Founded by Theseus Chan in the year 2000, WERK magazine burst forth as a radical vision in the world of publication design. Each issue is a completely different object to the last, and together they form an artistic insurrection against the conventional fabric of printed matter. Each issue is also collaborative, and since STEIDL-WERK No.23: MASAHO ANOTANI DEFORMED of 2016, five of those collaborations have been with Steidl, including the latest: STEIDL-WERK No.32: MANIFEST. Featuring new drawings and texts by Chan interpreting and recasting the sights and sounds of Steidl at Düstere Strasse 4 in Göttingen, MANIFEST embraces spontaneity, imperfection, humor, play and the unpredictable. This is our creed, declares Chan, STEIDL-WERK is a manifesto rendered in ink and paper, a continuous revolution that reimagines what a magazine can bean art piece, a rebellion, a discovery in every edition. We are the art of print, ever evolving, perpetually redefining the essence of how stories are told.
