MARE ARTICUM is an international art
magazine which focus on contemporary art
in the Baltic countries and covers the most
innovative arts in all fields - from painting,
photography, video and text-based art. The
magazine creates a critical forum for the
discussion of the Baltic art scene and brings
together a distinguished group of critics,
writers and curators from the region.
The idea of setting up a magazine about art
in the Baltic appeared in Szczecin, Poland in
1995. The name 'Mare Articum' was formed
by removing the first letter from the
mediaeval Latin name of the Baltic Sea
(Balticum), and changing the 't' into an 'r'
perceived as a triumph of semantics over
grammar, visual and graphic principles of
reading over syntax, the proliferation of
words over lexical correctness.
Since its launch in 1997 the magazine is
published twice a year with each edition
centering on a particular topic.
Structure
The magazine is divided into several parts:
·Essays by invited critics on the given topic
of the edition
·Critical essays on given artists,
·Presentations of institutions of art in the
Baltic such as Museums and Art Centers as
well as residency programs and other
cultural initiatives etc.
Interviews with artists, and reviews of art
events and exhibitions.
Art Territories versus
International Art Language
First issue of MARE ARTICUM presenting a set of
essays on national identity and international idiom.
Facing the homogenisation of art phenomena, crisis of
cultural identity and shifting paradigms MARE
ARTICUM investigates how far art, which essentially
transgress borders, has in its forms renounced
national identity and reveals traces of national
affiliation.
Olga Tobreluts, Empire Reflections, digital photography, 1994
Utopia
Describes the mode of thinking which has existed ever
since the Renaissance at least in the theory of
architecture which declared its ambition to improve
social life by rationally organizing the spatial aspect of
social functions.
MARE ARTICUM presents projects and artists who
reveal the utopian perspective or question the utopian
approach.
Superflex – Bjornstjerne Christiansen, Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen, Biogas Project, 1996/7
Autonomy of Art?
Autonomy is in the most general sense is the right for
one’s own territory, whether such territory is
understood in the geopolitical sense or in the wider
sense, as a social sphere created by discourse.
MARE ARTICUM
arises a question
whether art is a
sphere which
possesses its own
differencia specifica,
or if it is a sphere
which is created
each time anew, in
the area of
discourse which is
by nature variable.
Tea Mäkipää & Pasi Man, Parasite, 1998
Beauty
is one of the most unstable notions in contemporary
art. An unconditionally redundant concept rooted in
romantic idealism for some, for others it exists solely as
a historical trope, for many it is a negative appellation
signifying a lack of content, for yet more it is the shifting
term, that has returned as a point of critical purchase
within the contemporary fascination with the image.
BEAUTY issue of MARE ARTICUM presents this
question in a variety of different approaches.

CyberBaltic
investigates new media art in the Baltic countries:
net projects, video art and digitally generated and
visually based works including those which
interactively integrate vision and sound and exploit
the new technical and cultural environments such as
virtual reality, computer networks and the Internet.

Gender Entropy
The contemporary world witnesses the inversion of
traditional tropes for sexual identfication and socially
acceptable division of roles. The feministic discourse
introduced several important issues into critical
thinking, whose appeal is easily observed within
contemporary art practice.
MARE ARTICUM tackles the theme of gender in art in
the context of the theoretical discourse that
accompanies it.
Marei Lehner, Nude Dresses, 1997
Globalisation
Issue presenting the influence of globalisation
processes on the cultural shifts in the Baltic region
throughout the practices in contemporary visual arts.
The phenomenon of globalisation is perceived as a
process of setting new social standards, a new
hierarchy of values, institutions of public life and every
day existence which results in convergence of cultures
and new model of the world which is becoming more
and more homogenous and not bound to a particular
territory.
AES – Tatiana Arzamasova, Lev Evzovich, Evgeny Svyatsky,
Rome 2006, from the Muslim Project, 1996
Art & Politcs
MARE ARTICUM
continues to focus on the
macrosocial issues
centering on those art
phenomena which are
based on the critical
observation of the social
realm and formulate
openly political postulates
to reshape the structural
values and institutions
which maintain them.
The issue presents those
art practices which
assume or simulate new
social situations and
attempt to implement
these practices using a
wide variety of strategies.

totalitarian version, 2000
St. Petersburg
The next edition of MARE ARTICUM will present
contemporary trends, creative attitudes and artistic
dynamics of Sankt Petersburg – the city having its 300th
anniversary in 2003 year.
The artistic scene of
Petersburg is presented
in a series of essays
written both from an
internal perspective of
persons from the local
critical and artistic circles,
and an external
perspective in texts of
critics, curators and
artists, who within the
limits of their artistic and
research projects had an
opportunity to get to know
the peculiarity of
Petersburg’s genius loci.

Maurycy Gomulicki, Vaginettes, light box, 2000
focuses on such artistic messages which come from direct personal
experience, meditation recorded as a result of a dialogue with reality, and
with the meaning of the most primary existential and ethical questions.
These questions have relativized and got terribly complicated through
erosion of universal values. The exhibition’s name reflects the span of
emotions expressed through raised issues, the amplitude of which ranges
from corporal practices with intensified emotions to poetic, intimate and
sublime gestures, or rather artistic whispers distilling the surrounding
area from superficiality.
