An explosion of little architectural magazines in the 1960s and
1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture,
as the magazines acted as a site of innovation and debate.
Clip/Stamp/Fold takes stock of seventy little magazines from this
period that were published in over a dozen cities. The book brings
together a remarkable range of documents and original research
which the project has produced during its continuous travels over
the last four years starting with the memorable exhibition at the
Storefront for Art and Architecture in November 2006. The book
features transcripts from the Small TalksA" events at Storefront in
which editors and designers were invited to discuss their
magazines; a stocktaking of over 100 significant issues that tracks
the changing density and progression of the little magazine
phenomenon; transcripts of more than forty interviews with magazine
editors and designers from all over the world; a selection of
magazine facsimiles that have been fully reproduced at
three-quarter scale; and a fold out poster, inspired by the
exhibition's printed wallpaper, that offers a mosaic image of more
than 1,200 covers examined during the research. Just as each
iteration of the exhibition is an open-ended collaboration with the
visitors and with a different group of editors, institutions, and
collectors who provide a different set of original magazines in
each city, this catalogue documents a work in progress, hoping to
stimulate further discussion and research. The book features
original by a galaxy of remarkable magazine makers: Takefumi Aida
