Synchron is an independent journal committed to exhibiting a diverse range of niche contemporary art, literature, and subcultural activities — particularly those created in opposition to, or in parallel with, the broader commercial art industry. The magazine allows its viewers to discover ambitious new artists beyond internet channels and offers its contributors a variety of ways to showcase their work.
The name suggests simultaneity — things happening at the same time, in different places, connected by sensibility rather than geography. Synchron documents the creative work that is happening right now, in studios and bedrooms and project spaces, by artists who are not waiting for the commercial art world to notice them but are getting on with the work regardless.
In a media landscape where most art coverage is concentrated on the market — the galleries, the fairs, the auction houses — Synchron turns its attention to the art that exists outside that system. It is a publication for readers who believe that the most interesting work is often the work that nobody is trying to sell.
