Aspen

I'm sure I posted about this before but a search reveals zoot.

Here it is again.

'This is a web version of Aspen, a multimedia magazine of the arts published by Phyllis Johnson from 1965 to 1971. Each issue came in a customized box filled with booklets, phonograph recordings, posters, postcards — one issue even included a spool of Super-8 movie film. It's all here.'

P.S. Anyone know any of them good sites that help with the reading on screen thingy? Interested in the retinal absorption of LCD canvasses.

If you want to see Aspen in the flesh, the National Art Library at the V&A have a copy of every issue. I did my BA thesis on Aspen and Fluxus publishing and used the original source material for the basis of my research. I'm a real sucker for multiples and avant-garde publishing so simply being able to leaf through the issues for real was incredibly exciting (I'm a geek). They also have a copy of Marcel Duchamp's Green Box... (too exciting for words...)
