SPECIAL ISSUE ARMIN BOEHM

We are pleased to present this KÖNIG MAGAZINE special issue STARKBILDMALEREI by Armin Boehm.

"It was exactly here, in an exhibition by Armin in St. Agnes, that that this magazine came into being—from what was apparently a chance encounter with Bazon Brock. A conversation between concrete walls, between theory and painting, between metropolitan iconography and the present. A moment in which many things converged: biography, urban history, image politics. Berlin has always been a projection surface. For ideologies, for desires, for doomsday scenarios. Armin adds no illustration to this history—he makes it permeable." – excerpt of the prologue by Johann König.
