STORE OF THE MONTH: ZABRISKIE / BERLIN

Wednesday, March 30, 2016

mono.kultur’s neighbours on the shelves of trusted bookdealers worldwide can be a little predictable sometimes – not that we don’t appreciate our fellow magazine makers, but we’ve come to know each other rather well over the years. So we’re pleased to meet some unexpected titles on the shelves of Zabriskie, a rather wonderful little bookstore [...]

FLIPPING OUT

Thursday, May 1, 2014

As with many, I sometimes find The Art to be indistinguishable from fashion, design, or decorative art, which is completely fine. However, the trend towards their sugary, whimsical ilk sometimes gives me one too many (hot)flashbacks of semi-reluctant jaunts around Anthropologie and its twee brethren.
When I first saw a feature praising Juan Fontanive, I spotted [...]

CORAL MAGIC

Thursday, April 10, 2014

Whatever our little minds might think up, you can’t beat nature, of course. Nature will just always win. And just in case one might have forgotten about that, watch Daniel Stoupin’s stupendous time-lapse film, Slow Life, painstakingly assembled from thousands of still life photographs of coral reefs in full bloom. Turn off the sound [...]

SPIRITUAL ART READY TO WEAR

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

With her spiritual and esoteric aesthetic, Hilma af Klint became a true pioneer within the abstract movement at the turn of the century. The Swedish label Acne dedicates its spring collection to the artist, by using her mystic and automatic drawings to create a ‘fake normal style’. The result is a subtile collection based on [...]

QUICK DRAW

Thursday, October 24, 2013

You read in doodles the automatic writing from daydreams. That is to be the philosophy behind Akira Horikawa’s 1000Drawing Project. For five years Horikawa’s regimen of drawing out daily impressions, oneiro-ventures, chances encounters have reaped a thousand images of the funhouse delirium. Fantastic, erotic, and sometimes eerie, with blank-eyed humans stacked and arranged [...]

PADDOCK TO PLATE

Saturday, September 28, 2013

It’s spring in the southern hemisphere and today I went on the inaugural ‘Paddock to Plate Tour‘ in conjunction with the 2013 Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. If you find yourself in the garden city of Toowoomba next spring I can highly recommend this tour (and you will even come across pineapples)!

The Best Of All Worlds

Jaysus, Warp Records certainly knows what’s good – so good luck hunting down a copy of this musical trifecta’s limited edition release on Record Store Day! (And in the meantime, welcome to the future).

Ready for Spring

Friday, March 23, 2012

We know most of us don’t own or rent a piece of land, don’t have gardens or spacious balconies and sometimes neither huge, tall windows (yes, we live in a big city), nevertheless let us tell you that you can still  get your hands dirty!
Terrariums and aeriums have never been as fashionable as they became recently. [...]
