The lavishly designed literary magazine JENNY has twice been awarded the title of Austria’s most beautiful book and is now appearing in its eighth edition. JENNY is an anthology of poetry, prose, and drama, published annually by students of the Institute of Language Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. This interdisciplinary work unites artistic typography and design with experimental literary texts that frequently challenge convention.

JENNY. Ausgabe 08 reflects a broad spectrum of contemporary literature and language art. It includes an essay by Ronya Othmann on identity politics and appropriation and an interview with Andra Schwarz, artist-in-residence at the MuseumsQuartier Wien as part of the “JENNY passiert” project.
