The September Issue
Dorade
For fashion magazines, the most important issue of the year, in terms of pages, readership and revenue, comes out in September. Dorade, an art and photography journal that examines codes of representation (especially in fashion), has been invited by the Biel/Bienne Festival of Photography to present its installation, “The September Issue.” This sculptural flatplan of an ideal issue casts a new light on the editorial work of Dorade by recombining and accentuating its content, forming a monstrous caricature of a magazine and its customs.
The magazine
Dorade, revue galante photographie et formes critiques is a journal of art and criticism launched in 2009 by Dorade Editions and based in Lausanne and Paris. Dorade is conceived as an exhibition space in printed form, where the editors function as curators, commissioning and selecting contemporary and historical works of text and image, and setting up a dialogue among them. There have been five issues so far.
