Colophon 2007 : International Creative Magazines meet in Luxembourg

Many seems to believe (and wrongly I must say) that Luxembourg is a quiet and lost little place ;)
So for those who don't know, Luxembourg has been selected as European HeadCity of the Culture for the Year 2007. This "title" means that an amazing number of great  events is happening all around the year.

If you were in the Grand Duchy between the 9 and the 11 of march you could have attempt to one of the most creative event : Colophon 2007. Organised by Mike Koedinger, a Luxembourgish magazine editor and addict (who publishes some of the biggest magazines here in lux : Paperjam, Explorator, ex-Nico, ...), this event had for objective to invite the most creative magazines internationally.

Mission accomplished as I have been able to see.

For 3 days I have been able to talk with editors, designers, illustrators, magazines fanatics from Brazil, Lituania, Asia, France, Netherlands, UK,... 

The Casino d'Art Contemporain was hosting most of the event and offering enough space for the participants to move from the conference room to exhibits area...

...to the bar or to a temporary shop (base in the veranda, aka the aquarium) selling an amazing selection of the most creative mag. From content to design it was an amazing occasion to crawl around creativity...

Little Luxembourg really rocks sometimes!!!
