Notes of Textile Forum Magazine

TEXTILE FORUM enables people to make professional contacts and to exchange information and experiences despite national, ethnical, social and cultural confinements. The magazine reports on exhibitions, conferences, symposia, competitions, further education, fairs and markets in Europe and overseas. It provides information about projects, reports on their themes, their aims and opportunities to take part in them and is supplying dates, names and addresses. Many contributions are linked on the internet with the authors', organisers' and/or producers' own websites. Readers are thus assisted in further research.

TEXTILE FORUM broadens its readers' understanding of particular fields of research, development and practice. The magazine gives authors working innovatively in their various fields an opportunity to speak, for example, about everyday life aesthetics, historical contexts, new production and distribution methods, teaching and learning methods and also about questions concerning the development of art and design.

TEXTILE FORUM gives its readers access to the international media i.e. magazines, books, exhibition catalogues, informal publications etc. The magazine includes regular book reviews and an overview of new books.

TEXTILE FORUM offers, above all, a platform for discussions and aims to promote cross-cultural and interregional dialogue. It would like to help to clarify points of view in order to contribute to the wealth of textile culture in European regions. The magazine would like to build bridges between people in the various textile fields and help to make it easier for its readers to meet others, to communicate and to work together.

TEXTILE FORUM has a long tradition. There has been a German edition of the magazine since 1982. It has readers from many countries all over the world. Since 1994 Textile Forum also has been published in English, continuously expanding its scope by foreign readers and correspondents. The co-operation with other magazines and specialised associations could thus be improved essentially.

The European Textile Network has been co-editor of the magazine since the foundation of the ETN Association in 1993. Together ETN and TEXTILE FORUM are building up new links for the international media in the field of textiles, e.g. through the extensive ETN website with its online database providing events and addresses. This will improve the basis of information of national specialist journals.

TEXTILE FORUM readers are the first to receive information and if they become members of ETN they have the opportunity to subscribe to the magazine at a reduced price.

TEXTILE FORUM offers organizers and authors from all over the world an opportunity to publish dates and articles accompanied by visuals. Written material should preferably be typed and submitted in English or German after prior consultation with the editorial staff. We can, however, also use other texts written in native languages in exceptional cases. Photographs should be originals or in digital form. All authors' rights for written and visual materials are reserved. The magazine cannot pay fees for articles; publications should be free of charge and serve mutual interest. All visuals are returned after use.

TEXTILE FORUM is an ideal advertising medium for services and products for international distribution, both in the print version as also on the internet. The magazine offers a range of special terms and conditions for cultural institutions and enterprises e.g. for exhibition organisers, galleries, workshops, further education institutions and for specialist shops and businesses supplying artists' requirements (see Media information: Advertisers).
