A MARTINE ROSE SLIP: Jordan/Martin Hell
Maybe we should all indulge in lying as a way of subverting the gloomy reality we live in. JORDAN/MARTIN HELL deals with all kinds of lies, particularly those that have the potentiality to constitute the bedrock for his artworks. CLAIRE KORON ELAT was in conversation with Hell about inscrutable press releases, fake-academic papers, and runway models.
The Book of Gucci According to Alessandro Michele
The Italian’s arrival as Gucci’s creative director was more like an alien invasion than a typical fashion coronation. It was fast. Overwhelming. Utterly strange and world-dominating. Michael Ebert and Sven Michaelsen visited Michele in Rome to discuss the burden of vanity, the terror of symmetry, and the faith of being devoted to objects.

RAF SIMONS RETROSPECTIVE: 1995–2015
20 years after its inception in 1995, the Raf Simons label had become an oracle for a pre-Internet notion of beauty and freedom. It’s a brand rooted in the site specificity of IRL subculture, the iconoclasm of 20th century design, and the melodramatic land-scape of suburban isolation. Yet, after 40 collections and counting, the man behind RAF SIMONS remains an enigma. Published for the first time online, 032c’s dossier on Simons from our instantly sold out 27th issue includes an essay and interview, an archival shoot by Willy Vanderperre, and a poem by Peter De Potter.

BRANDING BHUTAN
High atop the Himalayas sits the Kingdom of Bhutan. Nestled between two nuclear superpowers, the small mountain nation remains fiercely independent despite its towering neighbors. As Bhutan re-opened its borders to travelers, the country turned to London’s MMBP & Associates for a new identity to reassert itself on the global stage – and within its own borders. VICTORIA CAMBLIN climbed to basecamp to ask MMBP founders JULIEN BEAUPRÉ STE MARIE and HANK PARK how luxury industry strategy can inform the rebrand of an entire country.

CULTIVATED ASPHYXIA: “Exposition N°120 (maybe)” at Balice Hertling
“Exposition N°120 (maybe)” is BALICE HERTLING’s perhaps 120th exhibition. Including MAX ERNST, KAYODE OJO, REENA SPAULINGS, and ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE, among others, the exhibition is a survey of the gallery’s 15-year long program. On this occasion, CLAIRE KORON ELAT questions, in a Bourdieu-esque manner, if taste is innate or aquired, and if some of us desire Kelly bags (sometimes filled with escargots) because of their impeccability or because they are equivalent to buying and owning seven scooters.

CLOTHING OF CALAMITY: The Secondhand Trade in Uganda
Who gets to decide when poor-quality secondhand clothing floods local markets in Uganda and other East African countries? While colonial powers were in decision-making positions for centuries, Ugandan brands, such as Buzigahill, Gwavah, or Catherine & Sons, reinterpret the synthetical waste of the West — a product of its capitalist over-consumption — in their designs. DECLAN GIBBON argues how designers in Uganda are renouncing the calamitous destiny of forgotten garments.

Michael Heizer: DESERT CITY
"Thousands of years from now, when some cataclysm splits Nevada down to the dust we walk on today and an alien race – mute, telepathic, formless – comes across City, cracked and eroded, its fragments serried across the landscape like boundary stones, will it tell them anything about this time that resembles what we call art?" Michael Heizer’s "City" is finally open to the public. It has been six decades since the project's inception — a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of years land artwork of such scale aspires to remain on our earth. Mahfouz Sultan wrote on Heizer for us in 2021, and now the public can now take their first steps among this sprawling megasculpture hidden in the remote Nevada desert, by appointment of course.

Les Démons de Midi: Luca Guadagnino and Carlo Antonelli Are Friends, Talking
Filmmaker Luca Guadagnino has taken on interior design, a long-time dream pursued (mostly) quietly over the last few years in the homes of his friends and in his own. Guadagnino officially came out of the shadows during Milano Design Week last month with a solo exhibition for Fuorisalone – at least, his work did. The "I Am Love" director was shooting in Boston at the time, but while he may have avoided the design crowds, he couldn't escape the gaze of an old friend. Carlo Antonelli interrogates Guadagnino about all things "interior."

Introduced by Dante, popularized by Fellini, and explored this summer by Loro Piana, "la dolce vita" is a notion rooted deeply in the literature, film, and fashion of Italy.
