  • FRANK OCEAN: The Artist is Absent

    Last month Frank Ocean's album Blonde was certified platinum, breaking one million units sold in an age when nobody seems to be paying for music. But the psychedelic future soul of Frank Ocean has always been about meaning, not numbers. For our Winter 2017/18 issue, music journalist Alex Needham got to the heart of Blonde in "The Artist is Absent," a feature accompanied by a photo editorial shot by Petra Collins and styled by Mel Ottenberg. "Once you let it in," Needham writes, "Ocean's thoughts and emotions are transmitted to you on such an intimate level, they seem to suffuse your central nervous system."More

  • Beatriz Colomina on “Portable Utopias” at Eurozine:

    “Struggle in the street was combined with otherworldly utopias in the low budget, small circulation architectural magazines of the 1960s and 1970s.

  • Half a Century of Civilian Sketches from the UK’s UFO Desk

    One Sunday in 1952, Lieutenant John Kilburn of the Royal Air Force noticed an unidentifiable silver object, “swinging in a pendular motion . . . similar to a falling sycamore leaf.” The sighting prompted the opening of the UK's Unidentified Flying Object department within the Ministry of Defence, a desk which collected sketches and reports from members of the public, collected here in a hysterical architecture of the British collective unconscious.More

  • Surprisingly slick art direction from the chaotic world of hardcore punk

    Deliberate art direction may seem out of scope for a scene known for crude songwriting and in-your-face lyrics, but the most impactful bands of the hardcore spectrum have often been those who opt for a considered design direction to accompany their impulsive music. And in a world that rewards a “no fucks given” attitude, a punk band having a glossy art direction is pretty damn punk.More
