Fukt Magazine No. 23 – The Sound Issue

The Sound Issue traces the relation between sound and drawing, where they meet, overlap, and translate each other.

How can a drawing capture rhythm, voice, or noise? What does sound look like on paper?

From graphic scores and musical structures to resonance, vibration, and listening, this issue brings together artists who turn sound into image and image into sound. Some works follow the pulse of music, others trace the invisible currents of electromagnetic fields, the voices of whales, or the inner sound of thought and memory.

Featuring: Richard McGuire, Christina Kubisch, Daphne Oram, Dannielle Tegeder, Ariel Guzik, Katja Pudor, Zita Borbély, Lauren Housego, Camille Norment, Christine Sun Kim, Raven Chacon, Christine Ödlund, Clara Mosconi, Eduardo Partida, Henrique Vaz, Iannis Xenakis, Jorinde Voigt, Wei Ting Tseng, William Engelen, Diogo Pimentão, Irma Blank, Violaine Lochu, Dom Bouffard, Volodymyr Agafonkin, Channa Horwitz, Margaret Watts Hughes, Satch Hoyt, Julien Gachadoat, Satoshi Tomiie, Hildur Guðnadóttir and Brian Eno.

What is FUKT?
FUKT is a magazine for contemporary drawing. It comes without ads, beautifully designed with a focus on the visual, with occasional interviews with interesting artists and essays by engaging authors. The design and format are changing for each issue.

Founded in 1999 by artist Björn Hegardt, FUKT, which translates to “moist” or “damp” in Norwegian and Swedish, is a Berlin-based annual magazine for contemporary drawing. Each issue comes with a unique cover by Ariane Spanier who also co-edits and designs the magazine. From issue 16 onwards, the FUKT team began organising each edition thematically: from The Sex Issue on Dirty Drawings to The Words Issue and Fukt The System Issue.
