Global Perspectives on Visual Vocabulary


34 visual artists and art collectives from 32 countries:

The 6th issue of PRŌTOCOLLUM, the annually published anthology dedicated to non-Western contemporary visual artists, art narratives and art history, has been released by DICKERSBACH KUNSTVERLAG. PRŌTOCOLLUM’s issue for 2019/20 features contributions by 34 visual artists and art collectives from 32 countries.

Next to its focus on non-Western positions in contemporary art, PRŌTOCOLLUM champions artistic autonomy over editorial sovereignty in order to provide authentic encounters with the presented practices. All contributing artists are invited to independently choose and create their content for PRŌTOCOLLUM without editorial supervision or intervention. This intentional restraint on behalf of the editorial team ensures that no intermediary stands between the artist and the reader. Expert comment and third party evaluation only take place if the artists choose to include such texts with their respective contributions.

The weight given to the artists’ authorship on the pages of PRŌTOCOLLUM is also expressed by the fact that the cover of PRŌTOCOLLUM does not depict any specific artworks and does not highlight any single artist, but instead lists all contributing artists to the respective issue of the journal as equally significant.

To further strengthen regional views and perspectives, PRŌTOCOLLUM has developed its own concept of peer review, by inviting contributors of previous issues to recommend notable artists from their regions. Being able to tap into the knowledge and expertise of such a diverse artistic community puts this journal in a unique position as a platform for non-Western contemporary visual art.

The motto ‘Global Perspectives on Visual Vocabulary’ epitomizes the intention to present a visual arts exhibition in the framework of an art journal, letting the visual flow rather than editorial criteria determine the sequence of the artists’ contributions and layout — undisturbed and uninterrupted by commercial ads or sponsored content. PRŌTOCOLLUM transforms the assembled submissions of a diverse group of contemporary visual artists into an “exhibition in a book”, a visual journey on which each reader embarks by opening the pages of the journal, and a journey that encompasses a wide variety of artistic materials, forms and themes, broadening our horizons beyond the well-trodden paths of Western contemporary art and promoting a new openness for true internationality in the art world.

Dan Halter’s sculpture Black Light, 2006, introduces the 6th edition of PRŌTOCOLLUM. It illuminates the first pages of the journal with the exclamation of “perfection”. Almost like an evocation of something we strive for but never reach, this installation attempts to instigate optimism in a global environment that has turned dark, cold and forbidding. And in this vein the positions the diverse ensemble of global artists present in this 6th issue work hard to counteract, to explain and decipher, to deconstruct and overcome and to finally convict as too pessimistic and misanthropic the dark environment that our world has once again become, after the initial enthusiasm following the end of the cold war, when the “end of history” was both applauded and anticipated with fearful reservation (excerpted from the Editor’s note, page 9).

Including its 6th issue, PRŌTOCOLLUM has chronicled non-Western contemporary visual art for more than half a decade. Since the first edition, PRŌTOCOLLUM has provided a platform for more than 330 artists from 102 countries beyond the Western cultural sphere to present themselves and their artistic positions to an international audience of art scholars, curators, critics and art lovers. In this period PRŌTOCOLLUM has developed into an annual anthology that serves as a reference work, a source of inspiration and a database for those who want to fully immerse themselves with established and emerging art of non-Western origin.

When nowadays the claim is made that the distinction between Western and non-Western art is outdated, then this is also the consequence of a new reality where the central position of the Western art world has been replaced by a grid of regional art centres located around the globe, each contributing to a new multipolar art world. PRŌTOCOLLUM has documented this development that has deconstructed the old division between the West and the non-West and formed a postmodern space of epistemological diversity, a modern contemporary art scene that is largely transnational and in which a new breed of cosmopolitan world artists draws from the profound knowledge of their cultural heritage and creates artworks in order to understand, and, obviously, to deconstruct the realities, ideologies and apparent rationales for a wide variety of social, cultural and political settings.

Global Perspectives on Visual Vocabulary


21 visual artists and art collectives from 22 countries:

The 5th edition of PRŌTOCOLLUM, the issue for 2018/19, features contributions by 21 visual artists and art collectives from 22 countries.

