Sampler: Voortuin magazine

It’s Sampler time, and this week we’re looking to the Netherlands and the brilliant piece of conceptual publishing that is Voortuin magazine.

We met the team at this year’s QVED conference, and loved their original, rebellious performance and their commitment to doing things differently. They’re notorious for challenging traditional notions of what a magazine can be (like the time they printed a magazine so small it could only be read through a magnifying glass) and we were very interested when they told us they were going to be publishing in English for the first time.

The result is a special issue consisting of eight printed items (a riso print, a screen print, several specially printed one-of-a-kind items, a CD-ROM, and access to digital content) all centred around the theme of business. But of course this is Voortuin, so rather than straight-up business content, expect a collection of stories and poems that take a satirical, acerbic look at the world of business.

Voortuin is a perfect Sampler magazine; it’s weird, it’s conceptual, and you won’t see anything else like it. As always you’ll get 10% off and free shipping, so head over to our Sampler page to grab a copy now.
