Parola Magazine Launches with First Issue on Museums
A new editorial project called Parola Magazine has launched in Milan, published by RP Contemporary Art S.B. and based in Turin. Each issue is dedicated to a single keyword, with the first exploring the concept of 'Museo' (Museum). The magazine features interviews with 16 art world professionals including Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Chus Martinez, Rein Wolfs, Giovanna Melandri, and Paola Antonelli. Creative director Leonardo Caffo, who co-founded the project with artistic director Roberto Maria Clemente, describes the magazine as a 'DJ-like' assembly of interviews, visual content, and digressions aimed at re-engaging generations with written complexity. The second issue will focus on spirituality and the sacred, with hopes to interview the Pope or the Dalai Lama.
