00TAL is an independent fine arts magazine,
run by a non-profit organization, featuring contemporary
literature, art and debate. In its 24 years of existence,
00TAL – formerly known as 80TAL and 90TAL –
has scrutinized contemporary tendencies in essays, articles,
fiction and art projects, particularly in lively special
issues with topics such as Motherhood, the Brain, Hypochondria
and the Outsider.
One can call these special issues research projects on modern-day trends and movements. Since
the aim is to reach across the boundaries between art, literature
and science, 00TAL regularly invites artists, writers and
scientists from many different fields to participate. We
feel it is of the highest importance to broaden the research
in different subject matters to embrace a wider audience and
so that this research will not only be found in scientific journals.
We also see it as our duty to provide a necessary platform
for young, gifted writers, artists and scientists.

Consequently, 00TAL publishes new writers in every issue:
Alejandro Leiva Wenger, Sara Villius, Anna Jörgensdotter,
Jerker Virdborg, Petter Lindgren and Hans Gunnarsson are
some of the many, many young Swedish writers who have made
their first appearance in 00TAL. New interesting artists
are also introduced in different sections, such as ‘00TAL
Presents’. New currents in Swedish and international
literature is a recurring subject, as you might expect. In some
of the more recent issues, ‘Novellboom’ (The
Short Story Boom) and ‘Amerikansk novellzoom’
(American Short Story Zoom), from 2002, writers and critics
thoroughly examined one of the strongest trends in modern
Swedish literature, the short story.
Over the years, 00TAL has organised numerous
cultural, literary and artistic events; the peak of its
achievements, of course, being the Stockholm
International Poetry Festival.
