Aspen: The Magazine in a Box

Artists’ magazines often experiment with form. Aspen magazine, which ran from 1965-1971, was known as “a multimedia magazine in a box.” It was started by Phyllis Johnson, a former editor of commercial magazines who had the idea while in Aspen, CO. She wanted to move beyond the traditional magazine’s restrictive format and arrived at a box containing loose pieces of various media contributed by different artists and writers. Contents include essays, poetry, prints, phonographs, and films. Each issue explores a different theme, ranging from Aspen itself to Pop Art to Fluxus and more. Aspen 7, displayed here, is dedicated to British art and culture
