MONO.KULTUR #49: SANTIAGO SIERRA

Dear Friends,
within the general feeling of unease, we are thrilled to present our new issue mono.kultur #49 with Spanish artist and activist Santiago Sierra, widely acclaimed and frequently despised for his controversial performances that aim straight for the point where it hurts the most.
Santiago Sierra is perhaps best known for his infamous ‘remunerated actions’, in [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: PARTNERS

In our distracted times, where we perform on multiple levels simultaneously but lack presence on all of them, a magazine like Partners makes perfect sense. Dedicated to real relationships in the real world, printed on real paper, Partners examines the ties that make up the fabric of our lives: our relations to family, friends, partners. [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: MACGUFFIN

Dutch design magazine MacGuffin has been gathering a swiftly growing following since its first issue came out three years ago, and deservedly so. Admittedly, at first we didn’t quite understand the buzz – while we are all for mono-themed magazines, MacGuffin’s focus on a mundane daily use object felt a little too specific for our [...]

mono.punkt #43: FRIENDS WITH BOOKS 2018 / BERLIN

It is that time of the year again, autumn that is, when Friends with Books come strolling around the corner, with the latest coolest prettiest books and magazines tucked casually under their arm. Yes indeed, opening tonight at glorious Hamburger Bahnhof: Friends with Books Art Book Fair Berlin for a weekend of printed matter fixation. [...]

mono.punkt #42: MULTIPLE ART DAYS / PARIS

Bonjour Paris, and yes indeed, this weekend we will spend at the rather impressive Monnaie de Paris, where instead of cash and coins we will exchange words and images and ideas, all thanks to the wonderful Multiple Art Days book fair in the capital of literature. If you are around, make sure to come by [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: CASA MAGAZINES / NEW YORK

Next time in New York, we know what one of our first stops will be: the tiny corner shop Casa Magazines in the West Village, which looks exactly like the kind of newsagent we can get excited about, inconspicuous from the outside, but a treasure chest on the inside. A family business of true magazine [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: CIVILIZATION

Civilization is the latest gem masterminded by art director celebre Richard Turley – a maybe one-off maybe not newspaper about New York, possibly, even though it’s hard to say. What’s safe to say is that it is unlike anything else out there at the moment, and yet so undeniably now. Irritatingly or refreshingly text-heavy, depending [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: THE END OF INTERVIEW

So sorry to hear about the demise of legendary Interview magazine, one year before its 50th anniversary – one of the first magazines I ever subscribed to as a teenager, and a guilty pleasure since the redesign by Fabien Baron in 2009. Interview was of course orginally founded by Andy Warhol and up to its [...]

mono.punkt #41: VERNACULAR ART BOOK FAIR MEXICO

Easter weekend is upon us, even though we wouldn’t guess so given the snowy skies here in Berlin, but Mexico, ah Mexico must be a different story altogether. And what better way to spend your Easter weekend than by browsing through some fine books by some of the finest independent publishers, all brought to you [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: THE REAL REVIEW

Reading The Real Review is a little like listening in on a conversation of people more intelligent, witty and mannered than oneself, and this is meant as a compliment: intelligent conversation is always a joy. As is The Real Review, London’s impossibly smart architecture quarterly launched in 2016, and about to release their 6th issue.
But [...]
