Whether its the lure of reminiscence, the promise of the future, or scientific fascination, the fantasy of time travel holds universal appeal. The laws of physics suggest that time does not actually flow in any particular direction and therefore we might—someday—travel through time as freely as we travel through space. This issue of Conveyor Magazine explores time travel by employing the camera as our time machine; a tool that alters our temporal experience and transforms perception of time and space. A photograph eternally suspends a moment, leaving behind a document that we may then return to and investigate again and again. Photographs allow us to reassemble and manipulate the sequence of events. Timelines are thus reconstructed, the past is altered, new histories are created, and the distant future is just a shortcut away. Featuring projects by Jonathon Keats, Rachel Sussman, Katie Paterson, Susannah Sayler & Ed Morris, Matthew C. Lange, Jeremy August Haik, Burkhard von Harder, Susan Dobson, Jordan Tate, Marlo Pascual, Lori Nix, Simen Johan. The Group Show includes photographs by Sasha Tamarin, James Reeder, Jiaxi Yang, Daniel Terna, Aaron Canipe, Joss McKinley, Jennifer Garza-Cuen, Cassandra Klos, heatherm. o'brien, Tim Soter, Jay Gould, Gregory Vershbow, and Felicia Honkasalo. This issue was edited by Christina Labey, Dominica Paige, Liz Sales, Jeremy August Haik, and Jason Burstein. Designed by Elana Schlenker. Custom Typeface design by Or Type.

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. Playing with the theme of CMYK colour, the issue looks at global contributions to creativity and style, and the ways in which we work better together — and in full technicolour. 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

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.

This issue comes with a set of three collectable covers dedicated to our MAIN THEME survey, Dancing After All, exploring the riveting relationship between dance and contemporary art. This themed survey offers a fresh and in-depth perspective on the revolutionary possibilities of the body in movement, analyzing its aesthetic power, political charge and social impact—from the stage to the club, from the street to the gallery. The section is comprised of three interviews with cover artists Anne Imhof (by Susanne Pfeffer), Ligia Lewis (by Martha Kirszenbaum) and Alex Baczynski-Jenkins (by Kathy Noble); an essay by Francesca Gavin on dance in pop culture; case studies on British creative force FKA Twigs and American dance pioneer Merce Cunningham; a round table with performers/choreographers Maria Hassabi, Will Rawls and Cally Spooner moderated by Charles Aubin; and a visual insert by artist Cécile B. Evans. To follow, this issue's MONO section is dedicated to New York painter Peter Halley. One of the most theory-aware artists of his generation, here Halley talks at length with Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen about how his practice transforms the language of geometric abstraction into a commentary on our post-industrial, technologically-governed society; while writer Wendy Vogel brings up back to the INDEX years (1996–2006), when Halley was the publisher of the cult magazine of indie culture. The feature is accompanied by an exclusive photo shoot by iconic New York fashion and celebrity photographer Roxanne Lowit. The site for radical, specially-commissioned contributions by artists and creators, the VISIONS section includes: an insight into Loretta Fahrenholz’s new film, Two A.M., a fantasy tale on surveillance and social control; a conversation with curator Neville Wakefield (by Alessio Ascari) about the legacy of legendary 1970s magazine Avalanche; an intimate look to Talia Chetrit's pictures by fellow artist Sahra Motalebi; Spyros Staveris’ photographic testament to the ‘90s queer and underground scene in Athens; an exclusive meet-up between Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki and Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas; a sneak peek of Bjarne Melgaard's new clothing line, violently embracing the obsessive and self-destructive aspects of fashion; an interview with American artist George Condo by his Italian colleague Maurizio Cattelan; and finally, an introduction to Lou Dallas, the rag-tag collective of NY artists, designers and self-styled debutantes, with photography by Oto Gillen and a text by Alexander Shulan. In the opening section of HIGHLIGHTS, twelve profiles account for the best of the season: Augustus Thompson (by Samantha Gregg), Juan Antonio Olivares (by Allison Fonder), Caroline Mesquita (by Elisa Linn & Lennart Wolff), Ghetto Gastro (by Anicée Gaddis), Cibelle Cavalli Bastos (by Germano Dushá), Nico Young (by Myriam Ben Salah), Miao Ying (by Xin Wang), Derya Akay (by Jesse McKee), Enterprise Projects (by Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos), Flash Flash Flash (by Christopher Schreck), Jill Mulleady (by Franklin Melendez), and Diamond Stingily (by Hanna Girma). Finally in our closing section of REGULARS, Venus Lau joins the ranks of our columnists with “New Order,” a story-telling from a different time zone; Fiona Duncan looks at the photographic work of John Edmonds as part of her “Pro/Creative” series; Piper Marshall meets American artist Rachel Rose for some “Cheap Talk” on sound in film; in “Futura 89+,” Hans Ulrich Obrist and Simon Castets (with Katherine Dionysius) interview Ghanaian theater artist Elisabeth Sutherland; Alessio Ascari continues to probe the blurred lines of the visual reign in his series “Visualize,” interrogating the relationship between fashion and populism; and lastly, in “What’s Next,” we look forward to the season with Mohammed Al-Thani, the Founding Director of the New York-based Institute of Arab and Islamic Art. This issue is accompanied by Biblical Brutalist Bauhaus Bakersfield, a special zine conceived and designed for KALEIDOSCOPE by visionary designer Rick Owens on the occasion of his exhibition “Furniture,” on view at MOCA Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles through 2 April.

