Fucking Good Art

Fucking Good Art is a traveling magazine for curiosity-driven research by Dutch artists and non-academic free-style researchers Robert Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma. FGA started as an A3 zine for art critique by artists, but moved into different directions and formats since. It is published on paper and online, and sometimes on-air or in the white cube, each issue developing in close collaboration with other artists, makers and thinkers.
Over the years FGA developed into an editorial project for research in-and-through art, mapping local art scenes and their conditions through conversations with active participants. FGA is interested in art, anthropology of art, oral history, self-organisation, anarchism, translation, and the relation between spoken and written language.
FGA’s most recent issue, an audio adaptation of a 1916 novel by Dada artist Hugo Ball: Flametti or the Dandyism of the Poor, translated and read by Catherine Schelbert, is published online alongside a read-along paperback and a 10″ vinyl, together with edition fink, Zurich. Enter Enter will show an overview of 44 publications made since the first pink pamphlet of december 2003.
