“Civilization is an occasional broadsheet newspaper founded in New York in 2018 by Richard Turley, Lucas Mascatello and Mia Kerin,” reads an email from Turley. “What began as a personal project about living in the city gradually morphed into an art project probing how language (messy, overheard, interrupted, charged) is used and experienced in public and private spaces. This process lent Civilization its distinctive rhythm, density and immediacy.”When I first wrote about Civilization in 2018, this gargantuan broadsheet newspaper was what New York Magazine called a “jumbo-sized, black-and-yellow paper … anachronistically heavy on text, to the point that it’s hard to take in all of the information on a single sheet. The design is intricate and playful, punctuating the pages with cartoons, mini feature boxes, and lists.” It was also very readable, if you invested the time”. Civilization #7 is now available in a newsprint edition of 1,000 from Printed Matter, Magculture and Public Knowledge Books.
