CHINESE WHISPERS 36

Wednesday, July 12, 2017

We’re not sure why our latest issue is only now arriving in stores in London, but we do love the word ‘astute’. We love it even more in combination with the word ‘typically’. Is that really us they are talking about? And why is that tea only lukewarm again? Thank you magCulture for the kind [...]

Just to let you know that our mono.editionen #05 poster with Chris Ware, no less, is still available, capturing the whole range of wonder and melancholy that is adult life in one glorious wordless strip.

LAST COPIES: MONO.ARCHIV #02

Friday, June 30, 2017

Monday, June 19, 2017

MONO.KULTUR #43: FATIMA AL QADIRI EXCERPT #01

Wednesday, June 14, 2017

‘When I was 16, I started going to the clubs in London and did all the other things that I’m not supposed to say on record. It’s funny, when you think of the transformation of cities in one decade… Like the area behind Tottenham Court Road Station in 1997 had some [...]

MONO.KULTUR #43: FATIMA AL QADIRI

the world has taken a darker turn since we last spoke, so we feel it’s a fitting time for our new issue mono.kultur #43 with Kuwaiti producer and visual artist Fatima Al Qadiri.
Bending and fusing different genres of music, Al Qadiri has released a handful of largely instrumental albums that often imply [...]
