Dancing On The Edge
We can safely say that once again, we had a Good Time at Dour. After our return to civilized life, I found myself in need of a few days of both mental and physical recovery, seemingly more so than with previous editions of Dour Festival; it makes me wonder if the drugs are getting stronger [...]
Dour of Duty – GET TO THE CHOPPER!
So we’ve been here about 16 hours and already, things are steadily deteriorating. Torn ligaments, unexplained bruises and a variety of lost items, the damage report for night one is increasing with every minute of conscious thought. Three bottles of rum depleted in the depths of night one – along with whatever other sedatives got [...]
POSTRmagazine Is Heading For Dour
If you weren’t sure about going to Dour this year because it’s a festival that attracts not only cutting edge artists but also a crowd that balances that very same edge and sometimes goes way beyond it…
POSTRmagazine ♥ NY
The people from De Invasie went to the great NYC and were happy to take POSTRmagazine with them.
POSTRmagazine #6: Funds & Ammo issue – Out Now
One would be inclined to forget, what with all the giant catastrophic oil spills polluting half the planet, our country’s Little League political elections and of course the World Cup footy taking place in South Africa, but the world is at war. Even as we speak, blood is seeping into shell-strewn sandy pavements and missile-blasted [...]
Grill The Vote Edition II: Fry All Beef
Where were you last time, when we were incinerating our voting letters at the first edition of Grill The Vote? If you weren’t in Gent, frying ribs and flipping burgers, you better make sure you are present this time so all your intellectual friends won’t think you’re a complete fraud after Election Day.
To Vote or Not To Vote
On June 13 we, citizens of Belgium, are all expected to step inside a voting booth and colour a dot, preferably in red. Many of us however don’t really feel like doing this, others do but don’t really believe in the power behind this gesture anymore.
That’s why we and the people from Ladda are organizing a Political Debate on May 25 at Sirena Contemporary Pop in Ghent.
POSTRmagazine in May delivery of Stack
The great people at Stack Magazines have included POSTRmagazine #5: The Art Issue in their May delivery.
We say thank you to that and hope to be in there again next year!
Calling all artists
POSTRmagazine is undoing the building Just like Gordon Matta-Clark would have done it In the midst of distributing our latest episodic pamphlet in front of the Royal Palace in Antwerp – which recently became a grotesque and gluttonous hideout for true chocolate devotees – we noticed that it will be a tough job to make [...]
The Early Bird Pt. III
Continued from part two. The truth is, it’s either rob or be robbed. Because if you decide to do the ‘right’ thing by physically going to the store and actually buying that new Lady Gaga album (which will be going for less than half its price in that same store in two weeks) instead of [...]
POSTRmagazine at Art For Free project, Genève
We are happy to announce that POSTRmagazine will be a part of the Art For Free project organised by La revue Daté at the ArtByGenève fair from April 28 ’till May 2. Art For Free is a project that collects magazines and other publications from all over the world, that talk about art. The thing [...]
The Early Bird Pt. II – The Copyright Issue
Continued from part 1. But there is going to be bloodshed in the streets of Hollywood. A lot of people are going to lose a lot of power and hopefully their jobs and homes in the process. Because face it, if anyone with a reasonably up-to-date computer can replace your million dollar studio and the [...]
Paying Pennies For Your Thoughts
In this day and age, it’s probably fair to say that legally speaking, you are a dirty thieving pirate or an accomplice of one, mainly because the law has made it nearly impossible not to be. Technology and legislation are clashing like never before. Never before in the history of popular culture has it been so enticingly easy to share (steal), yet at the same time so completely illegal to do so.
Lomography competition WINNERS
We have chosen the winners of our “Will snap for stuff” competition. So without further ado, here they are with a small explanation of why they won.
POSTRmagazine goes O.K. Festival!
Remember what happened when we went to Colophon? All that gratuitous boozehoundery, flinging of random obscenities and overall out-of-place-in-the-inner-circle-behaviour? O.K. Festival (April 16-17-18 in Arnhem) apparently does not, because they – for some bizarre and inexplicable reason, namely that they like our publication – have invited the POSTRmagazine-staff to come and share our ill-adjusted personalities [...]
Aesthetic Riots in the Kingdom of Chocolate
“If it’s aesthetically justified to revolt for a proper art policy, then our revolution starts today.” Sometimes a revolution needs nothing but a single shove to break loose once more. Maybe an admitted incompetent Minister of Culture – succeeding a couple of equally incompetent yet indifferent and unmeddling Ministers of Culture – who turns the [...]
Rewind Invites POSTRmagazine
Rewind Store invites POSTRmagazine to celebrate our first year of making a Counter-Culture Chronicle and the release of our new Art issue. What can you expect you ask? Well, first and foremost visitors can pick up their free copy of POSTRmagazine of course. Second, because the theme of this issue is Art we couldn’t just [...]
Lomography Contest: Will Snap For Stuff!
So you love pictures and taking them. Well, we here at POSTRmagazine do so too, which is why we are working together with the nice folks at Lomography: in order to share our mutual passion for depictive storytelling with two separate audiences who might turn out to have more in common than they might think. [...]
POSTRmagazine #5: The Art Issue – Out March 5
We’re back with a new issue of the most critical and least considerate magazine you’ll ever get for free. This time around, we are going to give the artworld a nice old kick in the shins. Why? Because it’s a naughty little world that has gotten completely out of hand and it needs some long-overdue [...]
POSTRmagazine available in Berlin
POSTRmagazine went to Bread and Butter Berlin to make sure people had something interesting to read and to party with the good people from Supremebeing who provided a supreme ad for our Money issue. While we were there we found some good locations for ourr magazine so as of now you can find POSTRmagazine at [...]

None Dollar Bill handout Brussels
A quick impression of our None Dollar Bill handout we did in Brussels on December 7th. To our own surprise it were the people with shiny suits and ties who liked our action and choice of weapon the most. Share on Facebook
Santigold Rides a Horse
We’re not going to beat about the bush here: this post has no relevance whatsoever if you insist on comparing it with the rest of our editorial content. However, it does feature nobody other than beautiful singer Santigold learning how to play polo. Like, the actual polo that you play on a horse, with a [...]
