Public Illumination Magazine
- Public Illumination Magazine
Public Illumination Magazine (PIM) is an artists’ periodical published since 1979. Notable for its tiny size (11 x 7 cm), it features writings and images by pseudonymous contributors on a given topic for each issue. The general flavor of the contents ranges from parody to the absurd, with brevity a constant.
“…Public Illumination Magazine mocks the traditions of mainstream magazines. The pocket-size of the magazine, its use of pseudonyms, and its irreverent tone tweak the expectations produced by the large format glossy magazines.” [http://www.nyu.edu/library/bobst/research/fales/exhibits/downtown/ev/evzines/documents/publicillum.html]
Founded in underground art and literary circles in downtown New York by Zagreus Bowery; originally “non-weekly”, later “non-monthly”, then “non-biannual”, it is now “non-occasional” and published in Italy. Through 2007, 51 issues have been published covering the following themes:
