The John Dory Report
Handmade in Christchurch, New Zealand. Latest issue features drawings by James Oram, photographs by Miranda Parkes, reviews by Harold Grieves and Shannon O'Brien, plus features on Tao Wells, Black Boned Angel and Rob Hood.
Reading South proposes an open environment to profile a collection of independent contemporary art publications from around the south. It also presents a rare selection of local journals that are interested in alternative perspectives.
This project was first developed as part of the South Project's Viewing South and Reading SouthProject Space at the 2008 Melbourne Art Fair, curated by Magdalena Moreno and Andrea Bell, with the editorial assistance of Fouad Asfour.
The Reading South Network blog has been developed as an extension of this project to promote publishing activities in the South on an ongoing basis. If you would like your publication to be profiled please contact us via:info@southproject.org
documenta 12 magazines offers a platform for the multidirectional transfer and discursive consolidation of knowledge. Reversing the established one-way exchange and dialogue it focuses on the discursive practice itself, with its respective languages, media, and transformations in various contexts. The South Projectalso endeavours to open up new channels for independent distribution networks, and encourages flexible forms of trans-local communication.
