About A Shade Colder Magazine:
A Shade Colder Magazine aims to draw connections between art in Estonia and elsewhere in the world Together with a variety of artists, writers, curators, designers, performers, architects and other creative minds, based both in Estonia and abroad, we aim to critically rethink how to speak about Estonian art on the local and international level.
Kaarin Kivirähk is the editor-in-chief and Keiu Krikmann is the managing editor of the magazine. The rest of the CCA’s team, Marika Agu, Maria Arusoo and Sten Ojavee serve as the editorial board of the magazine. The graphic design is created by Jojo&me (Johanna Ruukholm and Martina Gofman). The website was created in collaboration with WWW Stuudio. The contributors to the first issue include Sonya Isupova, Linda Kaljundi, Andreas Kalkun, Piret Karro, Shola von Reinhold, Hanna Samoson and Jan Verwoert. Half of the proceeds of the sales of the first issue will be donated to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in Estonia and to the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund.
