Concept Store. No. 1: Art, Consumerism and the Experience Economy

Arnolfini recently launched its new journal entitled Concept Store as part of its new publishing programme. Intended to broaden its critical engagement with the wider contemporary art and intellectual community, it will be published bi-annually in the autumn and the spring. Reflecting on Arnolfini’s programme, as well as wider concerns, the journal will be a discursive space for commissioned texts, artists’ contributions, interviews and other experimental forms for contributing to such a publication. Continuing Arnolfini’s engagement with contemporary design practice, each issue is guest-designed by a different designer. Issue 1 includes contributions by Åbäke, Cao Fei/China Tracy, Geoff Cox, Daniel Eatock, Nav Haq, Mia Jankowicz, Carol Yinghua Lu, Alex Rich
