NEID
NEID was a queer-feminist magazine founded in 1992 at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts.
The art project NEID came into being through a constantly changing constellation of international authors, performers, musicians and artists. Heiko Wichman, Claudia Reinhardt and Ina Wudtke founded NEID in 1992. From 1995-2004 Ina Wudtke has carried it forward as single editor. The origins of the project and its name are to be found in Lacan’s discussion and analysis of Freud’s theory of penis envy (NEID, German word for ENVY). NEID considers cultural analysis and research as artistic work.
NEID is a transmedial project. Consequently, magazine production is not the principal purpose. NEID is much more concerned with promoting interdisciplinary dialog and exchange, irrespective of media. Public occasions of many kinds are sought and enlisted which then entails performances, diverse ‘events’, readings, shows and parties. Beside basements, clubs, theatres and record stores NEID has also played Museums, Exhibitions and the like acting as a bridge between the underground and established institutional forms of art and culture.
Since 1992, 10 issues of NEID magazine or ‘appearance’ have come to be with the following topical areas:
- NEID #1 – media theory and the Internet
