nummer is an independent magazine for contemporary art published out of Germany, operating at the intersection of criticism, documentation, and artist-driven content. The name — German for "number" — suggests something serial and systematic, and the magazine delivers on that promise: each issue is a carefully numbered entry in an ongoing archive of artistic practice.
The publication gives space to emerging and mid-career artists alongside critical writing that engages seriously with the work rather than merely describing it. The design is clean and considered, letting the art breathe on the page while the writing does the harder work of contextualization. nummer is not interested in the art market or gallery gossip — it cares about the art itself, and about creating a printed record that will still matter in ten years.
For anyone following contemporary art in the German-speaking world, nummer is one of those quiet, essential publications that curators and artists pass around among themselves.
