KUNST Magazin is a nationwide German magazine about ongoing art issues and current exhibitions.
Appearance, production and distribution
KUNST Magazin is published ten times a year (with double issues in Jul./Aug. and Dec./Jan.). It is bilingual, German/English, and has a monthly print run of 40,000 copies.
It is published in Germany, German-speaking Switzerland and Austria. During the first four years of publication, KUNST Magazin Berlin applied almost solely to Berlin, and distribution was also primarily in Berlin. Since January 2010 the magazine has been called KUNST Magazin´.
Until February 2007, KUNST Magazin appeared in DIN A6 format; since the March 2007 issue, the magazine has been published in DIN A5 format.
The magazine is self-distributed in hotels, galleries, museums and academies. Art experts and collectors, as well as persons in culture, the media and politics, with an affinity for art, receive KUNST Magazin by mail.
History
KUNST Magazin was founded in Berlin in April 2006 by Jennifer Becker, as KUNST Magazin Berlin.
Content and Issues
About 50 percent of KUNST Magazin consists of editorial contributions, such as articles, interviews with artists and collectors, book reviews, and a page for children. The remainder lists current exhibitions.
Since 2007, each edition has focussed on one main topic. So far, there have been for example taboo (03/08), dignity (02/09) and vision (02/10). Since February 2010, each edition has also featured one gallery. Towards the end detailed exhibition tips can be found.
The print edition is supplemented by the bilingual homepage www.kunst-magazin.de, which has a daily calendar of current exhibitions and the entire contents of KUNST Magazin. All published editions are accessible in the site archive and almost every edition is available as a PDF-Download.
Events
Since January 2010 KUNST Magazin has presented and organised a monthly meeting in Berlin at which art collectors make themselves available to the public for a moderated discussion and questions. Previous guests in this series have been Giovanna Stefanel-Stoffel and Maximilian Stoffel (January 2010), Thomas Rusche (February 2010), Ivo Wessel (March 2010), Thomas Olbricht (April 2010, Stefan Balzer (May 2010), Tommi Brem (June 2010) and Christiane zu Salm (July 2010). These conversations with collectors were moderated by Jan Kage.
