A Mens Magazine that MATTER (S)

2012-01-28T14:33:00.002+01:00

Kilimanjaro's creator Odukoya has his own creative agency called OMO and has just launched a new bi-annual men's magazine called MATTER that takes technology, style and conceptual art as its stance.

"I'm really excited about Matter, mostly about the content and what it could be," says Odukoya of his new title, the first issue of which has just been printed. "A lot of men's magazines are overly sartorial and I don't think that's really what the contemporary man is supposed to be about," he continues, explaining that Matter is interested in technology but not in a way that is concerned with divulging the latest updates from Apple about forthcoming hardware, but rather in a way that is fascinated with how technology and humanity collide.
"Matter's USP is that it is the first art and style publication to examine these subjects through the lens of modern technology," says Odukoya.

And so it is that the first issue of Matter contains an interview with musician Tricky, who Odukoya managed to track down using the internet, email and no small amount of perseverence; an interview with Daniel Eatock about his DIY website tool, Indexhibit; a feature on Professor Gerd Hirzinger's work with soft robotics; and an email discussion between Shaun Belcher and Matthew Collings about Collings' recent experimentation with image analysis online using Facebook photo albums.

"There's something geeky about these things," admits Odukoya, " but I'm interested in the experiences, the freedoms that technology today gives us," he says. "Technology allows us to do so much and we're looking to edit those experiences and present them as a beautifully curated package, a library of optimism."

From a design point of view, Matter is interesting in that there is no formal grid system at work. Rather Odukoya and Matter's designer Joseph Pochodzaj have selected a single serif text typeface that is used throughout the magazine in various weights and italics. The idea is simple, each story dictates its own layout. A number of different papers feature too, sometimes changing halfway through an article from uncoated to gloss or vice versa.
Here are a number of spreads:

The website for Matter currently shows a film of someone flipping through the magazine, spread by spread. "We didn't know how to approach the design of the website," admits Odukoya, "so we just had the video of someone flicking through the first issue. But actually people seem to really like it. The site has already attracted more people than all the ones that have taken a year to do. I find this really interesting. I'm excited constantly by how the internet can surprise you and make you see things or experience things in a different way."

The Fassbender Face

2012-01-23T14:51:00.000+01:00

Michael Fassbender is the actor that made Hunger and Fish Tank great movies. His new movie Shame, in which he plays a sex addict, is premiered next week on the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Mr Fassbender has a nice face and many editors agree, he's on a million covers this month. From Belgium newspaper De Morgen to L'Uomo, they all want him.
Our favourite movie magazine Little White Lies from London has its own idiosyncratic approach to The Fassbender Face. Ripping up porn and then piecing it together to form Michael's face, they have made another great cover. In this issue there's of course an article on Shame and an interview with the face.Also a lot of movies are reviewed, including Young Adult and Man on a Ledge.
We have a pile of Little White Lies in the shop. Come pick up this cutie.

In the issue you find an extended article on New Order's recent reformation and it's many break-ups in the past.Ed Simmons from the Chemical Brothers calls New Order's work "some of the best and most emotional music ever made, whether you're a sensitive student or a football-hooligan".

On the CD S.C.U.M transform "586" into a rave and Destroyer's version of "Leave Me Alone" is not to be missed if this is one of your favourite records too. The most amazing track on the compilation comes from Lonelady covering the infamous 1981 b-side "Cries & Whispers".

Break-up

Or hash it out with hang-ups, callbacks, all caps
emails. Post the extra keys and turn the paintings
to the walls. Burn the evidence. Divide albums,
books, sift through the wreckage. Mine, yours,
mine, mine, mine. Assess the damage.
Find a home for the dog. Unknot the bed
sheets and dig deep in the closet. Separate
the silverware, the knives from the knives.
Shrink back as you walk by. Keep to
the doorways. Finger the ring your
coffee cup left on the dining table,
the spoon you licked titled at a guilty angle.
White daisies wilted in a square glass jar.
Things, all things, only mean when
we see. It's for the best. Change your
address. Change your name. Store what
you can't carry. Chuck the rest.

A Magazine #11 Curated by Kate and Laura Mulleavy

2011-12-17T15:43:00.000+01:00

‘A MAGAZINE curated by Rodarte’ explores the world of Kate and Laura Mulleavy across 200 pages of photography, art, interviews, and personal contributions. In an ode to the West Coast and the Mulleavy’s singular vision of America, A#11 weaves a vibrant tapestry of natural and built environments, featuring inspiring landscapes and the characters that inhabit those worlds. Highlights include two exclusively commissioned portfolios, featuring Kirsten Dunst in the Rodarte Fall Winter 2011 collection photographed by David Armstrong, and Elle Fanning in the Rodarte ten-piece Spring Summer 2012 Couture collection photographed by Bill Owens.

