M-A (A SPACE BETWEEN) Issue 4

Issue 4: SIGNALS

M-A (A SPACE BETWEEN) is an opulent publication of original and archival artworks alongside dialogues, in a limited first edition run of 650.

Published annually, presenting emergent with established excellence from around the world, issue 4 of the magazine continues a curated visual conversation. Works by 31 contributing artists are curated in a stream-of-consciousness visual narrative exploring Signals.

Artists include Anselm Kiefer, Daniel Obasi, Sun Yitian, John Cage and Yoko Ono and interviews with Lidewij Edelkoort and Martin Margiela, who also made imagery.

'At a time where so much seems out of control and out of reach, what we can do is learn how to respond to our instincts: how to see the signals. This issue was made out of that very impulse, and I hope will be a light source for you to signify your own change.' -Joe Richards, Editor
