FLUOR #03
Magazine on contemporary culture

Consider yourself a traveller but realize that today it may be that one can only be a tourist, contemplate tourism posters and ask yourself whether Spain is really different, converse with the ghosts of the most famous magician in history and of the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Look at portraits in the form of poetry, read how a painter confesses his photographic obsessions, comprehend that museums belong to everyone...

Also...

One journey by Hannah Collins that is transformed into many; pictures from glamorous 1940s Hollywood movies by Eli Cortiñas; the avant-garde manifest in the form of a comic by Fabián Marcaccio, and Liam Gillick's reflection on the aesthetics of production methods.

FLUOR is the place where your wish comes true, what you had been waiting for in a magazine and can now find every three months in your bookshop.

FLUOR is the exhibition that you would want to have on your bookcase.

FLUOR is a space for the imagination.

Why don't you endeavour to imagine with us?
