Manifesta Journal #12

Manifesta Journal is an international journal focusing on the practices and theories of contemporary curatorship. Manifesta Journal explores and analyzes current developments in curatorial work, in correspondence with the evolution of the Manifesta Biennial over the course of the past decade. The main aim of the journal is to give a stronger voice to an up-and-coming group of (non-) institutional curators, intellectuals, theorists and critics, and to function as a platform for the articulation and discussion of their positions within a pan-European and transcontinental context.
Justified by what is now the “stable” status of the curator, by the diversity within the broader community of professional curators and by the network of curatorial schools, programs and courses in Europe and beyond, Manifesta Journal intends to continue stimulating the establishment of curatorial self-reflection and investigation.

1TO·1·TO·1 is a documentary series in print exploring reproduction and the rationale behind  the works of artists and designers, 1:1:1 is a series of small publications in which printing matter converges with the subject matter, the image with the text, the reproduction with the original and ‘the designer’ with ‘the client’. Each issue will be inspired by the works of a specially selected artist, designer or musician which will dictate the number of issues in this series. The subject of conversation is the basis for investigating graphic design and printing as a form of expression. 1:1:1 is an initiative of Niessen & de Vries.

Dapper Dan #4. Men’s Fashion & Philosophy. Autumn/Winter 2011.

Dapper Dan Issue 04. Edited by Nicholas Georgiou, Vassilis Karidis.

Dapper Dan is a men’s magazine that is interested in inspiration, not novelty; in looking one’s own terms rather than being spoon-fed trends. It is created in Athens, Greece, by an international team and published twice a year, spanning fashion, culture and philosophy through striking photography and thoughtful texts. Eschewing the clichéd rules of men’s magazines, it follows a spirit, not a format. Dapper Dan is for the man who doesn’t feel he should have to be like everybody else.
