“Do you want a new party? A revolution? A putsch?”
- “A magazine!” Dave Eggers

1. We are crazy about magazines. We love to touch them, to rumple them, to smell them, to take them with us, to throw them away or to keep them in our bookshelfs.

2. We call our conspirative network Holzmedienklub (”Wood Media Club”) because this pejorative term is often used by the web generation to show how antiquated print media is. But come on, real life is offline: Take a magazine and get out!

3. The problem is not the print media, the problem is the manipulative, corrupt and dumb mainstream media industry. The lack of ideas of the global publishing houses is frightening - since years nothing really creative has been produced.

4. We believe that the only innovative and revolutionary spirit in new magazines is coming from the underground - from fanzines and independent magazines in very small edition. Made by people with passion, and not by bureaucrats, analysts and all the other media whores.

5. There are still reams of inspiring, creative and fascinating magazines out there. But you won’t find them at your local newspaper kiosk. Perhaps you’re lucky and have a well equipped bookstore near you. But mostly you have no chance to find these magazines. The aim of our curated kiosk is to promote, distribute, award, exhibit and finance these magazines.
