About This Item
New York.: Published by contributors under the auspices of Colab., 1977-1978.. Folded broadsheet newspapers.. (28.8 x 18.5 cm; 35.6 x 28.6 cm; 35.6 x 28.6 cm).. Complete set of three issues of the arts and letters periodical X Motion Picture Magazine (later shortened to X). Published in connection with the artists’ group Colab, the magazine was an ad-hoc collective publishing venture featuring writings and projects by Diego Cortez, Terence Severine, Eric Mitchell, Kathy Acker, Michael McClard, Duncan Smith, Jacki Ochs, Mitch Corber, Alan Moore, James Nares, Jimmy de Sana, Betsy Sussler, Arturo Schwarz, Beth B, Tom Otterness and many others. The magazine’s founders, Betsy Sussler, Eric Mitchell, and Michael McClard assembled the first issue by hand. Each artist financed and designed his or her own contribution, resulting in a heterogeneous array of layouts and typefaces. The magazine’s themes include French New Wave cinema, the Baader-Meinhof group, and punk music. The cover of the first issue consists of three stills from Godard’s 1976 film ‘Ici et ailleurs’, whilst the second cover features a found photograph of a man holding two swords in the shape of an X. The final cover references the Baader-Meinhof group, discussed in the issue, with the phrase “ed brigade” scrawled on a brick wall. [Ref. Gwen Allen - Artists’ Magazines. An alternative space for art, p. 311].
