Using the unique UCL special collections, this one-day course examines the rich history of the magazine as an experimental and avant-garde form. We will explore the graphic and literary innovations of Modernist journals (BLAST, Dada, Cabaret Voltaire), artists’ magazines of the 1960s and 70s (Aspen, 0-9, Schmuck), as well as more recent radical experiments in periodical publishing.  The day focuses on hands-on study, giving students an opportunity to engage with some of the most iconic and ground-breaking magazines of the past century.
