Cedar Lewisohn and Nevermeter 

(Ian Allison and Kieron Livingstone) in Conversation with Iphgenia Baal

25th February 2014

The Nervemeter is an autonomous, non-profit magazine which is sold on the streets by the homeless. Founded by writer/editor Ian Allison and designer Kieron Livingstone, The Nervemeter has no advertising resulting in the magazine having a unique visual style and critical content.  Each issue addresses a prescient social theme; past issues have dealt with wealth, madness and 'alternative' employment.

                          

Cedar Lewisohn is an artist and curator based in London. He has recently been working on The Canals Project, a series of public art works for the canals of East London. In 2013 organised The Hecklers, a group exhibition for The New Art Gallery Walsall. Between 2005 and 2011 he worked as a curator for Tate. Lewisohn is the author of two books published by Tate and Merrell and has edited and published many publications over the last ten years.

The talk was a great opportunity to hear voices from a truly diverse audience, to get to grips with content, distribution strategies and the difficulties in maintaining an independent publication.
