“I live a hope despite my knowing better.”
In the Winter Issue of 032c we publish a 26-page dossier dedicated to the American writer JAMES BALDWIN (1924-1987), and ask the question, why is there no museum honoring his legacy? An exile in Europe and a mournful prophet whose writings on race, class, and human suffering are more relevant than ever, Baldwin is also the subject of a new group show at David Zwirner in New York, curated by Hilton Als. Our issue assembles the images and objects that might occupy a museum worthy of his words, and his life. BUY or SUBSCRIBE to find out more.

ISAMAYA FFRENCH’S JUNGIAN SYMBOLISM 💀🍄🐀🦋:
“I’m doing this project with this guy who makes grills. Teeth, for example, are so symbolic. You dream about them falling out. And they’re the last thing that dissolves after you die and you’re a skeleton. For pregnant women, all the calcium goes to the baby, apart from [what goes to] the teeth. These are all just really loaded symbols, so layering this thinking will produce a really interesting effect subconsciously . . . But I say this, and then I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I’m literally doing an eyeliner.’”

“As always with the few things I have done for public spaces, I question my motives. I think, ‘It’s vanity!’ Then I think, ‘All the men do it: Richter did it, Polke did it, then I should be able to do it.'”

The Art of “Blanding,” or, Why So Many Brands on Instagram Look The Same: “If you are a living, breathing, social media-using human being, you’ve probably seen these products pop up in your Instagram feed. They’re a marketing paradox: a simultaneous undersell and oversell. They offer minimal products with a minimal logos that somehow still speak clearly about their superiority . . . Here’s the twist. Each of these brands, from Casper to Birchbox, was designed by the same company–the New York-based studio Red Antler.” READ MORE @ Fast Company 📲📲📲
