Reviews / Votes
"In recent years, IMMA has organized numerous projects involving not only artists but also writers, architects, musicians, filmmakers and dancers. We believe that in this acknowledgement of the interconnection between art forms, we are offering our audiences the context and background to understand, learn from, and enjoy more fully what we have to give. Boulevard Magenta, we feel, will further underline this multidisciplinary approach. In this respect, we are very happy to include here an unpublished interview with the late Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz. Some other institutions publish very good periodicals, but they tend to focus exclusively on the visual arts and/or museum theory. We wanted to do something else; and so Boulevard Magenta, echoing early international avant-garde magazines, will focus on art practice without excluding any discipline. In issue 1, besides the work of artists and writers, we present information about a new residential project in Dublin by Amanda Levete Architects, a script excerpt from the long-awaited new film by Tran Anh Hung, and an early unpublished score by Kevin Volans." -from the foreword by Enrique Juncosa, Director, IMMA"More details
