Grøss is a contemporary art magazine with custom stickers hand-placed into each issue. Peel one out, and instead of an empty space on the page, you’ll find special content hidden beneath the stickers. (Check our video review to see issue one in action).
This second issue explores the unknown — the leap of faith, the abandonment of our comfort zone, the focused and relentless effort to continue what we started. From rappers to street artists, the issue asks, “What does it mean to make something out of nothing?”
[Note: Readers will receive one of the four covers at random]
