MAGMA No. 3: Archive of the Future
by Adriano Batista
Magma’s third edition is called “Archive of the Future.” It brings together twenty-five artists, writers, and composers. This follows their work with the Centre Pompidou on Surrealism. The publication exists where art books, manifestos, and living records meet.
Hans Ulrich Obrist, who wrote the foreword, describes Magma as a collection of artist archives that helps invent the future. He says these archives are not for certainty, but are tools for what could be.
In a time that feels uncertain, Magma asks if art can anticipate the world to come. Paul Olivennes, the founder, explains that an archive is a space where a society decides what it keeps and what it silences, making it a political act. But its poetry, he says, lies in what breaks the rules. This creates an “archaeology of the future,” where today’s works become the foundation for tomorrow.
The volume contains over one hundred new works. Elizabeth Peyton contributes portraits that explore the human face. Precious Okoyomon offers a sachet of cosmos seeds with poems. The publication includes Jean-Luc Godard’s personal archives, shared with a text from Patti Smith. Charles Ray provides audio recordings from his morning walks. Pol Taburet uses black as a new syntax in a series of drawings.
It also brings together unexpected dialogues: a fictional text responds to images from a Jonathan Glazer film; a visual correspondence re-reads a classic text; and German shepherd mannequins are paired with a QR code for a Beethoven symphony. The book closes with a reproduction of a major 1971 installation by Michel Journiac. An olfactory bookmark by Sissel Tolaas is also included.
Inspired by classic art revues, Magma creates a spontaneous meeting between artists and the public. It is a plunge into how creators see the world. All these elements form a living composition, an attempt to shape a memory that is still being made. Through image, text, sound, and scent, it engages the senses completely.
The launch includes an exhibition dedicated to Merry Alpern in London and a major group show in Paris, presenting the original works from the publication.
