a special box set of Mute magazine back issues

Original copies of nearly every issue* of Mute from 1994 to the present - 41 issues, including special inserts, CDs, software and artworks

Mute has been publishing on culture, politics, and technology since 1994, earning an international reputation for originality, humour and intelligence. The first incarnation of Mute was a barely disguised replica of the Financial Times, printed on the same distinctive pink newsprint. Since then  Mute evolved into a colour, highly graphic magazine, and finally into the hybrid print/web publication it is today. Featuring many of the artists, writers and photographers who came to epitomise London's status as a creative hotbed, the Mute Archive is a great addition to an academic or personal library.
