032c Magazine

[MulletProof]

032c is a bi-annual contemporary culture magazine at the intersections of
fashion, art and politics. Finding the new in the old and the old in the new,
032c invites leading and emerging creatives to collaborate on mono-
thematic issues. It has been considered to be "dedicated to the celebration of
ideas" by i-D, "revue ultra-pointue" by French Vogue, or simply as "the
Berlin magazine that propogates an aesthetic of brutal elegance" by
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "The magazine fuses art and architecture,
literature, urban studies and fashion in ways", states New York Times, "that
can make one forget how depressing a visit to a newsstand has become."
032c is internationally distributed to selected art bookstores, fashion
boutiques and newsstands. The magazine has been exhibited at places such
as London Design Museum, Colette (Paris), GAS (Tokyo), The Pineal Eye
(London) and the 3rd Berlin Biennial.

I've been intrigued by certain works featured in this publication and its frequent contributors for a while now but there hasn't been much exposure to it, at least on tFS.. has anyone here ever bought it?, is it sold in the US?.

The cover's isn't interesting but th eds inside are amazing
Where can I get this in Asia?

 

[penny609]

There are often some lovely contents inside and I quite like the cover. Red and black and white pictures, the concept fits for me but... well, I'm a big fan of Amica's white background
I couldn't tell where you can find it in Asia but in Paris it's quite easy, a few stores plus Colette usually have it. Outside Paris it's much harder, in France I mean

 

[mikel]

interesting

 

[flyingace]

Where can I get this in Asia?

interested in all Asia? well, there's a list of places here, there's no Singapore but there are a few asian countries.

i think their covers are great! i think the simplicity and lack of outright focus on the cover gives the magazine alot of mystery.....so it really draws you in and allows one to focus on the content which is what it's truly about and its always high-quality with 032c. funny thing is,there are alot of new german mags with this kind of approach but this one is the true original.

i also really admire their more philosophical approach....sure its got the fashion spreads but what its most known for is its writing.

mullet,have you seen anything in depth of the current issue? i saw a couple preview images but it doesn't tell one much. the most interesting bit is that they have a feature on MMMs 20th Anniversary and was really keen to see that.

Now Scoring | Steven Meisel in 032c
By Victoria Camblin

When the latest issue of the Berlin-based art and culture magazine 032c hit our desks here at T, we were ecstatic to discover that the notoriously press-shy photographer Steven Meisel had granted a rare interview request for its “Post-America” issue. Here Victoria Camblin, 032c’s assistant editor, discusses scoring a conversation with one of the most important imagemakers in fashion and why Meisel is very much still a plain old New Yorker at heart.

Steven Meisel is an epic photographer, and a profile on such an epic photographer has to be monumental, too. It has to somehow do justice to his not only massive but also massively important body of work—especially when what you are doing hasn’t really been done before, when you’re profiling someone who in the past has given so few interviews. The piece becomes historical, but how do you convey that in print? 032c’s answer to this was a 14-page fold-out section that kept the production quality high: when you hold this issue in your hands, and when you pull out this colorful, fold-out archive of two decades’ worth of Vogue Italia covers — all shot by Meisel — you experience a lush, compact moment of “Print crisis? What print crisis?” It’s a Technicolor Vogue accordion, but it also has a certain grace, which is very much in line with 032c’s changing from what T Magazine itself once called the “new ugly” and channeling that into our own kind of energetic classicism.

There is a “Wizard of Oz” element to the Meisel interview to me; it creates this image of Meisel as a generous but still very elusive power. A photographer you have to call icons like Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista to get an impression of — or even a photographer whom icons like Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista will enthusiastically give their time to talk about. Still, when I asked Alex de Looz, 032c’s New York contributing editor, about his conversation with Meisel, he told me that as elusive as he might be, there is very much the sense that the glamorous world Meisel portrays and admires and indeed shapes is one through which New Yorkers walk every day. “I know the street where he saw Loulou de la Falaise, and I know the place he went to art school,” Alex pointed out. “Speaking to him was like talking to a fellow New Yorker: down to earth, to the point and friendly, no fuss.” The models, perhaps not so much: “They sounded like bubble gum and diamonds all rolled together, and I think it was because they love Steven so dearly. They radiated total devotion and not one ounce less.”

For more information, go to 032c.com. Issue 16, featuring the interview with Steven Meisel, is on newsstands now.
