A BIANNUAL MAGAZINE CELEBRATING INFLUENTIAL PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY CULTURE – from art to fashion, social history to music, architecture to current affairs

The theme for this issue of Orlando is discourse. The themes have always been deliberately capacious and open to interpretation, in order to allow for broad and nuanced responses. This issue is no different, intending to consider discourse as a means to explore ways of organising and sharing knowledge, experience, ideas, and also a way of re-writing knowledge, of communicating the silenced, the obscure, the unknown. In the era of Brexit, of Trump, of rampant nationalism, it has never felt more necessary or urgent to resist oppression, disrupt the canon, open borders, and breathe air into the foul-smelling echo chambers of bigotry and prejudice. Crucially, we also need to know when not to speak, and to think about listening, and how to elevate the important voices that are insidiously silenced by society. Orlando cuts through the noise of clickbait trolls and is an antidote to the ‘post-truth’ mainstream media. Publishing is a form of collective action, and discourse is an avenue in which to encourage radical conversation and critique. The articles and artwork in this issue consider and communicate ideas of amateurism and empathy, propose radical and alternative ways to experience multifarious identities, and consider how we can either academically analyse or casually converse about these new realities. The magazine at large is also inherently self-referential, by way of being a publication, and thus becomes it’s own document and testament to a varied and passionate discourse.

How do you find truth in an age without facts? The answer: wake up and stick together. In this issue’s dossier “US vs. THEM,” creative director RICHARD TURLEY explores how the Global Right Wing’s blatant disregard for reality has given us all a license to become Nonsense Warriors. Turning away from “them” and towards “us,” CATHERINE OPIE, NICOLAS GHESQUIÈRE, and STEFANO PILATI take us into their inner circles of friends, while COLLIER SCHORR turns BELLA HADID into Lisa Lyon. We revisit the work of MICHAEL SCHMIDT, and how his community workshops turned Berlin into a cauldron of contemporary photography. JACKIE NICKERSON shows us what Robert Longo looks like with a faster Internet connection, while CARSTEN HÖLLER takes us into his kitchen to explore the post-digital nature of food. We speak with VIRGIL ABLOH as he plots a fashion industry coup d’état and follow JASON DILL on a skate odyssey to hell and back to Fucking Awesome. And, last but not least, we make a pilgrimage to Santo Sospir, the villa on the Riviera where JEAN COCTEAU created his greatest Gesamtkunstwerk. Also included with the issue, our “HEAT UP HADID” TRANSFER KIT which allows you to create your own t-shirt emblazoned with this issue’s BELLA HADID cover.

Modern Matter’s Colour Model issue is about the way that a full and varied spectrum bands together to make a single fully-unified whole. We mean this literally, and also as a metaphor.

Issue 12 is Modern Matter’s biggest, brightest edition to date. Featuring Walead Beshty, Alex Da Corte, Mark Leckey, Seth Price, Beatrix Ruf, Amalia Ulman, and more. london, 2017

In 1949, the competition »Die besten Plakate des Jahres« (The Best Posters of the Year) took place for the first time in the newly founded Federal Republic of Germany. Designers could enter poster designs from the past year, a jury of experts awarded prizes for the best works. From 1966 onwards, there was such an annual competition in the GDR too. Many of the commended works from that time are today amongst the canon of German and international design history. The book tells the eventful history of the com­peti­tions and their changing shape over the decades. The picture section shows over 250 posters from 1949 to 2000 from a total of almost 4,000 award-winning works. An all-German poster history, which visualizes lasting changes as well as transient design trends and shows many of the best German posters, including works by Helmut Brade, cyan, Michael Engelmann, Frieder Grindler, Erhard Grüttner, Rudolf Grüttner, Hans Hillmann, Günther Kieser, Uwe Loesch, Holger Matthies, Pierre Mendell, Rolf Felix Müller, Volker Pfüller, Ott+Stein, Gunter Rambow and many others.

