Off The Rails - Come As You Are’ Issue 16 straight from lock down.

In Issue 16 we mix it up a little. We look into the world of 'FaceTime Photography' with Tom Mitchell and others, as we find ourselves having to work differently and therefore our content represents that. We speak to MikeFlo and many others regarding the current movement towards Black Liberty and documenting the world around us as this happens. We talk to VEMIX about recreating history, to the extent of the world believing these incredible photoshopped images that he creates are the real deal. Higher Power hit their Brooklyn show bang at the beginning of the global pandemic as they all fought Covid. Drake Alexander takes us on a journey into his world as Savannah McMillan revisits her exhibitions to help the NHS. Artist Tejumola Adenuga blows us away with his dot work while the bold colours and installations of Julia Benz brings life to us all. We welcome back the incredible David Bellemere with a new exclusive editorial with Lola Alcaluzac, as well as new work from George Holz & Mike Miller.

MacGuffin 6 – The Ball

Keep your eyes on the ball with MacGuffin Nº 6. Dedicated to the perfectly shaped object that is the dream of every visionary architect, but a source of great distress to the unsporty among us: the ball. MacGuffin kicks off with spinning ballboys, tumbling plants, rolling meatballs, bouncing planets, utopian bubbles, and the inventor of the smiley: Mr. Harvey Ball himself.

Postcards

A 144 page publication featuring some of the photographs that make our contributors happy. Created in lockdown, it is our ode to travel - and all the beauty and wonder that is out there, just waiting until the world is ready. 

"I’m convinced that to look back like this, while always in part an act of grief, is first and foremost a celebration. The past, humming with the attention we give it, repays us in kind - by reminding us of how far we’ve come. Now, and perhaps for a while yet, this will be our challenge, to take solace in memory."

- Cameron Zeyd Lange
Los Angeles, May 2020

During lockdown in London (having printed Mexico and replotted our issues dedicated to Greece and Wales) I found myself desperate to create. It wasn't about making the lockdown time count, more about finding ways to slow down, look back and seek beauty - and to offer a platform to some of the creatives who have been so generous with their time and talent over the years. And so the team and I began work on Lodestars Anthology Postcards - a 144 page photo book featuring archival work from across the world, paired with musings on life, travel and the wonders of photography.

Wohnrevue 08—20 | Heim- und Fernweh |

Vielleicht wünschen Sie sich zurzeit nichts sehnlicher, als heisse Sommertage am Meer zu verbringen – so wie es die Mailänder Designsammlerin tut, deren Ferienhaus wir diesen Monat porträtieren. Wie schön wärs doch, den Sand unter den Füssen zu spüren, das Meer rauschen zu hören – und z. B. nach Mallorca ins Guesthouse @antonia.es zu reisen. Die in Deutschland geborene Italienerin zog vor 15 Jahren in die Schweiz und verwirklichte vor knapp 2 Jahren ihren Traum vom eigenen Guesthouse auf der Baleareninsel… Verlockend, nicht? Und dennoch bleiben viele zu Hause diesen Sommer – und fragen sich vielleicht, warum sie in der Ferne oft auch Heimweh nach der Schweiz haben. Liegt es an versteckten Geheimtipps wie das Plantahaus in Malans von @ferienimbaudenkmal? Oder einfach daran, dass es zu Hause manchmal eben doch am schönsten ist?

Sidetracked – Volume 18

Volume 18 is intended to be an issue of hope. A means to resurrect the dreams we still hold close and hope will one day soon be available to us again. Through the first part of this year we have spent more time inside than out in order to survive the invisible storm sweeping around the planet. We look outwards, then turn inwards to dream.

This issue contains a unique and thought-provoking collection of stories of adventure, cultural discovery, learning and understanding. Accompanied by breathtaking photography.

144 pages, perfect bound, and printed in full colour on FSC approved uncoated 120gsm paper in the United Kingdom.

Issue 10: India

India is changing. It is an impassioned, tumultuous wonderland that embraces visitors, reveres its past, disregards the status quo and offers all who journey there an brilliant, indelible, distinctive experience.

You may wander along sacred waterways, bathe in colour, appreciate the poetry of the everyday, celebrate a southern paradise, traverse the country by train, discover enduring, ancient cultures and cities at the cutting edge, grasp the complexity of tea and tradition, calm the mind, scale peaks, experiment with spices, encounter something wild, question your boundaries, live in the moment and seek out the unexpected. This is a place of craft, civility, history, culture, grace and grandeur. You will be overcome, consumed, saturated, lost in matchless moments, and left craving more.

