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.

Sie lauert überall, heißt es. Als Stolperfalle im Alltag oder drohende Klimakatastrophe tritt uns die Gefahr in unterschiedlichen Gewändern gegenüber. Ist sie erkannt, kann sie nicht nur gebannt, sondern auch vor ihr gewarnt und sie in Zukunft vermieden werden. Welchen Beitrag das Design dazu leisten kann, thematisieren wir aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.

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.

At the beginning of the 1970s US American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill developed the first ideas for colonizing space. Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cybercommunard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies. In this and in other editions of the CoEvolution Quarterly, the issue of whether space might already be colonized in the year 2000 is discussed. Fabian Reimann’s Space Colonies. A Galactic Freeman’s Journal refers to these publications. In his photo essay he assembles historical, present-day, and speculative material, which he combines with fictional and factual stories to create a composite of different images of the world.

The 25th edition of FANTASTIC MAN stars the magnificent artist and director STEVE McQUEEN on the cover, photographed in his adopted-hometown of Amsterdam while speaking his mind in between film projects. McQUEEN is joined within by literary sensation ÉDOUARD LOUIS, affable restaurateur JEREMY KING, enterprising actor WOODY HARRELSON, French comedic superstar GAD ELMALEH and photographer COLLIER SCHORR in a series of unprecedented self-portraiture. Elsewhere in the issue, five men get straight to the point in a new feature titled KINDLY PITCHING, the happy consequences of balding are investigated and the latest fashions travel to Tenerife, Newcastle upon Tyne, the metaphorical campsite and to TOM BIANCHI’s Palm Springs abode. It’s a milestone!

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.

AA Files is the Architectural Association School of Architecture’s journal of record and the successor to a long line of AA house journals (including titles such as AA Notes, AA Journal, Arena and AAQ) that began with the school’s founding in 1847. Launched in 1981 by the AA’s then chairman, Alvin Boyarsky, the journal appears twice a year and is sent out to members of the Architectural Association, individual subscribers and is distributed to a global network of bookshops. Since 2007 AA Files has been under the editorship of Thomas Weaver, the fourth of its editors, following Mary Wall, Mark Rappolt and David Terrien, who, with issue 57, initiated a redesign that saw the introduction of a new graphic design template, developed and still produced by the John Morgan studio, and a shift of focus in terms of its content towards more writerly models of scholarship, criticism and investigation, prompted not only by work, exhibitions and events from within the school, but by a rich and eclectic mix of architectural enquiry from all over the world.

Dieses Heft passt ja wohl voll in die Zeit, denn mehr Schlamassel, als er derzeit von durchgeknallten Regierungschefs wie Putin, Trump der Erdogan angerichtet wird, gibt´s ja kaum. Gleichzeitig kann sich ein Schlamassel auch wieder auflösen, weswegen unser Heft bei aller Zustandsbeschreibung auch Trost spendet, Lösungen sucht und z.B. der Frage nachgeht, wie wahrscheinlich ein Attentat auf Trump ist.

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 […]

Legendary photographer Ari Marcopoulos shoots the cover of the latest HERO. Inside, the photographer presents a 32-page project featuring his sons Ethan and Cairo, who he has been documenting for more than twenty years; old photos appear alongside completely new images, telling the story of three lives intertwined. Kim Jones, artistic director of men’s ready to wear at Louis Vuitton chooses filmmaker and photographer Dexter Navy to shoot one of the highlights of FW17 fashion week – the Louis Vuitton x Supreme FW17 collection. We shoot an exclusive Saint Laurent FW17 menswear story – in print just nine days after being shown on the runway in Paris, and a glimpse of Lanvin FW17, rebellious and dynamic. Photographer Paolo Zerbini travels to Poland for a story spanning HERO and HEROINE, shooting high-octane kids and their souped-up cars; we talk to actor Dacre Montgomery about becoming the new Red Power Ranger, and actor Cole Sprouse, star of hit Net ix series Riverdale, about graduating NYC and escaping the trappings of being a kid star. Artist Sue de Beer collaborates with stylist Paul Sinclaire on a dystopian vision of the future and hacker-turned-rapper YTcracker lurks in a chat room to discuss cyber authenticity on TV with fellow coder David Kennedy. Also featuring smooth-singing musician Zak Abel and introducing young Parisian label AFTERHOMEWORK. Danielle Levitt shoots a group of dirt bike riding friends in LA, Daniel King travels to Niagara Falls to street-cast and document kids with fashion director Gro Curtis. Plus actors to watch: Joe Cole and Austin Abrams.

