ramona




ramona is a journal of visual arts based in Argentina.

ramona magazine is an independent monthly art magazine published since 2000 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The magazine uses a black and white, text only format and is limited to 100 pages. ramona is based upon an open submission policy in order to create a democratic system of dissemination and was conceived of as a way to give artists back their voice, and for them to reflect on the conditions of their production and their work. The magazine has become a landmark in the formation of visual art discourses within Argentina.

Around 300 authors - artists, historian, critics, curators, collectors, gallery owners, writers and researchers - have created a spontaneous polyphony with their collaborations in ramona. Some of them are Liam Gillick (U.K), Thierry de Duve (Belguim), Nelly Richard (Chile), Dmitry Vilensky (Russia), Brian O’Doherty (Ireland), Claire Bishop (U.K), Arthur Danto (USA), Gianni Vattimo (Italy) Abbas Kiarostami (Iran).

Many libraries in Argentina and Latin America receive ramona free of charge. In addition, ramona was invited to participate in documenta 12 magazine in Kassel 2007.