IMPORTANT MAGAZINE ISSUE 3: VANITY

Issue 3 of IMPORTANT MAGAZINE is exploring the theme of VANITY. As a subject it not only plays to elegance and subtlety with intellectual flair but also individual signatures and elements of surprise. This issue contains an exposé of how we all are apt to create a shell identity on the way to our true selves and the shedding of all other fake IDs. Poetry that grasps the sky and the edge of a letter, feelings that overwhelm words. How do we as humans play with masquerades, movement, comparison, identification arranged as graphic intensity and sensory investigations. Photography and scenarios travel beyond 'mere' vanity to the realm of excellence and revelation. Skin texture and adornments being points to the sublime. All this warped and wefted as images and texts, ancient and modern.

Imagicasa

Summer 2020

We are so happy that summer is finally here and we can inspire you once again with a new edition of Imagicasa magazine. The storm has subsided and has made way for sun, warmth and cheerfulness. We are going to enjoy it with a fresh Corona beer in our hands!

Over the past few months we have continued to work hard on our online platform to offer our readers a moment of relaxation during the challenging period – which we can now hopefully leave behind us – and to let them dream away at beautiful images, surprising stories and unique projects. Our Instagram page now has well over 20,000 followers, a very welcoming confirmation that the work we do is appreciated and that we can continue to do what we enjoy doing. We’ve also added a lot of exclusive decorations and furniture to our webshop, so be sure to take a look if you want to give your own interior a stylish update.

This summer issue has come with some delay, because we wanted to make sure we could offer you another amazing edition. If we can say so ourselves, we very much succeeded in this and we are therefore proud to present to you projects by OOAA Arquitectura, Fabrice Juan, Banda Property, Gori & Yoon and our compatriot Nicolas Schuybroek, among others. As usual, we also went back into design history to introduce to you some of the top designers of the 20th century (Gio Ponti, Joe Colombo, Pierre Paulin) whose iconic creations certainly don’t look out of place in today’s interiors.

Art is also a vital subject in any edition and we hope that the works of André Bogaert, Bram Demunter, Tilde Grynnerup and Pia Maria Raeder will charm you as much as they did us. To get even more into summery atmospheres, we bring you along on a visit to the unique Hotel Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez, designed by Charles Zana, we present no less than two stylish yachts and we take a look at a beautiful project in Valencia decorated by our partner ‘t Huis van Oordeghem.

Enjoy this special collection of stories and enjoy the summer!

L'Uomo – May 2020

Ever since its founding in 1967, it has earned a place as the most authoritative men’s fashion magazine in the world, a privileged partner for Italian designer brands, a scout of groundbreaking photographers, trendsetting dressers and fashion revolutions. After its 50th anniversary L’Uomo Vogue has been relaunched as a bilingual English-Italian quarterly with a new supersized format, a very modern design and four sections. L’Uomo has a ldigital presence within Vogue.it and its own social presence, and also organises a series of live events.

On the power of colour

Colour is science, psychology, and communication, but in art and design it is also about perception and choice.  Colour is fun, packed with emotion, and is personal, but it can also become dangerously political. In DAMN°76 we explore some of the most colourful myths and realities – from naked cowboys riding pink unicorns to the corrupt power of the American greenback – and get new insights into how the use of colour feeds and challenges our perceptions.  We look at the latest exhibitions and projects and talk to some of the artists and designers whose work dares us to recalibrate our thinking on the politics of colour – especially given the huge changes the digital revolution has introduced.

North Italy

ITALY AND FOOD, IT’S ROMANCE AT ITS FINEST

UNEXPECTED ITALY

Italian food pioneers enchanted us with passion, fed us hope and humility, and said, “Be here now, forget schedules, let life dictate pace.” They showed us their grounded carpe diem spirit—how to live in the moment, slow, steady. In return we pushed our appointments, extended rentals, and rested our heads on hardwood floor, fully present.

ITALIAN VARIETY WITHOUT LIMIT

Italy has found a way forward by reaching into history and pulling out techniques that are tried and true. It’s a path rooted in community and hospitality, closely tied to the land, giving back as much as it takes. A path blazed with Italian bravery. Bravery that speaks plainly, saying “We shall not be tamed by modern problems.”

INSIDE THIS ISSUE OF SALT & WONDER

You’ll explore hidden castles, gardens, and rooftop terraces. You’ll find Italy’s new wave of slow-baking, its modern artisans, its Etruscan history, and the future of food systems. You’ll meet a mad scientist who ferments everything and a woman who bakes family tradition into her bread. You’ll feel the soil with Italy’s first organic rice farmer and raise a glass to fresh drinking styles at rebel-friendly bars. Finally, you’ll discover the magic of Torino, where off-the-map authenticity will make you fall in love.

In this issue, we hear from:

• Two traveling brothers who promote local ingredients with Italian-Asian fusion at their restaurant atop an ancient seaside castle.

