ALTERNATIVES IN PRINT: DE-BUG

German De:Bug magazine was one of the first titles to offer me work as a photographer, and I spent a few years working quite closely with them; so even though we ended up going different ways eventually, I am sad to learn that after 16 years and 181 issues, the Berlin institution are currently preparing [...]

ACCIDENTAL COOL ART

Should we take a moment to consider the threat of careers in the art world due to the Internet? For instance, what is Richard Wentworth to do now that you can find the real thing on Tumblr, with Accidental Cool Art? (Which is, incidentally, really entertaining.)

MONO.STUDIO: TSESAY WEBSITE

Today is a good day. As is every day when something one has been working on for a few months is finally seeing the light of day, and so we’re happy and relieved that the new website we developed, in collaboration with programming wizard Christian Frey, for New York fashion label tsesay is online as [...]

FUTURE PERFECT

It’s a bit late to be hyping this now.  Or perhaps we are just very foresighted.
In any case, Plural Projekt was/is (will be again) a Dresden-based artists collective started by five students from the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts: Anna Grützner, Diana Welmeier, Denny Brückner, Patricia Detmering, and Benjamin Hummitzsch.  After a year of planning and [...]

SELF I E-LOVE

If you feel a shame-tinge when sneaking a selfie in the H&M changing room, here’s some validation.  Moving Image Art Fair London is holding a National #Selfie Portrait Gallery, featuring works by 19 new artists from Europe and the States.  As they are all video works, they are a bit more complicated than the average Instagram [...]

THE MODERN MAGAZINE

We’re thrilled to be included in the coffee table book The Modern Magazine by magCulture’s Jeremy Leslie, taking an in-depth look at the diverse world of contemporary publishing (fittingly, in the opening section titled ‘What is a magazine?’). A must-have for any editorial afficionado, it provides a thorough examination of the debate of print versus [...]

NOT THAT KIND OF PRINT

1 R.I.P. Alexander Mcqueen.
2 Democratically or not, today’s sartorial companies increasingly busy themselves with producing competent chic for the lowest common denominator leaving the modern modester to angst over the fate of haute couture.
Never fear: Iris van Herpen will provide your inner sartorialist ample relief.
Though the Dutch designer is just 29 years old and her house only 6, [...]

FOUND

The venerable publishing house of National Geographic is celebrating its 125th anniversary, and have graciously installed a new site to share the best of their infinitely vast archives of photographs documenting our weird and wonderful planet over the last 125 years. Need we say more? Beats any funky design blogs or fashion blurb by light [...]

SILENCE/SOUND

Evolution of Silence, Matthias Lohscheidt. 2013.
Degeneration of sound to the finer development of listening pleasures.
Might be interesting to read with Luigi Russolo’s Art of Noise.

ENOISMS #02: BLOOM & SCAPE

If anything becomes obvious from our new issue with Brian Eno, then it’s that here is a mind endlessly at work detecting and uncoding context, different relationships between people, technology, events. In short, the things accountable for culture.
So it’s not really surprising that Eno, who is probably the most forward-looking, future-embracing person we’ve ever come [...]
