| Note: | Initiated by writer and critic Jan Donia and edited in collaboration with curators Gosse Oosterhof and Johannes van der Wolk, the publication R.A.N. sought to bring the new art in Rotterdam way beyond the borders of the city to find like-minded pioneers abroad. Part elaborate newsletter of the city?s art scene, part mail art project in itself, R.A.N. gives a beautiful cross section of the scene of the early 1970s. Twelve issues of R.A.N. were published in total, between 1972 and 1974, a time when both the International Film Festival Rotterdam and Poetry International just realized their first editions, galerie ?t Venster was showing the new developments in contemporary art, and the art space of the RKS, the Lijnbaancentrum (1970-1982), was rising to international fame because of its highly advanced video colour studio. |