• Local Torinese, Lucia Iannone, on baking bread with tradition

• Italy’s first organic rice farmer, the renegade Ariane Lotti of Tenuta San Carlo

• Renaissance bartenders of Milano and Torino who are introducing Italy to international cocktail styles

• The streets, plazas, and people of Torino, in a city guide that will lead you off the beaten path and into the heart of an up-and-coming city

You will find interviews, new perspectives, a city guide, photo essays, recipes to stories, and lots of aspiring illustrations.

ACT Magazine
Issue Number 2 - July 2020

See The ACT Creative Studios present the second issue of ACT, published under the title “WARDA AL HANI” 

The title of this issue is WARDA AL HANI (Madame Rose Hani - Part Two ) which is one of Gibran Khalil Gibran’s novels where he tells the story of a young woman who is married to a rich man, but she feels imprisoned. One day she finds the light inside the darkness in a young man and decides to leave her husband to witness love and modesty with this young person. Society judged her. Her powerful ex-husband made use of his power to put her reputation to question. but she didn’t really care because she knows everyone’s story and decided to have her own. She decides to live for love.

How many Wardas have you seen? Being judged for their life choices and their decisions. How many men used their powerful voice and social positions to put the reputation of the women that they love (who didn’t share the same interest) in question. How many persons are like Gibran, take the time to actually seek the truth and decide what is the right thing to do? We chose this novel by Gibran as the title of our second issue because it best describes how society objectifies woman for their actions.

A hint of what to come in this issue; So many women sharing the same and different point of views, stories about experiences they face as women, stories about daily battles and a society that keeps on reminding them that they need to do more. Not one day do they feel any kind of freedom to just be, and when they do, they are put to question again. Stories of women. A society that objectifies women.

ACT (Art, Culture and Talent) is a visual ART magazine, with a platform for expression. A place to create, communicate and inspire. It is a journey, a trip for your mind and an escape from your daily problems. A play with all the elements; a full official ACT.
The process we went through to create this magazine is the same we go through when writing a movie: the research and the longing for expression.

ACT creates a tribe so you can belong; it can be your comfort place and escape. It presents articles that express and represent each one of the contributors in their own words.

The subjects that ACT treats in every issue, are related to so many factors from social situations and observation, to politics, economy and travel; keeping in mind that art is at the center of everything; It is an inclusive project of all forms of visual expression.

ACT is the result of long years of cinema and filmmaking studies, art direction projects and a career of fashion and styling.

Artists cannot be framed into only one category or lifestyle. Once an artist, always an artist. A real one who breathes art day and night. One who sees it in every aspect of daily life where inspiration is just everywhere, and if you are really trained and your brain is used to seeing it, you will.

It is a long project of commitment, persistence and a process of observation.
A project of an outsider trying to fit in, but fighting the process with art. After long observation and research came the necessity to create a new art magazine. Reading may have been neglected for some time, and it has become a forgotten activity we used to enjoy and practice back in the day.

So, we made sure our visual, with all its artistry and creativity, is as important as the words and articles we included. One of the very amusing activity we used to enjoy was coloring, so we added a couple of pages for you to reconnect with yourself and re-center your mind.

Sometimes literature and poems can take you to places with one key to access: your imagination. It was IMPORTANT to add this extra level of inspiration, so you can create and imagine it yourself.

Take some time off your phone screens, because nothing can be compared to the smell of books. Disconnect from your phones and re-connect with yourself and get inspired.

The lights go off, a spotlight unveils the curtains, they announce:

“Please turn off your phones and enjoy the act”

People applause, the curtains open revealing the stage covered with decorative elements.
The orchestra plays music and you are taken by the violin.

You begin to see the ACT as the characters reveal the truth behind their masks.

zweikommasieben Magazin #21

Even at issue number 21 of zweikommasieben, it remains challenging to identify a common theme among the different contributions gathered in a magazine. What is the “thing” to which we have dedicated ourselves issue after issue?

Over the years, it has become clear that the “thing” that continues to captivate us is in flux, as are its possible definitions. Various contributions to the current issue of this magazine attest to this permanent development, too. And whatever our “thing” might be called or actually might be, the following has become clearer in the recent past: the boundaries separating different artistic practices have been dissolving more and more. Also this second assertion seems to be present again in the interviews and texts present in zweikommasieben #21.

The contributions in the current issue hint a third unifying characteristic of our “thing”: in the context of the developments and the cross-disciplinary thinking, music does not figure largely anymore. More often than not, it is a starting point and stimulus for further thinking rather than anything else. This assertion might seem contradictory coming from a magazine that claims to be devoted to the documentation of contemporary music and sounds. Yet, it does not seem to be problematic for the artists appearing. It no longer seems necessary to have an answer to the question, what function music fulfils within our “thing.” Or what else it might be about. Rather, the nature of our “thing” reveals itself in the work and the talk—and, so we hope, in the act of reading.
