MZIN NEWS: HANS HILLMANN — DER TITEL WIRD IM BILD FORTGESETZT (FOLKWANG MUSEUM)

„Ich habe Bücher von Pudowkin und von Eisenstein gelesen. Und es war interessant, was sie über Filmmontage schrieben. Da hab ich gedacht, vielleicht kann ich das auch für die Grafik benutzen in gewisser Umformung. Das waren durchaus interessante Beiträge, überhaupt das ganze Denken in Montage.“ Hans Hillmann
Die Geschichte des deutschen Plakats nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beginnt mit den Filmplakaten von Hans Hillmann. Seine Plakate werben nicht nur, sie kommentieren die jeweiligen Filme. Sie sind das Ergebnis einer eingehenden Beschäftigung mit den Charakteren, der Handlung, mit dem Kern und den besonderen Qualitäten eines Films. Hillmann kamen dabei seine außerordentlichen zeichnerischen Fähigkeiten zugute, aber er arbeitete auch mit Fotomontage, um das Filmthema im Plakat fortzusetzen. Diesem Anspruch widmete er sich völlig unabhängig vom Zeitgeschmack, indem er Flächen auf neue Weise strukturierte, Gestaltungs- und Freifläche komponierte und die Typografie als Teil des Bildes verstand.

MZIN NEWS: SHOBO SHOBO (POPPER PUBLISHING)

Popper Magazine is the first Latvian illustration magazine, established on 2012 and made by enthusiastic artists, passionate about the visual form of illustration. If it’s said that picture or photograph can speak a 1000 words for itself, then we believe that an illustration can speak and reveal much more than that. Therefore, our goal is to communicate with people through visual language and also to make a contribution to the Latvian cultural life.

From 2014 our concept has changed a bit and now we are Popper Publishing. We are going to be a platform for books, artzines and other projects about illustration, graphic design, photography and fine art. Our main focus will still be on illustration with good old original Popper Magazine publishing.

Popper Publishing has published artists such as Shoboshobo, Ian Stevenson, Zosen, Ekta, 108, Moneyless, Tellas, Dem, Aleksandra Waliszewska, Laurent Impeduglia, Pakito Bolino, Tommi Musturi, Brecht Vandenbroucke, Raymond Lemstra, Malarky, Hell’O Monsters, Escif, Okuda San Miguel, Low Bros, Luke Ramsey, Gary Baseman, Ted Parker, Nick Mann, Elzo Durt, Stéphane Blanquet, Ohta Keiichi, Grimes & many more.

MZIN NEWS: LOOK INSIDE — CUTAWAY ILLUSTRATIONS AND VISUAL STORYTELLING (VERLAG DIE GESTALTEN)

Looking at the outside of things such as architecture, anatomy, or vehicles does not usually reveal much about their internal structures and functions. To learn more, we need to see inside them. Look Inside features infographics that cut up or take apart their subjects and make them transparent. The resulting cross sections and interior views present precise detail in multiple layers.

Look Inside starts with a discussion of Arnhem Land, the earliest known cutaway illustrations, showing that even 28,000 years ago, humans had a fascination with how things internally work: the processes that are hidden from the human eye. Including work from both centuries past and the cutting-edge present, Look Inside is an unparalleled compendium of cutaway techniques and their wide-ranging applications. Works from Jewish-German physician Fritz Kahn’s imagine the human body as a mechanized factory; Kahn’s visual metaphors show conveyor belts and offices instead of veins and valves. Exploded images of classic sports cars allows Fabian Oefner to show every piece of the automotive puzzle from the body shell to individual tiny screws. Richard Orr’s scientific pieces represent the natural world and continue in the genre’s traditional thread of handmade illustrations; whether a beaver lodge or an arctic circle landscape, Orr presents a vivid natural world or layers and scientific hierarchies. The luxurious collection within Look Inside was curated by renowned information designers and creative directors, Samuel and Juan Velasco. The Velasco brothers have provided invaluable and inspirational insight in the history and theory of cutaway illustrations and visual storytelling.

Juan Velasco worked as Art Director at National Geographic for many years, has won multiple awards from the Society of News Design and Malofiej, and has served as the Graphics Art Director at the New York Times. He is the founder and creative director of 5W Infographics, a company based in Madrid, New York, and Washington, D.C. A detailed portrait of the information designer can be found in Gestalten’s A Life in Illustration.

