Pulgar 15: la pichonera

This edition of Pulgar is based on the experience organized by Dulce Gómez and María Elisa Castro at the end of 1999 at the Quinta La Pichonera de la Castellana, Caracas.

Pulgar is a free magazine published independently in Caracas (Venezuela) and supported by the Prince Claus Fund (Holland). The magazine, edited since 1999 by artist and curator Luís Romero (Venezuela, 1967) defines itself as an ‘occasional publication’. This term is a key factor in understanding the magazine’s founding concept: a tool for alternative creative dissemination based on the excellence of its published materials. Not complying to a specific periodicity or a luxury status, its clearly defined visual identity responds only to the curatorial rigour demanded of each new issue. With a track record of over 20 issues designed and produced by curators and artists from around the world, Pulgar currently attracts a faithful readership in Latin America, Asia and Europe.
