Soldes ALMANACH

An illustrated almanac on arts, science, and society, dedicated to the wise men and the fools

Collaboration on Soldes #6

Soldes is the revival of Soldes Fins de Série, a Belgian quarterly first published at the beginning of the Eighties. In the words of Andy Warhol “the best magazine in the world” gained international renown few months after its creation, and was sold in nine countries, becoming an underground success on the sidelines of the media industry. In 2010 Soldes was revived as an almanac on Marc Borgers' initiative, with Art Kiosque, Paris, and 5C éditions, Brussels. “Made like a work of art”, Soldes discusses arts, science, and society, exclusively in print format.

Tsing, Eduardo Kohn, Marc André Selosse, Ernst Zürcher); In the primary forest of Bialowieza with Aleksandra Waliszewska; eco-sexualities; BD (De Groef and Herta + by Martes Bathory on texts by Antoine Boute); Lale Westvind's The Cannibal Banquet; Hypersomnia by Philippe Lardy; The microbial landscapes of Mirka Lugosi; architects decode the Profession of Living at Notre Dame des Landes; texts by Elitza Gueorguieva, Laura Peinetti, Misungui Bordelle; and all the discounters of the unthinkable.
