Pist Protta

124a. The 7th Biennial Codex Book Fair and Symposium was held February 3-6 in Richmond, California, with a Nordic focus, including artists from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Thanks to Codex for making the symposium recordings available to all. We always try to keep it simple Åse Eg Jørgensen, Jesper Fabricius and Jesper Rasmussen are co-editors of Pist Protta, a journal like no other. Firstly because it is rare that a Danish journal dedicated to contemporary art survives for so many years – Pist Protta is the oldest existing art journal in Denmark – and secondly, because it does not look like any other art journal. The principal rule the editors have adhered to is that no issue is to be like any previous one in either format or content. According to the co-editors' motto Pist Protta is not only to be about art, but to be art, the individual issues can be seen as a hybrid between a magazine and an artist's book.
