Afterall
A journal of art, context and enquiry

Muhka as co-publisher
The quarterly media magazine AS, which has already existed since 1978 and until 1999 was called Andere Sinema, was the flagship of the various reflective activities the Muhka aimed to establish. It was intended to be a platform and a laboratory for the development of a critical discourse concerning contemporary visual culture and covered not only the traditional fields of film, video, television and art, but also the broad range of visual technology and image-creation that enable the ‘visualisation’ of society as a whole.
The last issue of AS appeared in September 2007. The M HKA, which had published the magazine since 2003, effected a merger with the English magazine Afterall. Since then, the M HKA has been the co-publisher of the six-monthly international art magazine Afterall, which was launched by the curator Charles Esche and artist Mark Lewis in London in 1999. It is conveniently described as ‘A Journal of Art, Context and Enquiry’, and the resounding enthusiasm for research and enquiry it expresses link up seamlessly with the critical view of art that the M HKA has adhered to for a long time.
