Issue #35 — Winter 2018/19: “A Museum for James Baldwin”

In 032c Issue 35, we publish a 25-page dossier that celebrates the material world of American writer JAMES BALDWIN (1924-1987), an exile and a prophet whose commitment to love, justice, and fearlessness serves as a guide to our discordant present. Cover star KIKO MIZUHARA embraces transhumanist pleasures on the streets of Tokyo. PETRA COLLINSphotographs newly canonized rap pope GUCCI MANE at an altar of art and flowers in Miami. Meanwhile in London, makeup artist ISAMAYA FFRENCH is the oracle of un-wellness, peeling back the mask on a 387-billion euro industry. French sociologists LUC BOLTANSKI and ARNAUD ESQUERRE unveil a new economy of enrichment, fueled by our obsession with sneakers, art, and luxury real estate, and new work by artist SETH PRICE zooms in on consumer culture, merchandise, and textile production. HANS ULRICH OBRIST and VIRGIL ABLOH ask superstar painter MARLENE DUMAS how she says “yes” – and art book publishing magnate BENEDIKT TASCHEN gets lucky saying “yes” to everything in art. We look through the keyhole to FRANCIS BACON’s past life as a modernist interior designer, and Chengdu photographer and propagandist FENG LI takes photos in Shanghai. We portray TOLIA TITAEV, co-founder of PACCBET and Moscow’s OCTYABR skate shop, and ADRIANO SACK pulls at the threads of streetwear to show us the deep-running influence of the acid-tinged fashions of 1990s CLUBWEAR. Finally, we review our favorite books of the season, and get to the root of all things with PEGGY GOU, WIZ KHALIFA, EDOUARD LOUIS, HARLEY WEIR, DIS, EUGENE WHANG, WILL WELCH and YOON AHN.

Schön! 35

Schön! 35
Rosalía by Vince Aung

The global paradigms are constantly changing but, if there’s one thing that remains constant, it’s hard work. For our 35th issue, we focus on those whose work shapes our society in fashion and entertainment. The perfect example is our cover star Rosalía, photographed in Los Angeles by Vince Aung. Ahead of the release of her highly awaited sophomore album, we catch up with the Spanish trailblazer to talk about putting in the work and overcoming challenges.

Still in the music realm, we meet fellow Spaniard Álvaro Soler and electronic duo Sofi Tucker; whilst Beth Ditto discusses feminism and Australian sensation Cody Simpson addresses climate change. Going from the classics to the breakthroughs, we catch up with the passionate Donna Missal, the heartfelt Jessie Reyez and the unstoppable Jacob Sartorius.

In film and TV, we talk Hollywood starts and blockbusters with Maika Monroe, Scott Haze and Robert Sheehan. We also chat to iconic German actress Iris Berben and Steven Yeun tells us about life (and work) after The Walking Dead.

In the fashion realm, we highlight the designers at the forefront of change, including Marni’s Francesco Risso and G-Star RAW’s Adriana Galijasevic. Straight from the catwalks, we delve into the season with workwear as our conductive thread, showcasing a resurgence of innovation, creation and excitement.

Issue 35, and the mavens that have been part of it, signal a new chapter for Schön! as we turn green, moving distribution exclusively to Amazon (every little helps).

Martin Eder’s paintings are dominated by a shifting palette of vivid colour and hyperreal depictions of contrasting textures. His subjects, which range from oversized pets to nude men and women, question received ideas of value, taste, and ‘high’ and ‘low’ art. Published to accompany the largest solo exhibition to date for the German artist, held at Newport Street Gallery, London (September 2018 – January 2019), this hardback presents a selection of Eder’s work from the past fourteen years, with installation shots. Also included is text by Jane Neal and curator Hugh Allan, and a conversation between Eder and author Thomas Girst.