When ‘Volume’ started as “magazine to go beyond architecture” in 2005, the world was a different one. There was a lot of attention for the spectacular in architecture, for instance, and little for where society was going in relation to architecture: the urgencies and opportunities architecture could and should engage with. Since, Volume explored a wide variety of topics and terrains, each time looking for the added value of architecture. So, what is the situation today? in this issue ‘Volume’ focuses on current dilemmas (young) architects are confronted with, both in education and in setting up their office. It’s less about ‘going beyond’ as such, and more about impact and repercussions.

The biannual design and crafts magazine featuring remarkable stories about ordinary things returns with its fourth instalment – this time dedicated to the sink. An object that speaks volumes about who we are and how we live, the sink’s many alluring manifestations are featured here in a variety of ways. Some surprising sink typologies make an appearance, from inox sinks to kommunalka sinks, plus specialised sinks for pathologists, babies, and more. Inside, a short story by prize-winning author Kira Wuck, a series of photos of stainless steel sinks by Scheltens & Abbenes, writings about kitchenettes, and an intriguing photo essay about Suriname Jungle Sinks by Viviane Sassen.

Avant-garde and ironic, Dull is aimed at those in the know who are looking for a good time while rediscovering fashion. It showcases portraits of young designers, figures who are helping to change the face of fashion, and big names who have succeeded in transforming society by presenting new styles, positions and movements. Dull is a French fashion magazine focusing on the new talents taking part in the current fashion revolution. The world of luxury is changing. And Dull is hot on their heels. In a market where reviews boast increasingly perfect photo series from issue to issue, but where in-depth, investigative pieces are becoming scarce, Dull is looking to keep the magazine style while reporting on the latest trends. It will not be a polished, timeless fashion review, but a magazine. Its substance will always be its articles and information. Dull is positioned as a luxury printed object, with cutting-edge graphic design and an original holographic transparent plastic cover.

SLEEK dedicates issue 53 to The New Revolutionaries, the previously politically apathetic generation that is now waking up across the worlds of art and fashion. Dissecting the current generation are our art and fashion editors, Will Furtado and Jessica Hannan, seeing how these cultures respond during a time of deep uncertainty for the future. Additionally, we visit Juergen Teller at his home in Bavaria, where he talks about working with Charlotte Rampling and art in the age of Instagram. Elsewhere in the magazine, Grayson Perry talks about why men need to be feminists, and we have a conversation with Chris Kraus about failure and inventing Karl Ove Knausgaard. For our cover story, photographer Mark Rabadan and stylist Toby Grimditch join forces in a womenswear editorial entitled “Working 9-5”.

