SWIM is a London-based annual art and photography magazine dedicated to collaboration and exploration. Each issue provides a space to work closely with artists on a central theme, offering insight into their process and practice.


The theme for our fourth and final issue is ‘Found’. Inspired by the concept of ‘Found Art’ – a term originally coined by Marcel Duchamp and epitomised by his seminal Fountain sculpture – this issue expands on the act of finding in artistic creation. Moving beyond the traditional definition of found objects, we explore themes of discovery in a broader sense: the artist as finder, the subject as found, and the act of searching itself as an artistic process.

Contributors: Alicia Gladston, Andrew Hunt, Arthur Davies-Evitt, CentreCentre Books, Claire Douglass, Ellen Woollard, Jeff Mermelstein, Joy Gregory, Karl Ohiri, Kerstin Brätsch, Khadija Saye, Kensuke Koike, King Owusu, Kirico Ueda, Leslie Hewitt, Lucia Hierro, Marguerite Bornhauser, Max Siedentopf, Paul Elliman, Penelope Umbrico, Peter Evans, Sally Gabori, Sam Hutchinson, Sophia Wöhleke, Sarah Elwen, Thom Corbishley, Thomas Sauvin.

Join us for the launch of SWIM 04, where we will be celebrating the final chapter of SWIM. The evening will feature a superstar DJ, a SWIM retrospective showcasing past launch posters, unseen films from across the years, and previous issues of SWIM that will also be available for purchase. 


This issue marks the end of the SWIM project, and we’d love to celebrate with everyone who has been a part of the journey. No RSVP needed – just come and enjoy.