Samuel Velasco is an original founder of the daily newspaper El Mundo, the second largest daily newspaper in Spain. After solidifying the role of El Mundo within the European infographics rise, he relocated to the US and became a graphic designer at Fortune magazine. He is now the creative director at 5W Infographics.

MZIN NEWS: KALEIDOSCOPE #29 — VISUAL CULTURE NOW (IT)

We are delighted to announce the release of KALEIDOSCOPE’s new issue #29 (spring 2017), premiering in New York during Armory Week.

This issue comes with a set of three collectable covers dedicated to our MAIN THEME survey, Dancing After All, exploring the riveting relationship between dance and contemporary art. This themed survey offers a fresh and in-depth perspective on the revolutionary possibilities of the body in movement, analyzing its aesthetic power, political charge and social impact—from the stage to the club, from the street to the gallery. The section is comprised of three interviews with cover artists Anne Imhof (by Susanne Pfeffer), Ligia Lewis (by Martha Kirszenbaum) and Alex Baczynski-Jenkins (by Kathy Noble); an essay by Francesca Gavin on dance in pop culture; case studies on British creative force FKA Twigs and American dance pioneer Merce Cunningham; a round table with performers/choreographers Maria Hassabi, Will Rawls and Cally Spooner moderated by Charles Aubin; and a visual insert by artist Cécile B. Evans.

To follow, this issue's MONO section is dedicated to New York painter Peter Halley. One of the most theory-aware artists of his generation, here Halley talks at length with Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen about how his practice transforms the language of geometric abstraction into a commentary on our post-industrial, technologically-governed society; while writer Wendy Vogel brings up back to the INDEX years (1996–2006), when Halley was the publisher of the cult magazine of indie culture. The feature is accompanied by an exclusive photo shoot by iconic New York fashion and celebrity photographer Roxanne Lowit.

The site for radical, specially-commissioned contributions by artists and creators, the VISIONS section includes: an insight into Loretta Fahrenholz’s new film, Two A.M., a fantasy tale on surveillance and social control; a conversation with curator Neville Wakefield (by Alessio Ascari) about the legacy of legendary 1970s magazine Avalanche; an intimate look to Talia Chetrit's pictures by fellow artist Sahra Motalebi; Spyros Staveris’ photographic testament to the ‘90s queer and underground scene in Athens; an exclusive meet-up between Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki and Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas; a sneak peek of Bjarne Melgaard's new clothing line, violently embracing the obsessive and self-destructive aspects of fashion; an interview with American artist George Condo by his Italian colleague Maurizio Cattelan; and finally, an introduction to Lou Dallas, the rag-tag collective of NY artists, designers and self-styled debutantes, with photography by Oto Gillen and a text by Alexander Shulan.

In the opening section of HIGHLIGHTS, twelve profiles account for the best of the season: Augustus Thompson (by Samantha Gregg), Juan Antonio Olivares (by Allison Fonder), Caroline Mesquita (by Elisa Linn & Lennart Wolff), Ghetto Gastro (by Anicée Gaddis), Cibelle Cavalli Bastos(by Germano Dushá), Nico Young (by Myriam Ben Salah), Miao Ying(by Xin Wang), Derya Akay (by Jesse McKee), Enterprise Projects(by Stamatia Dimitrakopoulos), Flash Flash Flash (by Christopher Schreck), Jill Mulleady (by Franklin Melendez), and Diamond Stingily(by Hanna Girma).

Finally in our closing section of REGULARS, Venus Lau joins the ranks of our columnists with “New Order,” a story-telling from a different time zone; Fiona Duncan looks at the photographic work of John Edmonds as part of her “Pro/Creative” series; Piper Marshall meets American artist Rachel Rose for some “Cheap Talk” on sound in film; in “Futura 89+,” Hans Ulrich Obrist and Simon Castets (with Katherine Dionysius) interview Ghanaian theater artist Elisabeth Sutherland; Alessio Ascaricontinues to probe the blurred lines of the visual reign in his series “Visualize,” interrogating the relationship between fashion and populism; and lastly, in “What’s Next,” we look forward to the season with Mohammed Al-Thani, the Founding Director of the New York-based Institute of Arab and Islamic Art.

