MONO.PUNKT #32: FOOKBAIR FRANKFURT 2015

Autumn rains are here, and so is the annual season of art book fairs. With the mother of all art book fairs leading the way a few weeks ago, publishing execs worldwide will move their smartphones to Frankfurt this week for the largest regular book gathering in the world, accompanied this Saturday by its little [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #05: UNCUBE

Last but certainly not least, we’re particularly proud to have digital architecture magazine Uncube join us for our roundtable discussion on independent publishing tonight. Since tablet computers appeared on the market, much has been said about the end of print and the irrresistible allure of a screen in your hands. A few years down the [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #04: IL PARADISO

Joining us at the last minute for tomorrow evening’s publishing roundtable is another worthy Berlin project that goes by Il Paradiso. Published annually every spring, it comes just in time for planning your summer travels – which is just as well, with Il Paradiso dedicating each issue to one country and with summer very much [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #03: FLANEUR

Flaneur magazine came out of nowhere (Berlin, that is) and turned out to be one of the great editorial surprises in recent years, and very successfully so. Their concept is downright minimalistic: every issue explores not just a city, but a specific street within a city – from Kantstrasse in Berlin for their debut issue [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #02: CEE CEE

Berliners who have any interest whatsoever in what’s going in our favourite city will be no strangers to Cee Cee – the weekly newsletter offering a handpicked selection of things to do and see, from bars and restaurants to events and hidden gems and curiosities. Initially started by journalist Nina Trippel and graphic designer Sven [...]

PUBLISHING ROUNDTABLE #01: BERLIN QUARTERLY

We’ve gathered some of the finest magazine projects to come out of Berlin during the past ten years for a casual talk on independent publishing this Friday, which we’ll introduce in a little more detail over the next few days.
Berlin Quarterly we mentioned before, and we’re happy to mention them again – more of an [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: STYLE & THE FAMILY TUNES (POSTSCRIPT)

The first magazine to commission me in Germany was fashion and music magazine Style & the Family Tunes, at the time Berlin’s answer to i-D or Dazed & Confused. Launched in the mid-1990s, it survived a whopping 17 years in which the media landscape irrefutably began to transform, leaving Style amidst its wreckage. Few genres [...]

ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: CLOG

As you can imagine, we’re all in favour of all things monothematic – and New York-based architecture publication Clog is a more than welcome addition to the club. Published twice a year, every issue is themed around a particular key topic relevant to architecture, be it Miami, Brutalism or the architectural legacy of the Guggenheim [...]

PRINT NOSTALGIA 02

Now that the mother of all streetstyle magazines, i-D, has been swallowed up by the Vice empire for a bright and digital future, it’s only fair enough to cash in on the long legacy of the printed edition with a look back at 35 years’ worth of more than 300 covers featuring that famous wink.

PRINT NOSTALGIA 01

Last night opened the exhibition Fashion Stories, curated by Wolfgang Tillmans at his Between Bridges space, showcasing a broad range of fashion photography from the 2980s and ’90s. More than that, it is a hommage to street style magazines such as i-D or The Face that proved so influential for generations of image and fashion [...]
