Coming soon: Marcel Duchamp: The Afternoon Interviews by Calvin Tomkins March 2013 release date!

From the publisher:

“Fifty years ago we were pariahs. A young girl’s parents would never let her marry an artist.” —Marcel Duchamp In 1964, Calvin Tomkins spent a number of afternoons interviewing Marcel Duchamp in his apartment on West 10th Street in New York. Casual yet insightful, Duchamp reveals himself as a man and an artist whose playful principles toward living freed him to make art that was as unpredictable, complex, and surprising as life itself. Those interviews have never been edited and made public, until now. The Afternoon Interviews, which includes an introductory interview with Tomkins reflecting on Duchamp as an artist, guide, and friend, reintroduces the reader to key ideas of his artistic world and renews Duchamp as a vital model for a new generation of artists. This enhanced e-book includes five audio clips, including four from the original 1964 recording of the interview and a never before heard clip of Tomkins in 2012 telling a short story about Duchamp. Calvin Tomkins was born in 1925 in Orange, New Jersey. He joined the New Yorker as a staff writer in 1960. His many profiles include John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Merce Cunningham, Leo Castelli, Damien Hirst, Richard Serra, Bruce Nauman, Cindy Sherman, and Jasper Johns. Tomkins is the author of twelve books, including The Bride and the Bachelors (1965), Living Well Is the Best Revenge (1971), Lives of the Artists (2008), and Duchamp: A Biography (1996).

A show around the unique great Aspen Magazine @ Whitechapel Gallery in London.

From the museum:

The cult 1960s magazine Aspen featured contributions by prolific artists, musicians and writers including Peter Blake, William S. Burroughs, John Cage, Ossie Clark, Marcel Duchamp, David Hockney, John Lennon, Lou Reed and Yoko Ono. Few magazines remain and on display are all ten complete sets of the rarely seen publication. Issued in a box, Aspen was one of the first multi -media magazines and became a time capsule of the period. It was conceived by Phyllis Johnson, a former editor for Women’s Wear Daily and Advertising Age, and inspired by Aspen, Colorado, a popular ski resort at the time. Each distinctive issue had a different editor and designer who took complete control of the magazine.

On show is Andy Warhol and David Dalton’s Pop Art issue including a detergent box cover, and a special British issue with British Knickers, a sewing pattern by fashion designer Ossie Clark, souvenirs found by Peter Blake and The Lennon Diary 1969, a diary of the future written by the Beatles musician. Other highlights include films by Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Morris, recordings by Yoko Ono, John Lennon, William S. Burroughs and Marcel Duchamp, essays by Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag, and a psychedelic issue edited by Angus MacLise, the original drummer from the Velvet Underground.

8 years x Nero magazine. A new editorial structure and a renovated web site. Congratulations!

Eight years after its founding, NERO presents a new editorial structure. Conceived as a compendium of autonomous sections, NERO is a publication that collects other serial publications within it; a story composed of various chapters that share no narrative links, but that do belong to the same imagination. This is an editorial model in which each section corresponds to a project intended to activate interpretive processes or to rethink the modalities of presentation and fruition of the contents. New sections will be added and others will disappear: commissioned projects, authorial journeys and personal experiments. A way of thinking of the magazine not as medium but as object. Contributors in this issue Dario Bellezza  Andrew Berardini  Scott Burton  Matthias Connor  Mike Cooper  John Divola Julia Frommel  Ruba Katrib  Brian Kennon  Michele Manfellotto  Carter Mull Darius Mikšys  Doug Rickard  Tim Small  Terre Thaemlitz  Italo Zuffi NERO is also pleased to present a completely renovated web site with new sections, improved functions and special contents. NERO is a quarterly contemporary culture magazine—distributed in Europe and in the US—as well as a publishing house specializing in the production of artist's books, editions, and catalogues commissioned by museums, foundations and private collections. NERO also works in curating, art direction and consulting for cultural projects and contemporary art.