"As part of our guest curation of A Magazine, we asked Bill Owens and Elle Fanning to collaborate on a special series of photographs involving our SS2012 Couture Collection as seen through memories of our childhood growing up in Santa Cruz, California. It is the first editorial of the collection which was shown in Florence this past June and is now a part of the LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art's permanent collection. It was an honor to work with Bill Owens, whose work we admire greatly."

"032c is a contemporary culture magazine that fiercely believes in the intelligence of its readers, and rises to the challenge of surprising them. Published twice a year, it is both timely and timeless—a celebration of and for the most cutting-edge in art, culture, and fashion.

Issue #22 — Winter 2011/2012 The Chermayeff Century

Introducing THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS of architecture and design: “Serge often roused himself from a serious conversation with, ‘Chris, let’s go get a sandwich.’ This was in fact a rallying cry for martinis,” recalls CHRISTOPHER ALEXANDER of his mentor SERGE CHERMAYEFF, the charismatic Russian tango-champion-turned-design-legend who began the creative dynasty featured in this issue’s 32-page cover dossier. Meet IVAN CHERMAYEFF, the original Mad Man, PETER CHERMAYEFF, aquatic architect, and Berlin’s newest spark plug, SAM CHERMAYEFF, with essays, interviews and memories by CARSON CHAN, THOMAS DEMAND, MICHAEL ROCK, and HANS ULRICH OBRIST. Elsewhere JUERGEN TELLER and IRINA KULIKOVA maraud in SYLVIE AUBREY’s masks; CORNELIUS TITTEL resurrects the sex and successes of JIRI GEORG DOKOUPIL; New York’s preeminent avant-garde skate shop still reigns SUPREME (while remaining a mysterious church of cool); the 20th century’s best-dressed journalist, Hamburg media myth FRITZ J. RADDATZ gets canonized; CALVIN KLEIN… needs no superlatives, thanks especially to Men’s Creative Director ITALO ZUCCHELLI; man about town CLEMENS WEISSHAAR makes seven pronouncements on design, simulation and competition; ANA and DANKO STEINER pack some heat; 032c’s latest SELECT presents the best of this season’s books, products, and ideas; a special front section finally tells readers WHAT WE BELIEVE, and so much more on 260 pages….

Monocle puts Hilversum under the microscope

2011-09-29T19:21:00.001+02:00

Monocle is always a gratifying reading experience, but for Dutch people this is especially so this month with a 6-page article about media-town Hilversum, sometimes jokingly called ‘Hillywood’. The article itself doesn’t lend itself to be summarized, but we can divulge already the five suggestions Monocle gives the Dutch town so it can survive in a changing media landscape.

Simplify the system

Monocle praises the legislation decision to shrink Dutch public broadcasters from 24 to 8.

Export expertise

To build its brand Hilversum needs to export its second to none skills, to for example the BBC.

After-hour amenities

The media park only has one coffee shop. Open businesses and bars to create 24-hour charm, says Monocle.

Love your neighbor

Hilversum can’t compete with Amsterdam, so it needs to become the perfect complement. Transportation between the two cities needs to be improved.

Bring the past into the present

Instead of investing in new anonymous builds, Hilversum needs to turn its monuments into thriving creative hubs.

"The new, 14th issue of FANTASTIC MAN features the phenomenal fashion designer Mr. RAF SIMONS on the cover. Photographed at his home in Antwerp, RAF is seen wearing select pieces by RAF SIMONS and JIL SANDER – both brands he designs for. Other interesting men profiled in this issue include: the fabulous magician Mr. DAVID COPPERFIELD, the interior-decorator extraordinaire Mr. RICKY CLIFTON and the hailed London-based chef Mr. YOTAM OTTOLENGHI. Furthermore, FANTASTIC MAN explores new grounds in CHINA through a 37-page fashion reportage inspired by the stylistic characteristics of the men of Beijing. The remainder of the 268-page issue is full of absorbing stories, photographs of some gloriously useless PAPERWEIGHTS, style investigations, tips and tricks for the upcoming Autumn and Winter seasons, and a delightful new format in which we have conducted insightful conversations with three gentlemen of note: KIM JONES, DIRK SCHÖNBERGER and JOHNNY MARR, the famed guitarist of THE SMITHS.
