Vice Photo Issue '10

I found the new Vice Issue in one of those trendy 'underground' wannabe shops in a'dam the other day. The Magazine just presented its annual Photo Issue and this year they focused on ugly non sense still lifes with a so called 'contemporary look'. Some of the best photographers from all over the world contributed to this Photo Issue, amongst them are Ryan McGinley,Martin Parr, Spike Jonze, Simon Wald-Lasowski and Richard Kern and a whole bunch of other talented photographers.
Along with the release of their latest issue, Vice opened an exhibition at Amsterdam’s West Indisch Pakhuis, through August 6th.

ApartamentoMagazine

I bumped into Apartamento Magazine again the other day at a friends place.
It has been created by Nacho Alegre, photographer, Omar Sosa and Albert Folch from Albert Folch Studio in Barcelona, and Marco Velardi, an independent writer and curator based in Milan.
It's basically an interior design magazine, but a magazine that one can relate to, it was born to tell the story of personal experiences and lifes through the spaces where we live and work. Everyday stories, seen without the usual masks of look-a-like interiors perfect to the millimeter, because in real life variables are infinite and unpredictable since every environment has got its own dynamics and peculiarities that make it special. And this is missing in every I.D. magazine we find around in the bookshop's design section.
