an initiative by Rob Hamelijnck and Nienke Terpsma


The editors of the Rotterdam-based art magazine Fucking Good Art, Nienke Terpsma and Rob Hamelijnck, proudly present their 12th issue: Fucking Good Art – International edition / Berlin.

This is the second time they have produced a paperback instead of their trusty A3 folded to A5 pink pamphlet with observations, critiques and reviews. It explores the (international) art world from a Berlin perspective, from the local point of view, in a mixture of articles, interviews, a crimi, a meta comic, reviews, and commissioned art works. It is their opening salvo on greater Europe's culturati, taking aim, this time, at the incongruities, banalities,ongoing conversations, and internecine conflicts that make up an integral part of urban cultural life in Berlin.

They do this no less with an unique mixture of brevity, wit, and hardball critique while displaying considerable elan.