It begins with the title of Isaac Chong Wai’s treatise What is the future in the past? And what is the past in the future?, 2018. These questions, that express the relativity of reality as it is processed in memories and re-examination after the passage of time, also serve as a thematic summary of PRŌTOCOLLUM’s 5th issue that explores artistic interpretations and representations of historic events, current developments and future projections.

In their works presented in this issue, PRŌTOCOLLUM’s contributing artists reveal the relativity of time and of time-bound perspectives and their intertwining with the way reality is conceived by us, the human beings who are the protagonists in the history-creating flow of time.

Global Perspectives on Visual Vocabulary


39 visual artists and art collectives from 34 countries:

The 4th edition of PRŌTOCOLLUM, the issue for 2017/18, features contributions by 39 visual artists and art collectives from 34 countries.

The 2017/18 edition of PRŌTOCOLLUM brings together emerging talents and established artists from across Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, lending prominence to art scenes and developments otherwise under-represented in the Western art circuit. A must-have for collectors and professionals interested in a cross-section of contemporary visual art on a truly global scale.

“The international art scene” as a term and concept is still often understood as a synonym for the activities of Western art institutions and art-related professionals. In Western art history, the European perspective continues to dominate and Western art critics tend to develop artistic narratives with a European and North-American taste and focus. As a result, there is a conceivable imbalance in the exchange of relevant national and regional practices in art; a limited group of Western institutions continues to determine the canon of ‘international’ contemporary art. Given that PRŌTOCOLLUM’s mission is to address these issues by providing a platform for non-Western artistic perspectives and production, it is of remarkable poignancy that Runo Lagomarsino’s artwork If You Don’t Know What the South Is, It’s Simply Because You Are From the North, 2009, is placed at the beginning of the 4th edition of PRŌTOCOLLUM. This striking aphorism aptly expresses the deficiencies in the mutual understanding between the ‘West’ and the rest of the world, also in terms of contemporary art.

PRŌTOCOLLUM 2016/17
76 visual artists and art collectives from 50 countries:


The 3rd edition of PROTŌCOLLUM, the issue for 2016/17, features contributions by 76 visual artists and art collectives from 50 countries across Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.

PROTŌCOLLUM’s 3rd edition is introduced with Vesna Bukovec’s ironic comment Continue as if everything is right, 2014, alluding to the cognitive dissonance that allows us to continue our life as usual in a world that is not only full of social and political injustice, war, terror, mass flight and migration, but also experiencing political reactions to these developments in the form of populism and neo-nationalistic tendencies, which are at least as disturbing as the events that caused them. This introduction sets the tone for an issue of PROTŌCOLLUM which is somewhat more sombre and sadder than the journal’s previous editions.

The inaugural issue of PRŌTOCOLLUM, the issue for 2014/15, features contributions by 72 visual artists and art collectives from 54 countries across Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.

This could be a place of historical importance, 1971, was the statement that opened the journal’s first edition in the form of the eponymous sculpture by Braco Dimitrijević.
It served as an inspiration and a reminder of the task that PRŌTOCOLLUM was about to approach, developing into an annual anthology of non-Western contemporary visual art, serving as a reference work, a source of inspiration and a database for those who want to fully immerse themselves with established and emerging art of non-Western origin.

As an anthology of contemporary visual art, PRŌTOCOLLUM appears once a year and is published by DICKERSBACH KUNSTVERLAG, Berlin, www.dickersbach.net.

"WE LIKE BOOKS AND WE ARE ALSO MADLY IN LOVE WITH ART!"


"Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation." - Angela Y. Davis


Berlin based DICKERSBACH KUNSTVERLAG is a publishing house specialising in high quality books, monographs and artist catalogues by selected artists from countries outside of the traditional sphere of Western art history. It focuses on contemporary culture and pursues a goal of building communicative bridges between different cultures and artistic traditions. One of the publisher’s central themes is to address the Eurocentric and Western dominance in defining the criteria of which contemporary art is considered relevant. DICKERSBACH KUNSTVERLAG encourages publications that contribute new ideas and perspectives in contemporary culture and artistic expression, and provides a forum for the documentation of art history and artistic narratives from places of the world that are often ignored or marginalised by Western art institutions and art experts who nevertheless claim to present an international programme. The aim of this publishing platform is to reflect the full diversity of global artistic practice.
