FrequencyThree times each year

The performing arts magazine Maska (in English: The Mask) is a successor to the modernist magazine of the same name which was launched in 1920. It has been published by the Maska Institute. A bilingual (English and Slovene) magazine appears three times a year and is mostly topic-related.

Areas covered in recent editions include genetic art, dramaturgy of dance, dance and politics, the performativity of political protest, theory on stage, gestus, eroticism, the new art and theory from the East, vision and visuality, theatrical strategies, performance education, new European drama, the inventory of the nineties, the pleasure of the automaton, etc. Each issue includes also interviews with artists and theoreticians, reviews of performances and books, as well as articles on the cultural politics.

International cooperation

Maska Magazine has participated in numerous collaborative projects, e.g. Fama, a bilingual (English and German) magazine published in co-operation with Frakcija Magazine of Zagreb to coincide with the Munich Dance Festival, which was dedicated to the thematisation of the status of the body in different cultures and artistic practices. The online journal in Kassel 2007, which compiled the articles that had been published on the leitmotifs of documenta 12 in the more than 100 media around the world, involved also Maska magazine.

Maska magazine’s new design by Martin Mistrik received an honorable mention at the Slovak National Prize for Design in 2007.
