JB. INSTITUTE
It is a platform for creating publications or objects in close collaboration and with a personal approach with artists, writers or designers. Recurring themes can originate from skateboarding or music culture, documentary photography, painting or interventions in public space. Depending on the content, each publication, each object gets its own purpose and appearance and varies in the edition.
Founded originally in 2004 in the realm of electronic music in Berlin, publishing a music and art magazine in digital and print between 2006 and 2014, focusing on making zines, books, objects and art prints since then.
