Company Info:
Artforum was founded in 1962 in San Francisco with the
next publisher/owner Charles Cowles moved the magazine to Los Angeles in 1965 before finally settling it in New York City in 1967. The move to New York also encompassed a shift in the style of work championed by the magazine, moving away from California style art to Late modernism, then the leading style of art in New York City, with a shift towards more fashionable trends and away from Late modernism. A focus on Minimal Art, Conceptual Art, Body
art, Land art and Performance art provided a platform for artists.

Digital Calendar : January 2011
OUR MAGIC HOUR: How Much of the World Can
We Know?
The most intriguing works in the triennial establish an autonomous language for encoding visual forms of knowledge and memory. Yin Xiuzhen’s One Sentence, 2011, for instance, consists of the clothes of 108 individuals that have been unraveled and rewound into filmlike reels stored in round boxes that are themselves arranged in a spiral formation. The success of Yin’s work is due to the way it translates entire sets of material possessions into a matrix of abstract patterns—an approach that creates a sort of cultural and national fingerprint using garments that were made in China.
February 2011:
COLLABORATION/Paper/Priing to Images/Message
In addition to unveiling a brand new redesign, Print’s February issue examines the collaborative process in all its forms; after all, great design is a team effort. From the paper to the imagery to the type, if one thing isn’t right, great design becomes just plain old good design. Successful collaboration between all participants is the key. We also examine the relationship between unwitting or unwilling collaborators and highlight some of the best and worst collaborations of all time. This issue finally gives everyone their due and praises the people and business behind the scenes.

April 2012:
The Future of Design/New Visual Artists Annual
This issue looks at the future of design from many angles. We examine how universities and even high schools are promoting and teaching design and art. We investigate where the relationship between print and digital is headed and what on-demand publishing processes like Blurb and Newspaper Club are yielding. We look back ten years at predictions that never caught on (anyone remember Pagemaker?). And we ask visionaries to peer decades into the future to see what design might be like then.

Summer 2011:
SURPRISING DESIGN/Hand Drawn Color Competition Winners Revealed In this issue we surprise everyone by looking at design from a completely new angle. We examine design that shouldn’t work but does (Google, Craigslist) and at design that doesn’t work but should (Zune,Newsweek, the 2012 Olympics logo). We’ll take a special look at the use of both type and illustration, and question design that might be shocking or disturbing: Does it have a purpose and a place in modern society? We even examine life-or-death designs (the “choking” signs at restaurants, the CPR instructions on first aid kits, etc.) This will be the most interesting, unusual, and—yes—shocking issue in years! Bonus: A new department on type called “Stereotype”, featuring Paul Shaw and Stephen Coles.
September 2011:
Movement/Design that Moves Us, From Paper to
Motion Design. This issue of Print looks at movement and the design of movement in all its forms. From paper to motion design this issue will focus on the design that moves us. How we move through a space (an airport, a library, a restaurant), is it efficient or not, what signs do we see, what do they say, what do they look like, do hey help? We also look at web sites, film and environmental design: Do they move us the way they should?
November 2011:
IdENTITY/Creativity + Commerce Annual Issue
We feature the winners of our Creativity + Commerce competition, which solicits the best design work from around the globe. Plus we look at design identity. Branding and design are inextricably linked; one helps define the other. But what does brand actually mean, and what does it mean for the world of design? We ask this question to a handful of designers and look at successful and unsuccessful brands and what the trends are moving forward. We also examine the business card and explore this somewhat antiquated but still reliable tradition. Bonus: Special excerpt from Identify, the very first title of the Print book line. This high end design book features the award-winning work of logo designers, Chermayeff and Geismar and thestories behind their legendary work.
December 2011:
Regional Design Annual
The best known and most respected compendium of design from around the country, the RDA has been inspiring and delighting readers for years. This triple-sized issue offers a platform for established design firms to reassert themselves and show off new work. It’s also is an opportunity for upstarts to get their foot in the door and make a name for themselves. The RDA is our biggest issue of the year and a must-have for anydesigner or design enthusiast.
