Factory newspaper with subtle tones
Because the Weltwoche and SVP logos were emblazoned next to the swastika, the "fascist poster" for an exhibition at the Rote Fabrik caused a media frenzy last week and filled readers' letters columns. This week, the Fabrikzeitung (FaZ) delivered the small print edition of "Politics? - Die Detaillese" (Politics? The detailed reading) and proves it: On the right bank of Lake Zurich, you can also hit the fine notes with the left.
Because the Weltwoche and SVP logos were emblazoned next to the swastika, the "fascist poster" for an exhibition at the Rote Fabrik caused a media frenzy last week and filled readers' letters columns. This week, the Fabrikzeitung (FaZ) delivered the small print edition of "Politics? - Die Detaillese" (Politics? The detailed reading) and proves it: On the right bank of Lake Zurich, you can also hit the fine notes with the left.The poet Ernst Jandl mused in "Rinks und Lechts" that the political can often not simply be understood as left or right. In the editorial, the newspaper's editors write that this fact must be kept in mind, especially in a place like the Rote Fabrik. That's why, for the September issue of FaZ, they asked an international team of authors to think about the details in which the political is (firmly) embedded, what the political is like in design, art and film or whether dissidence has completely degenerated into a hip selling point. The answers are now available in the usual high-class design as a print edition and free of charge at selected locations in Zurich. The paper can also be downloaded as a PDF via the link below.
