Edited and published by the Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong between 1962 and 1967, The Situationist Times was an exuberant, multilingual, transdisciplinary magazine that became one of the most exciting and playful publications of the 1960s.

Throughout its six diverse issues, the magazine challenged the notion of what it meant to be a situationist. Contributors included Aldo Van Eyck, Asger Jorn, Max Bucaille, Pierre Alechinsky and Boris Vian; themes included “situlogical” patterns, labyrinths and topology.

Issue one: 30 leaves. Includes an essay by Noel Arnaud, an extensive certified transcript of the Criminal Court in Munich relating to accusations of production and distribution of lewd writings in the magazine "Spur" and public slander against Dieter Kunzelmann, Helmut Sturm, Heimrad Prem and Hans-Peter Zimmer, including facts of the case and an answer of the court, comics by R. Gasché and others, a Proclamation for L'Internationale Situationiste! and other contributions. show less

The life of these potatoes or “Pommes de Jong” are grown in the earth of a 13th century cellar in the Bourbonnais in France where there is no sense of time, and dry later on while growing their sprouts. The transformation of these “Pommes de Jong” - from their flowers and bulbes with testicles to dried specimens - are subject to deformation and modification for two years before being ripe for a bath to become objects like jewellery.
