An explosion of architectural little magazines in the 1960s and 1970s instigated a radical transformation in architectural culture, with the architecture of the magazines themselves acting as the site of innovation and debate. Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines 196X—197X presented an overview of seventy little magazines, published in over a dozen cities, from this period. Coined in the early twentieth century to designate progressive literary journals, the term “little magazine” was remobilized during the 1960s to grapple with the contemporary proliferation of independent architectural periodicals. In addition to short-lived radical magazines, Clip/Stamp/Fold included pamphlets and building instruction manuals along with professional magazines that experienced “moments of littleness,” influenced by the graphics and intellectual concerns of their self-published contemporaries. Following its premier at Storefront, Clip/Stamp/Fold was exhibited at CCA Montreal, the Architectural Association in London and in many other venues around the world.