_Kontrolle aller Art von Bildern _Ästhetische Regeln von Zensur _Rezeption der Bildlichkeit _Buchlayout interpretiert zensierte Ästhetik _Mit einem Vorwort von Erik Spiekermann Diese Publikation der in Berlin ansässigen Autorin und Gestalterin Marion Kliesch wurde mit dem „Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg-Förderpreis für designkritische Texte 2016“ und dem „Förderpreis für junge Buchgestaltung“ der Stiftung Buchkunst ausgezeichnet. Bilder haben das Potential, Macht auszuüben, weswegen sie, früher wie heute, zurückgehalten und manipuliert werden. Die Gestalterin Marion Kliesch untersucht, wie Informationsunterdrückung bildhaft in Erscheinung tritt, also wie Bilder zensiert werden und was das für deren Rezeption bedeutet. Wie wirken diese Bilder und was lässt sich über ihre Ästhetik sagen? Und wie beeinflussen verdeckte, verpixelte oder unsichtbar gemachte Bilder unsere visuelle Wahrnehmung? Im ersten Teil des Buches wird die Vielschichtigkeit des Themas aufgefächert und beschrieben. Im zweiten Teil werden stichprobenartig verschiedene Fälle von visueller Zensur aus den Bereichen Zensur des Körpers, Zensur des Raumes und Zensur des Gedächtnisses analysiert. Die Beispiele spannen einen Bogen vom Verpixeln von Körperteilen über das regelrechte Verschwinden von Landesteilen auf Satellitenbildern bis hin zu Zugangsblockaden zum Wissen der Welt im Internet.

IV. “Base Matters” release event 22. 03. 2017 / 19h Mzin Leipzig and T+U are pleased to invite you to the release ​event of the 4th edition of “Technologie und das Unheimliche” magazine, entitled “Base Matters”. The key topic of the issue reverberates the works of Georges Bataille, as well as the spirit of DOCUMENTS, his renowned surrealist art magazine. The new issue of T+U, that has been designed by Anna-Luise Lorrenz, presents essays, collages, photos, and artworks of international contributors focusing on the versatile aspects of Bataille's subversive and ambivalent materialism. A materialism that aims to irritate the hygienic and synthetic realm of pure reason by proclaiming the triumph of formlessness, baseness, and abjection.

Final collapse will be guaranteed !!! ■ Event here… Technologie und das Unheimliche vol. IV. “Base Matters” “The process of becoming-soil is also the process of becoming bird, plant, crystal; it is also to become preparation, plastic or machine, since within our planetary conditions the formless vortex of technology and nature is the wild happening of the world. Such impure transformations are nevertheless production, processing and birth, for the process of creation is necessarily filthy, whilst, as Radomir Konstantinović argues in the spirit of Bataille’s legacy, only uniformity can be in- nocent.”

In einer Zeit schwieriger und verwirrender gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Transformationen, in der die Frage nach der Unterscheidung zwischen dem Wahren und dem Realen immer unmöglicher gemacht zu werden scheint, muss man den Blick möglicherweise – wie wir es bereits in den beiden vorangegangenen Ausgaben getan haben – vom Zentrum weg auf Peripherien richten, müssen wir […]

