Nowiswere Contemporary Art Magazine is a web-based publication, prioritising the moment of production and encounter, hence publishing issues as distinct bodies of work that are compiled in the specificity of its contributors’ time-space-experience. The title of the magazine refers to the inexplicable, ungraspable but palpable nature of ‘now’, commissioning artists, curators, critics, academics, theoreticians to project upon as well as to produce their reception of a marked instant of time in their current creative involvement.
