The issue features our poetry editor Kayo Chingonyi's interview with acclaimed poet Claudia Rankine, exploring race in America, literary form, and the relationship between poetry and national emergency.

THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW (by Owen Hatherley): This wonderful book documents the architectural results of another Soviet anniversary – the celebrations of the centenary of Lenin’s birth in Ulyanovsk, formerly Simbirsk, the small city on the Volga where he was born. Told by the authorities in Moscow that the ‘door would be open’ for them to modernise their mainly wooden, one-storey, Tsarist city for the duration of the celebrations, and that they’d close it immediately when it was over, the local Party rushed to build a Museum, a Library, a Palace of Culture, housing, an Airport and the high-rise Hotel Venets before the tap of money and resources was turned off. In its first year of opening, two Poles, 70 Britons, and more than 3,000 East Germans arrived to stay in the Hotel Venets, and we get to read the inventory of difficult questions they answered (‘can we see how people live in those little wooden houses?’), and find out how hotel staff took it out on the guests.

Combining Polaroid photography and texts in English and Arabic, this book presents creative practices of design that occur on the sidewalk along with the unplanned interventions in the public space that give Cairo its distinctive character. Organized i …

Die gute Nachricht ist: Scheitern ist relativ. Die schlechte Nachricht: „Scheitern ist [trotzdem] scheiße“, wie unser Autor Mads Pankow treffend feststellt. In form 276 haben wir uns dem Scheitern im Design, am Markt sowie im Digitalen angenommen und Nils Holger Moormann gefragt, wie er zu diesem allseits bekannten, wenn auch ungern thematisierten Vorgang steht.

True issue 5 takes us on a tour of continents: from Africa to Europe and across to North America. On the way we’re introduced to individuals, families, their communities and homes. The issue’s diverse group of contributors capture this theme of ‘people and place’ through a variety of lenses: Lea Colombo’s vivid ‘Seven Chakras of South Africa’ shows the people she met during a road trip along the Eastern Cape of her home country in 2016. Pieter Hugo presents an intimate series of family portraits from his archive, entitled ‘Family’. The images, taken in Africa and Europe over the course of a decade, provide glimpses into different family environments that at points feel familiar and at others entirely unknown. Elsewhere Gregory Halpern’s story, ‘Revisiting Omaha’, introduces the communities he met during a residency at the city’s Bemis Center in 2005. Gregory recalls this as an important and foundational period in the development of his photographic style and approach. The universal theme continues in Nick Haymes’ ongoing documentary of Bailey and her circle of friends at the Savage Ranch artistic community in Temecula, California. And in Sam Rock’s photographic essay created during the 2017 French Tennis Open, where he captures the congregation of spectators that share his love of the sport. Elsewhere in the issue are stories created in collaboration: Bibi Cornejo Borthwick and her father Mark Borthwick stage a fashion show on the streets of Brooklyn. While Benedict Brink’s experimental project with set designer Mila Taylor Young and model Yasmine Moon explores form and femininity. Chris Rhodes curates a selection of accidental images, out of focus subjects and frames shot solely to finish rolls of film. And artists Theo Simpson and David Noonan individually present exclusive mixed-media stories that challenge the format of a photo essay. 33 × 24.5 cm, Softcover, 2018,
