own leitmotif ‘Modernity is our Antiquity?’ as its binding element.


What About Life?

A PRIOR Magazine #15, made with Belgian artist Valerie Mannaerts and Martha Rosler and Allan Sekula both US citizens, deals with Life; and will be launched at the opening of documenta12 in Kassel.

Educate me!

A PRIOR organises a seminar series and on-line project in the belief that pedagogy is a practice first and foremost.
