This first special issue, out even before number 1, is a response to and a proposal for the exhibition Le temps des manifestes at l’Espace de l’Art Concret put forward by Fabienne Fulchéri in June 2010. A visual and textual journey through the historic manifestos in the history of art - from Dada to Punk via the Situationists and the Bauhaus... Contains reproductions of works and documents, texts and extracts plus a few personal and off-beat additions insinuated by the editorial staff of OpticalSound.
This issue’s print is a sold-out collector’s edition. The original layout was meant to be read like a succession of flyers/big-character posters, but the volume's design was updated for the digital version to optimize your reading comfort.
