For its 5th issue, Collection revue has changed its subtitle from the previous “A magazine around contemporary drawing” to a more simple “9 conversations”. The issue is still a direct extension of the previous ones: engaging in conversations with artists who would not have the occasion to be reunited elsewhere than on these pages. Alongside the artists, the issue features graphic designers bridging the realms of technology and emotion, materialist publishers and a group of skaters turned gallerists.

Featuring: Ernest T. / Taroop & Glabel, Galerie 126, Yannick Val Gesto, Sarah Tritz, Stefanie Lienzos, Masanao Hirayama, Maximale, Éditions Matière, Aidan Koch.

PARTY_ErikSteinbrecher_Argobooks_motto_6PARTY_ErikSteinbrecher_Argobooks_motto_2 PARTY_ErikSteinbrecher_Argobooks_motto_3 PARTY_ErikSteinbrecher_Argobooks_motto_4

 

This year sees an election campaign and the candidates of the parties are present everywhere showing different slogans but the same pose: in a suit and tie looking to the camera with confidence and a bright smile. Erik Steinbrecher makes them all the same in his latest publication PARTY: Whether nationally conservative or left-liberal, the hopefuls in Germany or France, Switzerland, Great Britain or the USA are here alienated by the tomato slaughter to the point of being unrecognisable. Yet the reader still tries to find out who they are.

Untitled A2 is a publication that documents the project of the same title, Untitled A2, from 2013-2016.
Four blank scans of A4 stationary paper are tiled as one A2 graphic and act as the stable base for various experiments with (primarily) offset printing. The publication features individual works, works in series, installations, and drawings. As an offset printed object itself, the publication stands as a full loop of the project, but also as a document that is designed as an exhibition.A project by Mitchell Thar, book design and editing by Ott Metusala, with an essay by Andrew Christopher Green.

This publication contains pictures of eighty-four different hand tools from the collection of Michael Marriott. It celebrates the objects both for their function and for their inherent beauty in repose. Accompanying the objects is an essay by Neil Cummings entitled “Look at me, Look at me, Look at me”, which was originally published in Architectural Design magazine in 2002. It explores Reyner Banham’s notion of the “furniturisation” of everyday objects, and questions why previously unselfconscious domestic artifacts are now promoted as great design.
