White Fungus to be Media Partner to Colophon 2009


White Fungus is happy to announce it will be a media partner to Colophon 2009 – Second Edition, an international symposium on independent magazine publishing to be held in Luxembourg next March 13-15 in 2009. A biennial festival, the inaugural Colophon was held in 2007 and co-founded by leading Luxembourg independent publisher Mike Koedinger and Jeremy Leslie, Executive Creative Director at John Brown and author of influential publishing tomb Mag Culture.

Colophon 2009 is produced by Koedinger in collaboration with Casino Luxembog – Forum d’art contemporain. The international event will include exhibitions, talks, workshops, events and one-off publications, with more magazines, more attendees and a far more expansive programme than Colophon 2007. The symposium will be accompanied by a book, the second We Love Magazines, which explores the world’s independent magazine culture and contains the most comprehensive directory ever compiled on international pop culture magazines and the shops where you can buy them.

The opening exhibition for Colophon 2009 is BEYOND KIOSK - Modes of Multiplication curatated by Christoph Keller. A discussion between Keller and Mudam curator Chritophe Gallois will kick things off.
