Abstract
Mould is neither a magazine nor a book. Mould is a platform for transdisciplinary investigation, which aims to interpret the complexity of contemporary culture by stimulating a dialogue between its multiple forms and contaminations. We believe that the mould, embracing the notions of imprint and tracing, conveys our view of cultural press: a place to record the existing, make it circulate, generate new ideas. We see it both as an archive-like research and a source of creation. For each volume, a different guest editor representing a specific cultural area is asked to give his/her own interpretation of the mould theme – when we first conceived our name, we imagined them leaving their personal imprints on our structure. All together, our publications will create a subjective, unconventional and multifaceted witness of contemporary culture. Mould is a project by Alessio Cancellieri and Jonathan Pierini, published by Mould Press A. C. Issue one is guest curated in collaboration with the Berlin based architect Markus Miessen.
