"Winter issue - DEADLINE MONDAY 31ST MAY 2004
This is a call for contributors to a new arts and music publication. Feel free to forward this call to anyone you think may be interested...
VERSION MAGAZINE will profile established and emerging artists to bring coverage and context to a significant segment of the local arts scene which is under-represented. The print edition will direct people to the online edition. To be distributed in Auckland City and potentially Wellington, Melbourne etc...
The aim of the project is to create a forum for discussion, feedback and promotion, focussing on music, arts, theatre and literature - and various oddities that usually slip under the mainstream radar. It will contain previews, reviews, features, interviews, profiles, promotion and documentation, as well as a directory and events guide. The Version Magazine project will cover digital media and performance art - which presently receives scant attention. It will act as a bridge between the commercial/ formal establishments (e.g. Dealer Galleries, Fashion/Art/Lifestyle Magazines, Artscalendar.co.nz, NZMusic.com) and the more grassroots, DIY ventures (e.g. Artist run galleries, Eclective, Fleet FM, Foxymoron, Pelvic Trust, Databass) and serve as a critical index or definitive guide to local experimental culture with references to global movements.
VERSION is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting multidisciplinary artists and events based in Auckland City."
