fotograf #19: Film – Magazine of photography and visual culture.

“The theme for fotograf magazine’s 19th issue is the relationship between photography and film. We logically arrived at this choice after gradually addressing topics such as photography and painting, performance, architecture etc. It is logical that photography, which during its history has reflected diverse cultural relationships, has to explore a discipline that directly relates to it, even technologically. It is no accident that many world languages use the same word for camera and movie camera. Not only do both use the same imaging optics, but they also use the same recording medium; earlier film tape, and now increasingly digital chips…” Pavel Baňka, Editorial

South Magazine #1 . Summer 2012,

SOUTH magazine a new collaboration / co- publication of LifO and Kunsthalle Athena

SOUTH is an arts and culture magazine published in Athens and distributed internationally. Possessed by a spirit of absurd authority, we will try to contaminate the prevailing culture with ideas that derive from southern mythologies such as the “perfect climate”, “easy living”, “chaos”, “corruption”, and the “dramatic temperament”, among others. Through our twisted – and “southern” – attitude…, expressed through critical essays, artist projects, interviews and features, we would like to give form to the concept of the South as a “state of mind” rather than a set of fixed places on the map. People from different – literal or metaphorical – ‘Souths’ will renegotiate the southern attitude, partly to define it and partly to invent it, within the post-crisis world. Opening up an unexpected dialogue among neighbourhoods, cities, regions and approaches, SOUTH will be both a magazine and a meeting point for shared intensities.

Creative Director: Yannis Karlopoulos

MAY #9

Conceived as a collective space in which to develop thoughts and confront positions on artistic production, May magazine examines, quaterly, contemporary art practice and theory in direct engagement with the issues, contexts and strategies that construct these two fields. An approach that could be summed up as critique at work – or as critique actively performed in text and art forms alike.

Featuring essays, interviews, art works and reviews by artists, writers and diverse practitioners of the arts, the magazine also intends to address the economy of the production of knowledge – the starting point of this reflection being the space of indistinction between information and advertisment typical of our time. This implies a dialogue with forms of critique produced in other fields.

IN THIS ISSUE:

Arab Uprisings and Impersonal Images / From Montage to Détournement in the Situationist International / The Incredible Chronicle of OWS / Alex Bag and Patterson Beckwith / Pacific Standard Time, Art, Art in Los Angeles, 1950-1980 / Judith Hopf / Isa Genzken / David Douard / Kenneth Goldsmith…

HORST #02

Being gay today – between acceptance and anti-homosexual legislation. We take a look at one social taboo, homosexuality in old age, and one sexual one: genital modification. We say goodbye to a relic of gay culture from the last generation: the porn cinema. We also met up with fashion legend and well-known Horst fan Jean Paul Gaultier, plus cult fashion designer John Varvatos. Sound designer Michel Gaubert creates the modern man’s playlist exclusively for HORST. Plus: guys in corsets, a Burger Girl, digital media for the gay community and …… penises!
