The meaning of the word ‘error’, in its origin, is neutral. In Latin ‘errare’ means both ‘to wander freely’ and ‘to wander from the right path’. After the seventeenth century, however, the word ‘error’ lost its ambiguity within English usage and became clearly understood as wrong-doing, as defect, as a way of missing a desired effect.

The ninth issue of Pfeil Magazine focuses on the potential of erroneous processes to redefine the meaning of malfunction, and to take a look at movements that are aimless or non-productive. Through this reflection, ‘error’ is introduced once again as a possibility of wandering freely.

On top of the magazine release, a selection of Montez Press artists’ books and publications will be on display as well as old issues of Pfeil Magazine.
