EPILOGUE: MONO.POSITION #04 / TOKYO

Friday, February 10, 2012

Now, now, now – here are finally some installation images from our first exhibition presenting our three different projects mono.gramm, mono.graphie and mono.kultur under one, if small-ish, roof at the lovely Palette Gallery in Tokyo, which opened last Friday and is still on view until February 17. We’re still exhilarated and exhausted and thrilled to [...]

It is pretty rare we get some attention from big league newspapers like Germany’s FAZ, so thank you for that. Alas, in German only.

mono.survey #1 – pleased to meet you

Monday, February 6, 2012

When we first started mono.kultur in 2005, we had no idea we would still be around in 2012. mono.kultur was just something we thought should exist.

THE ULTIMATE FANZINE

Saturday, January 28, 2012

Normally, we are the ones behind the camera, so it’s kind of strange to have those roles reversed, as happened recently when ‘Germany’s best-kept fashion secret’ Frank Leder – not so secret if you have been following mono.kultur from the early days – returned the favour and proposed a meeting with us for Mercedes-Benz’ culture [...]

INTRODUCING MR WARE

Thursday, January 26, 2012

Since it’s all about Japan these days at the office, we thought we should share the introduction to our current issue with our friends on the island – since we’ve been including a Japanese insert with our issues sold in Japan through Utrecht for quite some time now.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Dear Friends,
our first project in 2012 is kind of an unusual one for us, but then again, we feel it’s about time – all too often we get asked about all these ‘other mono’s’: What is mono.graphie? And really, you run a fashion label? Well yes, kind of. Truth is: Our publisher, Kai von Rabenau, [...]

5000 in Likes

Sunday, January 22, 2012

Facebook, the international bank of bonding, has recently evaluated the trust and fondness index of mono.kultur to be more than ‘5000 likes’. As there is no 5000 bill of the new currency, yet, we thought we could still enjoy some 5000s.
THANK YOU!
…let’s keep liking.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO CHRIS WARE

Friday, January 6, 2012

When we asked our current cover star Chris Ware to send us a self-portrait, this is what he sent – including his wife and daughter. And an intriguing list of references that sadly didn’t make it into the issue, so we thought we should share them here.