Each cover of i-D magazine gives you a knowing wink that hints at the wonder inside. Cutting-edge and influential, this publication is well known for its superb layout and first class photography. From the UK, this manual of style was one of the first to break the barrier between art and fashion photography.

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!

The White Review No. 19 features an our interview with ALVARO ENRIGUE, a Mexican writer in New York, ALICE HATTRICK's meditation on illness and intimacy, an excerpt from VIRGINIE DESPENTES' Vernon Subutex (trans. Frank Wynne), and new poems from SOPHIE ROBINSON. We are also excited to present interviews with philosopher ROSI BRAIDOTTI (conducted as part of our collaboration with the Centre for New and International Writing at the University of Liverpool), on how the humanities can combat racism and sexism, and artist RACHEL MACLEAN, whose hyper-surreal dystopian videos offer a dark vision on the present times (and who also contributes a concertina insert of her recent prints). The are long form essays by JACQUELINE FELDMAN, on feminist protest group Femen; and conceptual artist JILL MAGID on her stay at the house of the late Luis Barragán. THOMAS CLERC (translated by Daniel Levin Becker) contributes a beautiful homage to his friend Edouard Leve, whose writing has featured in previous issues of The White Review. The issue also includes new fiction by JASON SCHWARTZ, poetry from CA CONRAD. The cover is by JULIA DAULT.

PROPAGANDA Propaganda, the manipulation of political opinion by means of carefully selected information or disinformation, is common to all eras. But rarely was the playing field so ambiguous and the players so hard to identify. Even at the highest political level, facts that appeared incontrovertible now seem to be ruthlessly parried by people wielding ‘alternative facts’. In an age defined by the alarming rise of Post-Truth politics, it is of the greatest importance to take a closer look at the nature and provenance of information, especially visual material. Historical examples aside, the portfolios featured in this issue come primarily from contemporary artists. These artists share a critical attitude to propagandist media strategies and the visual imagery deployed within them. Art has the capacity to expose power, and where possible show its true face. That is more valuable now than ever.

bauhaus 8 is given over to the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation’s annual theme for 2016: Movement. Its focus is on new departures in society, change and speed, migration and mobility as well as art and dynamism, architecture and performance, flights of fancy and locomotor systems.

“In this contentious moment in history, the stories we tell are a social responsibility.” —Sandra Cisneros How does the photographer navigate our new national order? As debates about the economic future of the United States continue into a controversial presidential administration, the spring issue of Aperture, “American Destiny,” offers an urgent reflection on photography, labor, and community. From agricultural workers to those toiling on the factory floor, from regional cities weathering years of postindustrial decline to refugee populations assimilating into the heartland, the photographers featured in this issue are bound by a desire to reveal how lives are shaped by the ebb and flow of the economy. “American Destiny” maps geographies of economic promises unfulfilled, weighing how the interrelated factors of class, sexism, education, shifting demographics, racism, and stagnant wages have influenced social life in the United States. – See more at: http://aperture.org/shop/aperture-226-magazine#sthash.YtDrfmXN.dpuf

This Kaleidoscope's new Issue comes with a special edition cover—printed in 500 copies only—features an unpublished image by photographer Ari Marcopoulos and three special stickers. As best exemplified by Marcopoulos’ portfolio of images published inside the magazine, the VISION section is becoming more and more of a site for radical, specially-commissioned contributions by artists and creators who shape and disturb our visual landscape.

Odiseo stems from a huge need to explore. Seeking a visual, unique and personal vision of seduction, digging into new formats, eluding conventions. Odiseo blurs the confines of traditional erotic publishing by combining imagery that lies between art and erotica with insightful philosophical essays which delve into universal themes. They aim for not only a visual experience, but for an intellectual seduction as well. Odiseo shouts out the unseen: it is contradictory, mysterious, intellectual and intuitive at the same time. This idea illustrates our mission with Odiseo: explore new ways and offer a different and cross-cutting vision of erotism that goes far beyond gender, seeking seduction through masculinity, femininity, bodies and abstraction.

