BLIXA Artzine has constantly challenged the artzine as a concept and is e.g. published as a bottle extract, with usb-stick, in box with cassette tape, a white cube exhibition in the urban space, and as a housing magazine. The individual releases have always been packed with unique objects, supplemented with video art, sound art etc. All these genres will be unfolded in the art gallery in an exhibition that is equal parts wunderkammer, library and happening.
During the course of the exhibition, the physical exhibition will be supplemented with events with guests from BLIXA's impressive back catalog.
Simultaneously with the retrospective exhibition, BLIXA's 11th edition will be published as an installation in Kunsthal Nord under the theme wood. The installation will mix text, photo, graphics, drawing, readymades (and maybe painting) ...
