Balcony n.1
Balcony is an art magazine that distances itself from any art magazine you have ever read. Among its pages it collects conversations with and between artists who find themselves immersed in the gold of everyday life, whether it is a walk in Central Park, a jam session, a breakfast or a visit home.
Each issue contains a selection of dialogues reported as they occur, but also visual stories and original works of art.
Evading the conventions of both art criticism and the artist's profile, Balcony presents the artist's voice as its primary source, blurring the boundaries between the art world and the everyday.

The inaugural issue of Balcony contains ad hoc conversations and experiences involving a number of international artists, writers and curators, including:
