Peeping Tom is a non-profit organization (Association Loi 1901) aimed to promote emerging artists:

After some successful auction sale, collaborations with magazines and exhibitions (see press review in section 3 of the press kit) , Peeping Tom is now launching its first publication : Peeping Tom’s digest. This first issue of Peeping Tom’s digest is dedicated to the Berlin art scene. Berlin being one of the leading place of creation for many years. Peeping Tom was willing to measure the pulse of its art community and showcase some of its highlights. For this publication, Peeping Tom scouted talents through an unconventional open call for submissions (see next page), based on the traditional system of chain of letter : in order to be eligible, aside from being part of the Berlin art scene, each applicant needed to forward the open call to one or several Berlin artists he (she) greatly admires.
This system of chain letters placed each participant in the position of a curator/editor by proposing one or several artists. Peeping Tom believes that artists are the most exciting curators and wanted them to take part of the process of creation of this magazine. This process brought out a network through a pyramid of contributions: in total, peeping tom received more than 220 submissions and selected 53 artists to be part of this first publication. THE CHAIN is also explaining the process and results of this one-of-a-kind experiment: the story and success of a chain letter that really works!
The genealogy of the chain letter has been recreated and is on display in the publication: the reader is able to see how all the different connections took place in this contemporary art chain of support. This magazine thought as an exhibition is a platform for artists to showcase their work. It presents artworks from diverse horizons including photography, video art, paintings, sculpture, music, theatre, dance, performance, design....etc.No restriction in terms of medium : Peeping Tom is looking to dissolve the boundaries between the different art disciplines.
This magazine primarily showcases a new generation of artists through a selective and ambitious selection. Unencumbered by the demand of profits, Peeping Tom is able to follow an unconventional, cutting edge approach. As a result of its relevant selections, Peeping Tom’s digest is a space for both professionals and amateurs, to discover the works of emerging artists.

Peeping Tom’s digest is co-published by Double magazine /Editions Otherwise.
