NEW FOOD MAGAZINE BY MCSWEENEY'S

 Lucky Peach is a new journal of food writing, published on a quarterly basis by 

McSweeney’s. It is a creation of David Chang, the chef behind the Momofuku

restaurants in New York, writer Peter Meehan, and Zero Point Zero Production—producers of the

Emmy Award–winning  Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. The aim of Lucky Peach is to create a

publication that appeals to diehard foodies as well as fans of good writing and art in general.

Okay, so there's tons of foodie mags out there. This one really delivers the goods. Imagine if Gastronomica and the old print version of BoingBoing had a love child; that's Lucky Peach.  It sucked me right in with it's A-list contributors, great art, and focused stories. If you're the kind of person who loves Andrew Zimmerman AND Anthony Bourdain on TV but still also clings to their Julia Child DVD set, you want this magazine. (THUS QUOTING THREEMOONS)

PORT magazine: combining art and rock climbing

The intelligent style magazine for men PORT has passed that magic mark in the magazine world: they have published their second issue. Editor Dan Crowe enthusiastically answered our questions.

The magazine in one sentence...
'Art, war, poetry, fashion, food, sex, science, nonsense and rock climbing: all the things we love, beautifully designed and lovingly edited.

Also: we have a sign in the office, it says: Be Normal. Everyone is trying so hard to be cool, different, cracked open with creativity and something to say. Its crazy. Just be normal!'

The article you're most proud of...
'The fashion story on Harry Gesner, an 85 year old architect. No other style magazine would have the nerve to use an 85 year old for a styled fashion shoot. I think it was quite brave of us. He does look great though.'

What fuelled you while making this issue?
'Lots, and I mean lots, of red wine. Music: everything from the theme to The Muppet Show to Chopin.'

  
What is your favorite other magazine?
'National Geographic for the photography. The New Yorker for the writing. Esquire from the late 60's for the brave covers.'

The second issue of PORT magazine is available now

Inventory: curating the beautiful

The summer/spring 2011 issue of the delicate Inventory magazine recently reached our shores. Editor-in-chief Ryan Willms kindly fed our curiosity.

The magazine in one sentence...
'A curation of ideas in product, craft and culture - was that cheating?'

The article you're most proud of...
'I think the trip to New Mexico with designer Yuki Matsuda was really special for me. The trip, the area and the people made it something I will probably never forget, and always appreciate. It was great to have Nicholas Haggard with us to photograph and document the trip in such a beautiful way too.'

In this issue you profess your love for WTAPS packaging. What's your favorite?
'The tubes for the bandanas and the sleeves for their shirts are really nicely done.'

What fuelled you while making this issue?
'I think that being in Vancouver, and with a heavy Asian influence on the culture here, sushi is always apart of our fueling here, as well as an unhealthy amount of Caffè Americanos.'

What is your favorite other magazine?
'Apartamento, the everyday life interiors magazine. The interiors are great to look at, beautiful photography, but also the people they focus on are really interesting. HUGE is probably my favorite publication from Japan - always great editorials and product photography.'

The new Inventory magazine is available now

A letter about literary magazines

Amsterdam, 17 juni 2011 Aan de leden van de Tweede Kamer, Met verbazing hebben wij kennis genomen van de aanwijzing van de Staatssecretaris voor Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap dat het Nederlands Letterenfonds de subsidiëring van literaire tijdschriften volledig dient stop te zetten (Kamerbrief ‘Meer dan kwaliteit: een nieuwe visie op cultuurbeleid’, 8-6-2011). Als schrijvers voelen wij het als onze plicht u te wijzen op de systeemfunctie van literaire tijdschriften in de ontwikkeling en bloei van de Nederlandstalige literatuur. Kennelijk louter op basis van slecht geïnformeerde mediapublicaties noemt zowel de Raad voor Cultuur als de staatssecretaris als enig argument voor stopzetting van de subsidie een vermeend ‘gering publieksbereik’.

Having grown up with Staghorn Ferns myself (hertshoorn in Dutch) and harbouring the most gruelling fantasies about my grandmothers Staghorn jumping at me in the night, was a far cry from writing about a Magazine paying ( among other great articles)  tribute to the STAGHORN FERN.

In this multi layered journal you will find photographs, cuttings, drawings  & articles that pay tribute to organic life!

Among the contributers are:

Jennilee Marigomen, Stephen Eichhorn, Lope Serrano, Antonio Luque,
