Matter is a new biannual publication, from the team behind Kilimanjaro, that records the ways in which new and developing technology affects culture, lifestyle, fashion, and the arts.
Created by the studio behind the acclaimed arts and culture magazine Kilimanjaro, Matter shares the former’s curatorial approach to design and content. Designed to appeal to a consumer eager to tap into an ever-changing and increasingly sophisticated world, with particular regard to the twin disciplines of high-end design and culture, its inaugural issue is covered by the iconic trip-hop artist Tricky, who talks exclusively to Matter about music, imperfection, and reinvention.
Matter’s USP is the fact that it is the first art and style publication to examine these subjects through the lens of modern technology; in doing so, it brings together the creative and the rational in a way which is rarely seen in the realms of printed matter.
First issue includes:
Dieter Rams, Ole Scheeren, Matthew Collings, Pierre Huyghe & William Gibson.
Google’s Creative Director of Data Arts, Aaron Koblin, on digital art. Iconic fashion designer Rick Owens presents an Anthology Of Colour. Editor Jennifer Higgie on twenty years of Frieze magazine. Art & The Automobile, featuring the American artists Richard Prince and Erwin Wurm. Tate Exhibitions Curator Tanya Barson on the Lyon Biennale. Celebrated conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, shot by NY underground photographer Ari Marcopolous. Photographer – and former director of Dior Homme – Hedi Slimane’s best images of women.
Matter magazine is 200 pages, and retails at £8.00
