Revue Faire, no. 39, 40, 41

Faire is a bi-monthly publication dedicated to graphic design. Produced by Empire, the publishing arm of French design studio Syndicat (designers Sacha Léopold and François Havegeer), Faire is aimed at students as well as researchers and professional designers. Each issue addresses a specific object or theme and is written by a renowned author.

This anthology set, volume 11, includes three issues, numbers 39 through 41:

n°39 — A series of cards and performances: My Calling (Card) #1 #2 #3 by Adrian Piper. By Jérôme Dupeyrat

My Calling (Card) #1 #2 #3 (1986-1990; 2012), by Adrian Piper (born in 1948), is a series of prints in the form of calling cards and performances designed by the artist as a tool to confront her counterparts with their sexist and racist actions within different relational and social contexts: a dinner, a party, a bar…

Similar to other conceptual, performative, relational and textual art works by Adrian Piper that expose dissent and even conflict in order to move past them, the “calling cards” are part of the Piper’s approach to identity. Her works confront the responsibility of those who, in the face of this identity, consciously or unconsciously reproduce the mechanisms of discrimination and oppression.

n°40 — A Collaboration : Les Urbaines & Eurostandard. By Manon Bruet

Since opening in 1996, the interdisciplinary festival in Lausanne, Les Urbaines, has collaborated with numerous Swiss graphic designers. Following Guillaume Chuard and Renato Zülli (2011), Maximage (2012–2015), and Daniel Hättenschwiller and Thomas Petit (2016) among others, Eurostandard took charge of the visual identity of the three editions from 2017 to 2019.

To constitute this triptych, which had been imagined as a whole, for each event the studio proposed to explore a new technique originally intended to produce deformed selfies. On one hand the use of this procedure allowed them to question modes of self-representation and thus produce a discourse profoundly rooted in its time. On the other, it allowed them to generate unique visuals and to inscribe absolutely their identity in three steps, each one following on from the previous one.

This issue provides the opportunity to look back, through the words of the graphic designers as well as their client, at these three years of collaboration, and more broadly, at the festival’s different visual identities which, when taken together, seem to describe a certain landscape of Swiss graphic design.

n°41 — The Image of Fashion: Forget (fashion) photography? By Aude Fellay

Fashion photography has to fight for our attention. Memes, selfies, stories, reels: the competition is fierce—and happening at a time when it seems increasingly difficult to speak of photography at all. Should we grapple with photography anew from the perspective of its afterlife, as some have argued in the field of photographic theory? What would it mean to “forget” fashion photography? By drawing on recent debates about the condition of photography, this essay examines images of fashion and a number of contemporary phenomena that speak to the need to think of the fashion image anew.

You’ll meet inspiring people for whom the well-being of others is paramount, featuring Walt Odets on the power of therapy, Chani Nicholas and Sonya Passi on financial well-being, Julia Bainbridge on sobriety, and Alice Sheppard on dance as a way to commune with the body—even when it hurts. Plus: interviews with fashion icon Farida Khelfa, tattoo artist Dr. Woo, superstar stylist Veneda Carter, and much more.

Sociotype Journal Issue #1, The Gesture

Sociotype Journal is a new platform for thoughts on culture and society, that also happens to be a type specimen, from London-based digital type foundry, Sociotype, and design studio, Socio. Issue #1 is typeset in Sociotype’s serif super family, Gestura. Appropriately enough, the theme of the volume is “The Gesture.”

When words fail, our hands do the talking. Join us as we investigate raised fists, flicked Vs and power grips, VR mitts and cable knits with NASA, secret signs of the illuminati, street gangs and flight attendants, sign language poetry, greasy fingers, strap hangers, and discover the meaning of the word “thist.”

Issue #1 features ten essays, seven image-led articles, and a twenty-eight page technical type specimen. Contributors include Emily Watkins, Sammy Gale, Siham Ali, Nic Carter, Alicia Mundy, Meggan Gould, Hannah La Follette Ryan, Brendan Smith, and Hatty Staniforth.

Edited by Nic Carter and Henrietta Thompson

Creative direction by Nic Carter and Nigel Bates

032c Issue #41 – Summer 2022

“But Is it Art? But Is it Legal? But Is it Legit?”

“Jesus” shoes filled with Holy Water. “Satan” ones filled with blood. An unauthorized Hermès / Birkenstock hybrid. Backed by venture capital and buffered by in-house legal counsel, MSCHF will lift your logo and sell it as their own—if you’re lucky. The 032c Issue #41 dossier is an insider’s guide to the New York collective conjuring mystique (and money) with trickster magic. Elsewhere, NAN GOLDIN and DURGA CHEW-BOSE trace the limitless lines of JULIE MEHRETU, whose fellow painter JULIAN SCHNABEL lets SVEN MICHAELSEN into his (mostly outdoor) inner sanctum. THOMAS JEPPE uncovers the Ballardian base layers of painter SERGIO SARRI, caught in Paris by PIERRE-ANGE CARLOTTI, and MAHFUZ SULTAN travels the vaporous world of DILLER SCOFIDIO + RENFRO, the architectural powerhouse blurring the boundaries and buildings of cultural space. MAX DAX assembles an oral history of HARD WAX, the Kreuzberg record store making Berlin the European epicenter of techno since 1989. Across the Atlantic, DALLAS is an unlikely blueprint for urban futures, distilled in 41 points by ZAC CRAIN. LOURDES “LOLA” LEON is fire and ice for ANGELO DOMINIC SESTO. RAS BARTRAM makes his 032c fashion director debut with four editorials, outfitting MONA TOUGAARD under big skies for JACKIE NICKERSON, tying knots with KRISTINA NAGEL, playing house with GOI MANASE for SZILVESTER MAKÓ, and channeling the northern lights with FREDERRIKE SOFIE for CASPER SEJERSEN.

PLUS: curator Agnes Gryczkowska, YouTube streamers HÖR, racecar driver Laura-Marie Geissler, honorary Texan Carolina Alvarez-Mathies, and NOLA Mardi Gras chief Bo Dollis Jr. gather in SOCIÉTÉ de 032c; the X-FILES introduces the cyborgs, shamans, mystics, and magicians of the expanded 032c.com universe; and, as always, we outro the issue with the BERLIN REVIEW, surveying our favorite reads of the literary season.

Cura 38, The Generational Issue

12 May 2022 in Magazines Comment

Cura. Issue 38: The Generational Issue

CURA. Issue 38: The Generational Issue

CURA. 38 “The Generational Issue” is the magazine’s first survey about artists’ portraits that aims to investigate some of the most meaningful protagonists of the new generation who, stressing the urgencies of current times, are shaping the landscape of the present and the future in contemporary art.

As Whitney Mallett and Robert McKenzie state in a conversation on the topic: “Artists tease out conflicts, subvert historical connotations, promote non-linear intimacies, question binary conceptions, facilitate cosmic healing, highlight the opaque nature of power, investigate the potentiality of new technologies, and abandon the vertical thought system of reason.”

Featuring over 40 new texts and conversations, mixed with an archive of reprinted essays, CURA.38 is conceived under the art direction of Dan Solbach and presents seven brand new covers featuring artists’ photographic portraits commissioned for the occasion. Beyond any controversial categorization related to generational statements, “The Generational Issue” of CURA. is conceived as an exploration of the new now and—intended to recur biennially—presents itself as an essential and fundamental research item.
