Maggi’s Mag is a collaboration between Middle Plane magazine and British artist Maggi Hambling creating a dialogue between art and fashion. The issue reads as a visual interview made up of photo series presented in a non-linear format that sheds light on the artist in varied ways – at times intimidating and confrontational, at others generous and humorous. From drawing on her vices and behaviours to exploring the unusual juxtaposition of fashion and art, the editorials include a series of intimate photographs of Hambling, cinematic stills Inspired by her love of the sea, a series that draws on her penchant for meringues and a study on form inspired by Maggi’s life drawings.
Contributors: Juergen Teller, Sam Rock, Isabelle Wenzel, Paul Kooiker, Katie Burnett, James Cahill, Marlborough Gallery and more.
Soft cover, 315X240mm, 276pp

We are proud to present new fashion editorials as a response to the work of artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
The issue is comprised of four separate and bound editorials and The Silver Post newspaper, which can be found enclosed in an envelope. Each editorial responds to a specific artwork or body of work by Gonzalez-Torres, addressing manifold topics such as capitalism and democracy, isolation and togetherness, loss and renewal, and the celebration of life in response to difficult realities.
While Gonzalez-Torres referred to himself as American, he was born in Guaimaro, Cuba, in 1957 and raised in Puerto Rico. He moved to New York in 1979 and died of AIDS-related causes in 1996. Felix Gonzalez-Torres employed simple, everyday materials and a reduced aesthetic vocabulary reminiscent of both Minimalism and Conceptual Art to address themes such as love and loss, sickness and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality.

Middle Plane Issue No. 1 was conceived with a single idea: to create a dialogue between the conceptual artist Vadim Zakharov and the fashion world. There are no off-bounds topics. Vadim Zakharov is an artist who expands his media across all fields from painting, drawing and photography to video, performance and installation, making a printed issue was both a challenge and a game. Curated by Chiara Valci Mazzara and Gabriela A. Covblic / fontaine b.

Middle Plane Issue No. 0 is preoccupied with process. Here we present a preparation —a work-in-progress so that we might open a frank dialogue with the reader with a new level of transparency. It represents a movement, where the lines between ego, megalomania and delusion break down. It is for you to fill in the missing gaps. This is an object that is not complete.
