Artfan, published in Vienna between 1991 and 1996, stands out amongst art magazines of its time.
Consisting of long-form interviews accompanied by hand-drawn illustrations, with an overwhelming amount
of detail and a Situationist anti-copyright stance, it resembles a music fanzine, all the more so as it contains
no indication as to the editorship. Only a few of the contributions are signed by name, but the longer is the
list of artists that have a say in it, seemingly unedited. Interviews with Andrea Fraser, Martin Kippenberger,
Marina Abramovic, Jutta Koether, Mark Dion or Donald Judd alternate alongside photo-stories covering
the war in former Yugoslavia, or a feminist critique of bohemian constructions.
A reader containing a selection of interviews and other contributions from Artfan is published on the occasion
of the exhibition.
