An art-journal issue from 1985—Parkett no. 6—produced in collaboration with Jannis Kounellis that translates his installation-based concerns into the format of a printed magazine.

The cover confronts you with a large, weathered red industrial door set within a stone portal beneath a bold, distressed "PARKETT" masthead, the scuffed surfaces and heavy architecture making the page feel like an entrance into an artwork.

This issue exemplifies Parkett's pioneering approach of treating the periodical as a collaborative artwork, documenting and circulating installation and Arte Povera ideas to a global audience.
