Synchron Magazine

Synchron is an independent magazine dedicated to showcasing a broad spectrum of niche contemporary art, literature, subcultural practices, especially those developed in antagonism with, or parallel to, the larger commercial art market. Synchron provides its readers with an opportunity to discover ambitious, emerging artists beyond online platforms; and gives its contributors a versatile option to present their work, particularly now that galleries and other public spaces are closed.

The Synchron Pilot Issue “Current Frictions”, run by two students based in Berlin, focusses on showcasing a broad spectrum of niche contemporary art, thrilling and entertaining fictional literature, subcultural practices, especially those developed in antagonism with, or parallel to, the larger commercial art market. You will find works by emerging, sometimes self-taught visual artists and ambitious students, as well as well established artists. We do not change the tone of statements so they keep their raw, sharp edges and we allow critical voices to be heard. 

For the pilot issue we intentionally did not choose a specific topic, in order to find out what ideas and undercurrents our contributors were collectively reaching towards in these unprecedented times. It was only then, after the contributions had been sent in, that we chose the title “Current Frictions”. 

Another key factor is the spicy graphic design and high density of different 3D styles and radical breaks which satisfy the eye while offering large scale prints of various art works.
