“Fucking Good Art” is an international magazine published in casual succession by the artists Nienke Terpsma and Rob Hamelijnck. Since 2003 about 20 issues have been published in different contexts. While single-sheet newspapers are distributed to exhibitions and art institutions and offered free of charge, special issues with main topics are produced in cooperation with various publishers.
“Fucking Good Art – The Swiss Issue” benefits from the connections that the Dutch artists established with the local art scene during studio residencies in Basel and Zurich and, in connection with the exhibition “Shifting Identities – (Swiss) Art Today” at the Kunsthaus Zurich, develops an eclectic picture of contemporary Swiss art.
The Swiss edition brings together a large number of articles and conversations, text and image contributions from a wide variety of authors and is able to convey an dynamic picture of Swiss contemporary art. Theorists such as Adam Szymczyk, Rein Wolfs or Oliver Kielmayer, mediators such as Andrea Thal, Benjamin Sommerhalder or Daniel Suter, artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Heinrich Gartentor, Stefan Burger, San Keller or Till Velten contribute their part to this picture and open up surprising perspectives with their views.
Perhaps that is the secret of “Fucking Good Art”: The editorial view from outside does not care about the status quo, but ventures into its subject, Swiss art, in an extraordinary way.