This issue is accompanied by Biblical Brutalist Bauhaus Bakersfield, a special zine conceived and designed for KALEIDOSCOPE by visionary designer Rick Owens on the occasion of his exhibition “Furniture,” on view at MOCA Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles through 2 April.

MZIN NEWS: MIRABEL MAS — INTERFERENZEN, ZEICHNUNGEN UND GRAFIK (MMKOEHN)

In den Zeichnungen und Grafiken von Maribel Mas treten die Interferenzen zufällig auf, an den Berührungspunkten der Linien. Unter Verwendung von Schablonen aus Papier kann die Künsterin straffe Linien ziehen, die dann wie die Saiten eines Musikinstrumentes in Schwingung versetzt werden können. Tatsächlich haben die Wiederholungsmuster serieller Musik einen bemerkenswerten Einfluss auf ihre Arbeit, besonders die minimalistischen Kompositionen von Steve Reich und das Streben nach einer „phase music“, in der identische Klangphasen aufeinander gelegt werden mit minimalen Umstellungen. Mit einem ähnlichen Ansatz spielt die Künstlerin mit der Möglichkeit einer „phase drawing“. Dafür verwendet sie nur die einfachsten Materialien: Papier und Tusche.


Das Papier, mehr als eine tragende Oberfläche, wird zum aktiven Element. Den einzigartigen Charakter eines nicht industriellen, nicht standarisierten Materials zu verstehen und entdecken war ein langsamer Prozess, ermöglicht durch die Zusammenarbeit mit Handwerksmeistern in Japan, die die verschiedenen von ihr verwendeten Papiersorten aus Ganpi-, Mitsumata- und Kouzofasern herstellen.


In ihrer Barcelonaer Werkstatt und der Leipziger Spinnerei hat Maribel Mas an diversen Grafikprojekten mitgewirkt, in denen sie neue Möglichkeiten der Linie entdecken konnte. Ausgehend von diesen Erfahrungen mit Lithografie, Cliché verre und Photopolymer konzentriert sie ihr Werk auf sich wiederholenden Linien als konstruktives Element. Die Interferenzen, die auf natürliche Weise in einem Arbeitsverfahren ohne vorherige Skizzen entstehen, laden zum Nachdenken ein: über die Vielfältigkeit und Unbeständigkeit der Dinge – oder aber sie eröffnen einen Spielraum, in dem der Blick mit den Linien frei spielen kann.


Die Zeichnerin und Lithografin Maribel Mas ist 1967 in Caracas geboren. Im Jahr 2000 ließ sie sich in Barcelona nieder, wo sie sich auf Lithografie spezialisierte und 2005 die Druckwerkstatt „Taller Esquina“ gründete. Heute arbeitet sie gemeinsam mit Museen und Kunsthochschulen an verschiedenen grafischen Projekten. Ihre Werke sind bereits in vielen Städten ausgestellt worden – Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Osaka und Leipzig, wo sie seit 2015 lebt.

MZIN RESTOCK: MUITA ANIMACAO — POSTERS FROM THE NOEL FISHER COLLECTION (ROLLO PRESS)

Muita Animação showcases a selection of Portuguese party posters that are very prominent in the local landscape because of their bold design as well as their unique production method: Printed on plastic and mounted on streetposts and trees, they mostly survive the date they announce and therefore can even be seen on Google Streetview. Zurich Artist Noël Fischer started to collect these posters a few years back and has now — together with design studio Hammer — published them in this whimsical A3-sized book. This collection might as well be Jan Tschichold’s worst nightmare.

MZIN RESTOCK: ANNA HAIFISCH — THE ARTIST (REPRODUKT)

Ein vogelartiges Geschöpf bewegt sich mehr oder weniger erfolglos in der Kunstwelt und träumt davon, eines Tages ein großer Künstler zu sein. Allerdings wird es immer wieder mit Rückschlägen konfrontiert – quälende Selbstzweifel sind die unausweichliche Folge…

Anna Haifischs Porträt des Kunstbetriebs ist satirisch pointiert und zugleich schonungslos menschlich. Klar, dass sich das am besten mit Tierfiguren erzählen lässt. “The Artist” erscheint seit Herbst 2015 in wöchentlichen Episoden auf vice.com.