This 9th issue shows works by Nowork, Bia Bittencourt and Broomberg & Chanarin but also features on Hulk Hogan, Camouflage, The Swiss Family Robinson plus quotes from Hillary Clinton and Hilary Duff and more…

Wie bilden Kunstakademien heute aus? Während Hochschulgremien weltweit Curricula entwerfen, Abschlüsse internationalen Standards anpassen und Promotionsstudiengänge für Künstler einführen, tauchen Studenten auf der ganzen Welt in das Experiment eines Kunststudiums ein. Der vorliegende Themenband spürt Ausbildungsorten weltweit nach, von Südostasien über Afrika, den Nahen Osten, Europa, Lateinamerika und den U.S.A, an denen gedacht, gemacht und geforscht wird. Besonderen Raum in den Berichten und ergänzenden Gesprächen mit Studenten, Dozenten, Alumni, Künstlern und Museumskuratoren nahmen die zentralen Fragen nach dem Verhältnis zwischen handwerklichem Tun und theoretischer Reflexion sowie zwischen Können und Wissen in den unterschiedlichen Lehrmodellen ein – mit der Absicht, ein möglichst breites Spektrum zu eröffnen, das Affinitäten und Differenzen zwischen den unterschiedlichen Kulturen im Umgang mit Techniken und Handwerk greifbar macht. Dabei soll herausgestellt werden, welche Bedeutung Akademien und Kunsthochschulen der Ausbildung von Materialfertigkeiten in der Lehre heute zuschreiben.

Was weiß die Architektur? Wir nehmen an, ihr Wissen ist selbstverständlich, eine allgemein geteilte Grundlage unserer Arbeit. Etwas Abgeschlossenes, Vollkommenes, das bloß der Erinnerung und Interpretation bedarf. Dabei ist kaum auszumachen was seine Produktion und seine Konsumtion ausmacht, und wie diese zusammenhängen. Wissen wir, wann wir uns im Wissen bewegen und wann wir seine Grenzen verlassen? Horizonte sucht nach wissenschaftlichen Erklärungsversuchen und unwissenschaftlichen Antworten. Wir bewegen uns zwischen dem Konkreten und dem Abstrakten, zwischen dem Kollektiv und dem Einzigartigen, zwischen dem Bewussten und dem Zufall.

n+1 is a print and digital magazine of literature, culture, and politics published three times a year. They also post new online-only work several times each week and publish books expanding on the interests of the magazine. Issue 27 is named Deep End and features: Trump Rex. The end of Atlantic City.

The Borrowers: Copyright and its Discontents The first copyright law, made in the eighteenth century, granted artists the exclusive right to control the copying of their original creations for 14 years. Too brief a period? Perhaps, but by the beginning of the twenty-first century, copyright’s term had grown to cover the life of the artist plus 70 years – which means that Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avigon will remain protected until 2043, 136 years after it was completed. Too long, surely? In this issue we look at the twentieth-century phenomenon of “copyright creep” and its implications for artists working in the Digital Age. We talk to Christopher Clary about Sorry to Dump On You, a personal/collective project embedded in gay online culture, and to David Claerbout about his unauthorized collaborations with Elvis Presley and others; we look at Eleanor Macnair’s Play-Doh recreations of iconic photographs; and we interview Stephanie Syjuco about her “copies, homages and perversions”. We also go in search of Ozmo and discover that even (and perhaps even especially) street artists get “bitten”, and meet Thomas Sauvin, whose remarkable (and entirely borrowed) Beijing Silvermine project is writing an alternative history of modern China. For some artists death is the end, but for others it opens a new chapter in their career. In this issue we talk to Dr Loretta Würtenberger, founder of the Institute for Artists’ Estates, about ways to keep artists’ works fresh and visible after their deaths, and we look at the remarkable posthumous career of Philippe Vandenberg. There’s also a Paper Gallery dedicated to the collaged “conversations” of Ruth van Beek, in addition to Encounters with US painter Joan Semmel, German artists Neo Rauch and Thomas Ruff, Dutch photographer Scarlett Hooft Graafland, Danish designer Henrik Vibskov, and Spanish painter Secundino Hernández.

Seit ihrer Gründung 1957 ist die form das maßgebliche Fachmagazin für Designer und gestaltungsinteressierte Leser. Bis heute sind über 250 Ausgaben des Magazins erschienen.

The Journal explores the circulation of people, goods, information, and even fauna and flora, around the world and the transformative impact they have on contemporary life. While migration is part of humanity's genesis, it seems the phenomenon has become ubiquitous, happening faster, with complex ramifications. MIGRANT aims at exploring the relationship between these elements, events, journeys and spaces bound under the idea of 'migration' in all its forms, crucial to understand today's society. In order to break from the prejudices and clichés of migrants and migration, MIGRANT asks artists, journalists, academics, designers, architects, philosophers, activists and citizens to rethink our approach to migration and critically explore the new spaces it creates.
