   SPIKE ART QUARTERLY

   Issue 03 out now!
   Spike started in 2004 in Vienna as an artists' initiative. It is a
   bilingual (German/English) quarterly and is available in Austria,
   Germany, Switzerland, Prague, Budapest, Bratislava at the kiosk and in
   selected bookshops. And soon in magazine shops next to you!
   Essay
   Each issue is introduced by an internationally known critic's essay on
   a recent art phenomenon. This time the artist / critic MIKE KELLEY
   makes an appeal for the artist as critic.
   Portraits
   It is spike's concept to offer art producers the possibility of not
   only taking center stage but also getting in a word on their selves
   and others. Again five striking international artists are portrayed in
   detail.
