Manifesto

The genesis of Interlude lies in the need to “shelter” ideas and samples of one’s artistic and personal research: work still in progress, or too fragile to let stand on its own, roaming ideas, or formed projects which stand lonesome, finding it difficult to fit within their fellows. These scraps of work need a home and a magazine could be the suitable place for them to be welcomed and take physical shape.
A magazine could also act as a melting pot where ideas could be stirred up, exhaling new inspiration.

Interlude is not a strictly political, social, literary or artistic magazine – any intelligent and interesting contributions are welcomed. However, the magazine is not intended to be a mere showcase for artists’ work – pieces should match the spirit of the magazine.
We feel that it is not fair to grab stuff and just throw it on a page for the sake of having it displayed - ideas need a “cosy” environment. We think that the page and the work on it should live together in a sort of symbiosis: the page emphasising the work rather than distracting from it. We value the principle of simplicity when creating a page, where the design is motivated by the content.
