About telehor
In 1936, the first and only issue of the magazine telehor (Greek for "television") was released in four languages, as a special edition on and by László Moholy-Nagy. This reprint makes the magazine accessible again in terms of its artistic and theoretical-historical dimensions. Particular attention has been paid to the production process, thus the volume appears spiral-bound, an ultramodern technique in the mid-1930s. This fascimilie reprint of the magazine is accompanied by a commentary volume, with an editorial statement by editors Oliver Botár and Klemens Gruber that places telehor in the context of the art and media of the 1920s and 1930s, and unlocks the position of the artistic avant-garde at the intersection of two epochs. It also contains new translations of the original texts in Mandarin, Russian, Hungarian, and Spanish.
Presented in conjunction with Moholy-Nagy: Future Present, open through January 3.
This event takes place at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Department of Art and Technology, at 112 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60603.
