The work presented in ISSUE NO. 3: PARTY attempts to instrumentalize the aspirational and its often oblique effects: a deconstruction of moods extravagant, prescribed, or contingent and, in particular, their very real modes of production. Rave or riot, gathering or gala—can we use the party to recuperate an architecture of those affective moments, once passed, we are prone to forget?

POOL Issue No. 03: Party, is accompanied by POOLside Small Talks, a zine comprised of interviews conducted by the editors over the course of the 2017 - 2018 editorial period.

POOL is delighted to make this issue available as a digital download. Although we have set all digital downloads to $5.00, any donations sent using the link below will be greatly appreciated!
