About

Magma is a multidisciplinary art platform, a curation studio, and a production company based in Paris, founded by Paul Olivennes in 2021. Bringing together editorial, curatorial, and production practices, Magma works across publishing, exhibitions, performances, film, artist collaborations, and cultural programming. Magma aims to create spaces to support artists. Magma’s foundational project is its annual print publication, dedicated to contemporary arts, distributed internationally in a format that evolves from one issue to another. Conceived as a forum for artistic expression, Magma is an invitation to participate in a dialogue that transcends the usual boundaries of the art world. It is a meeting place. Each artist’s contribution is an original or an unseen work, created for the publication or published for the first time. Each edition brings together creatrs from different generations and backgrounds — artists, photographers, writers, filmmakers, sculptors, composers, architects, scientists and thinkers. They have a free hand, both in form and content, to address a subject and build a narrative by producing a unique and original piece. Hans Ulrich Obrist, who wrote the publication preface, remarks: “Magma brings worlds into contact with other worlds.”
