Posted by: Metropolis M

Metropolis M is a non-profit bilingual magazine on contemporary art. It is a commentator on new developments in art and culture, which it tries to put in perspective through critical discussion. Metropolis M likes to position its discourse halfway between the powerful German and Anglo-American critical traditons and the philosophical leanings in the south - of Belgium and France.

At the crossroads of artistic, cultural, and critical discourse Metropolis M can present beautiful panoramas which at times are insightful, clearing things up, and at other times, just a happy jumble.

Posted by: Mister Motley

Mister Motley is a full color, quarterly, magazine about contemporary art for people from 20 till 42 years old. Every issue has a theme. We have made issues about 'street life', 'family' and 'folk art', but we also work with more abstract themes such as ‘about death’ or ‘magic’.

Mister Motley has an inspiring, subversive but also strongly informative voice. The magazine inspires the readers to actively be a part of the website-issues: they can mail their own images to the website and have fun with the artists-made assignments placed on the website.
