APARTAMENTO COOKBOOK #5

In this most tumultuous of years, Apartamento’s back with its trusty companion to cooking, our fifth annual cookbook that in 2020 we’ve dedicated to spices and herbs, the magic, medicinal stuff of legend, the foundation of whole civilisations, and the hot and fiery but also calm and soothing starting point for all 16 recipes in this book. Whichever you need, Cookbook #5: Herbs & Spices has you covered—this year with illustrations by US artist Zebadiah Keneally.

Marylou Faure

Specialising in character design, bold colours and graphic compositions, the French illustrator Marylou Faure aspires to create artwork that invokes joy with her cheeky and playful style.

Clear in the belief that an artist should use their skills for good, Faure’s career has seen her working on many personal and collaborative projects with global brands that focus on social or ethical causes.



This is the first monograph containing Faure's work and is printed entirely out of Pantone colours in order to capture the fun, vibrancy and joy present in her work.

Design: Jon Dowling & Céline Leterme

Minchō #19 echoes this recent fascination with cooking in an issue about food, creativity and collaboration whose aluminium container on the front-cover invites you to open it and sample a selection of works and articles that will help you to take a cultural approach to this succulent theme.

 
We have selected a front-cover image that is unusual for our magazine: the photograph of the creative invitation to an edible exhibition that the London artist and activist, Bobby Baker, organised in her house of Acme Studios in 1976, which is the perfect metaphor for the creation of something exciting out of the ordinary. And this is what food-themed art and cooking is all about.

We are becoming increasingly aware of the global warming of the planet, and, consequently, we are starting to seeing our little back garden, our time spent walking the dog in the park and our weekend breaks in the countryside as great (and somewhat nostalgic) canvases for nature.

Minchō #17 is devoted to analyzing that complex relationship from the perspective of its contemporary graphical and artistic representation, ranging from naturalist illustration to pieces carried out with the purpose of raising awareness of environmental causes, and also including landscape interventions and liquid simulations by artists working in the expanded field.

Back to nature. Or almost.

APARTAMENTO COOKBOOK #4

Welcome to the fourth annual Apartamento cookbook, this year an homage to the glorious egg, universal symbol of fertility and the circle of life. In this book we’ve compiled the favourite egg recipes (and importantly the stories behind them) of yet another 16 of the world’s best chefs, food lovers, and culinary taste makers, from Tokyo to Tunis. Enjoy!

iloMinchō #18 seeks to explore the contemporary sexual imagery as an expression of identity, taboos, freedom, fantasy and pleasures, from a diverse perspective that is not restricted to the male, white and heterosexual gaze.

This new issue is passionate, fun and rewarding as its theme, featuring Marion Fayolle’s illustrated books about relationships between men and women, Jeffrey Cheung’s fanzines brimming with racial diversity, a selection of shorts on desire all created by female filmmakers (confronted with an opinion article on the controversial animation work of Wong Ping), the comic-essays of the feminist activist Liv Strömquist, the empowered letterforms of Jade Schulz, homoerotic art by Leo Rydell Jost, and children books freed from toxic masculinity.

A suggestive selection with which you can curl up and tickle your intellect, as can be seen in the cover illustration by Santiago Sequeiros: a rosy mountain of bodies having sex, that reflects the coronal plane of the two halves of a brain occupied by the same thing back to us.
