032c
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
032c magazine is an English-language, bi-annual contemporary culture magazine that covers art, fashion, and politics.
The publication's name refers to a Pantone color code; in the Pantone Matching System, 032c refers to a bold red. The magazine was founded in Berlin in 2000 by Joerg Koch and Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenhain, who invite both leading and emerging creatives to collaborate around a single theme for each issue. Past contributors include Matthew Barney, Hedi Slimane, Daido Moriyama, Juergen Teller, and Rem Koolhaas/OMA. The fashion section has featured stories by Steven Klein, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Fabian Baron and Alasdair McLellan.
i-D magazine considers 032c to be “dedicated to the celebration of ideas,” French Vogue has referred to it as a “revue ultra-pointue,” and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has called the magazine “the Berlin magazine that propagates an aesthetic of brutal elegance.” According to the New York Times, “the magazine fuses art and architecture, literature, urban studies in ways that can make one forget how depressing a visit to a newsstand has become.”
032c has been exhibited at the London Design Museum, Colette (Paris), GAS (Tokyo), The Pineal Eye (London) and the 3rd Berlin Biennial, and has received much acclaim for its design and editorial scope, having recently been awarded one of Germany’s Lead Awards for National Visual Lead Magazine, 2006.
