PRESENTACIÓN DEL PERIÓDICO SUBLIME (LAUNCH OF THE SUBLIME NEWSPAPER) Pay attention (motherfuckers) is a piece by Bruce Nauman from 1973 that perfectly synthesizes the new stage of this magazine. We return with our energies absolutely transformed with an irreverent, funny, acid magazine which is, at the same time, loaded with cultural content. We live in a socio-cultural context in which, it seems, the critical mass is a scarce good; hence we try to contribute it, but without stopping laughing, especially ironizing. We think there is room for everything, for thought and humour, for art and what art is not. I can only say that this publication is, at the end of the day, also a gathering of friends. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not talking about cronyism or collegiality, but rather about fidelity and support, empathy, complicity. We have been publishing the magazine intermittently since 2002. The one we are presenting now would correspond to number 30 (imagine the complicity!), although we are changing even the numbering. Hence, we begin a new era, where the change is substantial, contributing a new image with a new format annually. Now we are a newspaper that offers all the power to artists. We appropriate the aesthetics of Black Panther fanzines and their strategies to deliver, from what is truly fresh, a different magazine.
