Specialist Notes
The magazine was born from the project and the collaboration of Maurizio Cattelan with Paola Manfrin and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster: "A second generation magazine with a free copyright" is the phrase that defines it and is hidden in every issue. Founded in 1996, 15 issues have been printed until 2007, for each of which there is a special edition differentiated from the others by the artist and with particular paper converting characteristics. It is a cannibal magazine, that is, made up of sequences of images extracted from other Italian and international magazines or of pages torn and then recomposed in a new sequence, based on the principle that the coupling of two previously unrelated images gives rise to a new meaning. There are no articles in the magazine and the texts are very rare, mostly citations. Each number has a phrase hidden that identifies it.