From 1986 to 2005, Helmut Lang systematically deconstructed every assumption about clothing and the way it is worn and communicated. As he himself once said, “I kept all the traditions and shades that were good — and then re-thought it all.” The Austrian designer’s lists of “firsts” is so long it could double as conceptual art. Lang was one of the first designers to collaborate with visual artists. The first to show clothing for men and women in a single presentation. The first to pioneer backstage photography as we know it today with Juergen Teller. The first to move a fashion house across the Atlantic … and the list goes on. In a 48-page dossier, 032c Issue 31 explores THE HELMUT LANG LEGACY and how his abrupt exit from the industry in 2005 has been felt like phantom limb in the world of fashion. The comprehensive study features essays by Ingeborg Harms and Ulf Poschardt, a roundtable with Tim Blanks, Olivier Saillard, and Neville Wakefield, an interview with Lang himself, as well as rare material from the Helmut Lang archive. Is Calabasas the new Abu Dhabi? Are the Californian suburbs the perfect place for new energy experiments in modern apparel? In an editorial shot by MERT & MARCUS and conceptualized by KANYE WEST, 032c travels to the Los Angeles exurb of Calabasas to bathe in the dust of the Wests’ under-construction home designed by Axel Vervoordt. The shoot features cameos by KIM KARDASHIAN WEST, KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN, AMINA BLUE, TRAVIS SCOTT, and others. “At the time we started collaborating, everything in the world of art and fashion was polished. Everything was smooth, so we felt that Prada must be rough.” For the past decade, a windowless concrete hall at the PRADA headquarters has become an architectural gymnasium for REM KOOLHAAS and his firm OMA/AMO. Traveling from Rotterdam to Milan, architecture critic Jack Self examines the phenomenon of the firm’s catwalks for the Italian mega-house, exploring how Prada and OMA/AMO have teamed up to create the foundation of a new corporate aesthetic. “You fuck. Or you don’t fuck. You can’t fuck a little.” In a 2012 reportage, writer Alexander Gorkow and photographer Andreas Mühe followed RAMMSTEIN on their tour of America. Since then, our private obsession with this document has become a matter of political urgency. What was once the anti-capitalist spectacle of an East German rock band in 2012, now reads like a seismograph for the right-wing political landscape of 2016. Here, we witness ideology’s opposite: raw energy unhinged from the burden of truth. As our contemporary economy grows to demand CREATIVITYfrom all of its citizens, it has become increasingly unclear exactly what “creativity” is. In a double-feature illustrated by the Japanese photographer Kenta Cobayashi, Joachim Bessing speaks with Wolfgang Ullrich and Lars Vollmer on how society’s idea of a creative ethos has transformed within the digital revolution. “People say this is vandalism.” 032c’s Bianca Heuser and photographer Nadine Fraczkowski take us inside ANNE IMHOF’s Angst, a grand and opaque artwork that has drifted across the world like a low-pressure system. Furnished with smoke machines, sleeping bags, razors, and bongs, the three-act immersive opera is a training camp for the denizens of hyper-capitalism. Founded as sneaker blogs in 2005, HYPEBEAST and HIGHSNOBIETY have grown into large and disruptive forces in fashion. Simultaneously fuelling and gorging on a new generation’s appetite for content, they have set a rabid pace that has multinational brands following suit. Travelling up the feed and towards “the heart of content,” 032c’s Thom Bettridge and photographer Lukas Wassmann visit the companies’ respective HQs in Hong Kong and Berlin to suss out what this revolution spells for the landscape of media at large. In the “SSENSE Files,” we present scenes of cross-platform madness from our work at ssense.com. The section features seven interviews with a range of cultural producers from rappers LIL YACHTY and SCHOOLBOY Q to jewelry designer GAIA REPOSSI, stylist ANDREW RICHARDSON, author NATASHA STAGG, artist SIMON DENNY, and artist/musician FATIMA AL QADIRI. In our fashion section, WILLY VANDERPERRE and OLIVIER RIZZO shoot Clara 3000 in the editorial “Don’t Dream It’s Over.” GOSHA RUBCHINSKIY and 032c fashion director Mel Ottenberg team up for the ultimate study on Seinfeld-chic, while PIERRE DEBUSSCHERE and 032c fashion editor Marc Goehring vaporize Flemish baroque into a warped digital reality. This issue, we also proudly introduce our “BERLIN REVIEW,” a section dedicated to our favorite printed matter of the season. All this and more on 296 pages!
