Launch of Misery Connoisseur magazine / Friday 14 December 2012, 6 – 9pm

Magazine/Online/Live

“Misery Connoisseur collects the scrapings of a post-cynical generation and smears it on gloss.”
Richard Parry, The Hayward Gallery

MC is a bi-annual glossy magazine art publication that curates the visual and theoretical artwork musings
of up to 30 creative practitioners in print only.

MC Online showcases 30-second adverts video commissions from featured artists within the magazine. Skype becomes the template fictional toolbox to transmute the recorded image. MC Live operates between the lines.

The launch event provides a space to act out the private view. Leading up to each issue contributors to the magazine perform negotiate their work outside the confines of the printed page.
