magRush 23: Monika


Where to start with Monika? An art journal where nobody is named or credited, and everything is done in the name of Monika, it’s an experiment in magazine making that repays consideration but will be hard work for the casual reader. Such anonymity allows every story to veer in its own direction, every page to change design and look different. I find it really exciting and frustrating in equal parts, with extreme highs and lows. A significant high is the set of illustrated reported stories of feral children – I’d loev to know who did those artworks. then there’s the piece about imaginary (?) herbal remedies (below), which is presented like a pastiche forties magazine.
