Cercle Magazine in a few words
Cercle is an independent, thematic magazine published once a year. Each year, a new issue. Each issue, a new theme. Cercle tries to gather information around the theme and to offer a medium that promotes contemporary art, culture and science. The project is based on curiosity and the conviction that everything is interesting if you take the time to read it. This time is spent researching, selecting, printing and publishing. Cercle Magazine is therefore based on the idea of bringing together professional, literary, visual, scientific and artistic aspects of a theme in one issue.
Cercle is distributed in France and abroad through its two distributors, KD Presse Paris and Antenne Books London.
Cercle, who are you?
Created by Marlène Astrié, Marie Secher and Maxime Pintadu, Cercle Magazine is an annual publication edited by the Association Cercle which was founded in 2013 and is based in Strasbourg. They have been joined by Louise Cronenberger since 2021. The four of us are involved in the magazine on a voluntary basis. In parallel, we are artistic directors and graphic designers within Cercle Studio created in 2014.
Cercle is also a network of volunteers and paid positions, without which the magazine could not exist: editors, photographers, translators, printers, distributors, advisors, and supporters in many forms!
Support independent publishing!
Cercle is eleven years of varied, curious and even unexpected content, rich in exciting encounters. The magazine gives space and the floor to many enthusiasts, amateurs or professionals, who bring their singular viewpoint on many themes. Cercle supports artistic creation, not only through its publication but also through the organisation of events combining exhibitions, meetings, mixes, performances, tastings, etc. All this thanks to the investment of many contributors and an over-motivated team!
We are choosing to use the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank platform for pre-sales this year, so we can have a fair look at the number of copies to be printed, avoiding waste.
Pre-ordering here also allows us to ensure the magazine’s durability and to see new and more surprising themes appear in the future! And also to offer yourself a beautiful editorial object, thought out and produced with care and passion!
Cercle is an independent, advertising-free magazine. The magazine exists mainly thanks to the support of its readership, which represents the majority of its income.
It also receives support from the Région Grand Est, the DRAC Grand Est and the City of Strasbourg, as well as from partnerships with fine structures (HEAR Strasbourg, LISAA Strasbourg, Bruno Chaussignand, ARTE, Naomi Goodsir, Dim Sum Sam, ESAM Caen, Papiers Fédrigoni, …).
The items requiring the largest share of expenditure are the translation, distribution and printing of the journal. Originally created entirely by volunteers, over the years we have been able to pay for certain jobs: typographic design, writing, photography.
Finally, there is the organisation of events, to continue the work directly with the artists and the readership.
Cercle Magazine n°11: Thanks to you, Mythologia can continue to be anchored in the wonderful landscape of independent magazines!
