when I landed in milan in 2002 there was not yet an independent magazines "scene". surely there was not an alternative to flash art and I am 100% sure that there were no blogs or bloggers about arts as such. you could just comment on what was going on by writing a letter to mr politi from flash art.
then it came boiler, the first ever blog about contemporary arts and fashion with a f where you could leave comments and spread confusion if needed. confusion is sex, remember that.
then it came boiler on paper..
then everything else including uovo, mousse, caffelatte, the end, kaleidoscope, nero, slurp, apartamento, vice italy and very recently pizza and studio. Well, I think nowadays trees are even more important then yesterday. So unless you've got something to say which you cannot say on the web, avoid killling trees and breath too much oxygen. anyway you don't make a decent living from indie mags and if you need a portfolio, make it online. as i said, UNLESS you have something to say..which might be your case anyway.
ok then, fashion week is not yet over in milan but indie mags have had a couple of shots here.
pizza n.2 was launched at case d'arte with dubious performances, little pizzette and bearded girls while nero magazine presented a book of blondes by nico vascellari that also performed with industrial trashcore movers ninos do brasil. panic, coriandoli and pogo. really 90's with some twist. quite fun. here are some random pics of both events.