Any Part, Any Form is a follow-up to London-based graphic designer Radim Peško’s Informal Meetings (2010), a collection of photographs made during travels and wanderings to different places. This volume brings back found compositions and situations where seemingly unremarkable encounters between space, architecture and water suggest their own stories.

We believe that a man’s style is something that derives from his own personality, not from ephemeral “trends”. We enjoy opinionated men. Men with a sense of purpose and a soul. Smart, intelligent and creative; men with ideas and ideology. Men who are their own men, who don’t fit others’ standards. Misfits? Yes. We don’t believe in negativity. We believe in revolution.

KUNSTforum is the only Nordic magazine that covers comtemporary, modern and historical art and visual culture. In the print edition we publish selected articles in English, here we publish English articles from the magazine and some articles written solely for this website.

The platform is a limited edition bi-annual magazine, a portrayal of the beautiful everyday, lying right under noses that were so busy searching they forgot to notice. Style is everywhere; it is an act or gesture, an accent or slur or slang, the latest dog, the smoker’s cigarette, short hair is the new long hair; if you couldn’t care you still care. It is important to describe and distill the time we live in whilst always pushing things forward.

/ The idea to establish a magazine about painting, made predominately by painters, became concrete in 2003 during one of our many discussions – arguments about our own work and other painters that interested us. / We, along with most of our friends, have a long history of such discussions (usually in the pub) and built on fairly regular studio visits. These discussions are vital to us and we wondered if there might be a demand for a magazine that could act as a forum for the ideas and views of painters. / Partly because art criticism is not a science and because we believe good painting is not driven by ideological principles, Turps Banana does not carry a singular position or attitude about painting, but is as open as possible, in order to allow dialogues to develop. / What excites us most is that uniquely, the contributors are not critics or professional art writers, but practitioners whose contributions will hopefully illuminate their own practice as they reflect on their contemporaries and their interest in the history of painting. / We would like to thank all our contributors and readers for their support in helping to make the magazine a success.

Anfang der 1990er Jahre schockt Jeff Koons die Öffentlichkeit, indem er den italienischen Pornostar Cicciolina heiratet, sich in eindeutigen pornografischen Posen abbilden lässt und massenmedial inszeniert. Mit diesem Ereignis hob Koons die Frage nach Kunst und Leben auf ein neues Niveau. Die digitalen Techniken, deren Entwicklung damals begonnen hat, erweitern heute zum Beispiel über Facebook und Instagram die Verbreitungs möglichkeiten der Selbstinszenierung. Damit stellt sich die Frage, welche Funktionen Bilder in der Öffentlichkeit haben und wie Sie unseren Alltag neu bestimmen. Welche Erwartungen werden in diesem Kontext heute an den Künstler heran getragen? Welche Kongruenzen oder Differenzen entstehen zwischen der Person und dem öffentlichen Bild? Der Band Public Image beschäftigt sich mit den Erwartungen, Enttäuschungen und Potentialen zwischen privatem und öffentlichem Bild und zeigt neue Perspektiven der Verbindung von Kunst und Leben in der heutigen mediendominierten Zeit auf. Gleichzeitig wird in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Kontexten der Umgang mit Bildern in der Öffentlichkeit thematisiert und dargestellt, welche Funktion die Medien dabei einnehmen.

Mit der fortschreitenden Urbanisierung werden die Gegensätze von Stadt und Land, Zentrum und Peripherie, Kultur und Natur zunehmend aufgelöst. Der hierarchische Blick von der Stadt auf das Land wird umgekehrt, die romantische Verklärung des ländlichen Raumes als Ort der Natürlichkeit und Ursprünglichkeit, als Opfer der Industrialisierung und Verstädterung in Frage gestellt: Das Land wird zu einem ambivalenten Akteur, in vielerlei Hinsicht zum Vorreiter. Dem Philosophen Armen Avanessian zufolge sind Städte heute nur mehr vom Land aus zu betrachten, und dieses Land sei genauso wenig „natürlich“ wie der Rest der Natur.
