Hyper Romanticism vs. Under Reality. In our biggest issue so far (230 pages!), you will find a special feature on Scandinavian powerhouse ACNE including an interview with Creative Director JONNY JOHANSSON and a preview to their Fall/Winter collections, a conversation with the founder of 10 Corso Como CARLA SOZZANI, a feature on English retail icon TOMMY ROBERTS, a talk with 032c and Interview Germany Editor-in-Chief JÖRG KOCH, insight into the work of New York's design duo ROMAN & WILLIAMS, a visual essay by Art Director MARC ATLAN and also AARON ROSE, AKRAM ZAATARI, MIHARA YASUHIRO, NICOLAS PROVOST, BRIONI, MARY ELLEN MARK & MARTIN BELL, JACK PIERSON and many more. HARLEY WEIR shot face of Vivenne Westwood DEMPSEY STEWART in a blockbuster 30 page editorial for our cover. THOMAS LOHR was inspired by James Bond for our license-to-kill menswear story, TINA SCHOTT and MARTON PERLAKI fight with the enemy within and the issue also features photography by ARI MARCOPOULOS, MIKAEL SCHULZ, JONATHAN WAITER, ROSA RENDL, JONAS LINDSTROM and many others.

The sensual video perfectly blends with the atmospheric and deeply emotional sounds of the band, abstracting and deconstructing body-parts and nude photography. As well as the wide sound-fields they create, the video leaves room for interpretation and 'Rock My Body' gives the meaningless image of nudity in an oversaturated time a bit of its tenderness back. They will be touring Europe over the next month and come to Berlin and London among others. <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-1_800.jpg" width="800" height="449" width_o="800" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-1_o.jpg" data-mid="16365801" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-3_800.jpg" width="800" height="449" width_o="800" height_o="449" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-3_o.jpg" data-mid="16365805" border="0" align="left"/> 16th April BERLIN @Antje Øklesund 17th April BERLIN @Madame Claude 19th April VIENNA @Lilli's Studio 20th April VIENNA @Zweitbester 28th April COLOGNE @Boutique 8th May LONDON @Power Lunches Art Cafe <img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-2_800.jpg" width="800" height="447" width_o="800" height_o="447" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-2_o.jpg" data-mid="16365821" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-5_800.jpg" width="800" height="448" width_o="800" height_o="448" src_o="http://payload44.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3197087/lb-5_o.jpg" data-mid="16365823" border="0" align="left"/> http://soundcloud.com/lonelyboys http://blog.huskmagazine.de/FRAGMENTS http://blog.huskmagazine.de/following/blog.huskmagazine.de/FRAGMENTS Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:42:14 +0000 HUSK 3176292 HUSK explores the conflict between HYPER ROMANTICISM and UNDER REALITY in its Spring-Summer 2012 issue.

Since 2007 Bompass & Parr have become known for architecture models made of jelly, they flooded the roof of London's Selfridges and create chocolate waterfalls. ABSOLUT Vodka invited them to join their ABSOLUT BLANK ATELIER in Munich, which brings together creatives from various fields in a four day event from March 22-25. There, they will explore the creative process and impulses through food. We met up with Sam in their London studio and talked to him about creativity, the creative process and jelly. How did you and Harry meet and when did you decide to become food artists? Harry and I have known each other forever, we went to school together when we were kids, we had a lot of fun together. Five years ago, we decided to have an adventure. We got a stall at Borough market and wanted to contribute a light dessert in contrast to all the heavy food that was offered there. This brought us to jelly. We couldn't afford the beautiful jelly molds, so we had to use all our tricks to produce our own molds. With Harry's architecture and design background we started producing them. With a whole genre of food art and food design that has evolved over the past five years, we just perfectly fitted in and it's been marvelous and a wild ride ever since. We basically want to find out how far we can push and explore food by not focusing on only one genre, but by bouncing all over the place in order to achieve something fun and good. This feeds into some of the topics that are also going to be touched at the ABSOLUT ATELIER; to look at the creative process, to take the praxis that is associated with a certain discipline and take it to another one. Food has become like an alternative religion to some, especially in recent years. Where would you see yourself in that religion? We only spend about 20% with the actual food, because people's food literacy is very low. Whereas people's visual literacy is much higher. The food has to be good, but you can achieve much more in terms of giving someone an incredible experience through everything that goes around it. In terms of our food philosophy, the food that we like is really simple. If you look at what a lot of chefs eat at home, you'll find out that it is pretty simple as well. We do a lot of mocking around with all the stuff on the edges. I would say, yes, food is a religion. Anything can be a religion. There's a lot of magic in life as a whole, it's this sort of greek idea of balance. <img src="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bp-2_800.jpg" width="800" height="532" width_o="1280" height_o="852" src_o="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bp-2_o.jpg" data-mid="15520752" border="0" align="left"/> Sam Bompas & Harry Parr You obviously work as a team and also collaborate with a lot of other people. How do you approach and manage the creative process among the both of you and with others? We are a very small team and we basically start with an argument. Harry and me, we have very different tastes and discuss about many different ideas. What we are left with is very good as it has been defended from all angles and we are very passionate about it, it elevates the output. We've been very lucky to work with a lot of 'super hot' people from all sorts of disciplines. I usually go out, get drunk and when I come back and look at people's work online, I would just write them and suggest them ideas. Mostly, if you have a great idea and are open and generous with it, people will respond to it, ending up with the most amazing creatives. Creativity is a very hard-to-grasp term. What does it mean for you? Who are creatives, who is creative? I think everyone is creative. I just hang out with my little sister today and she's a very serious barrister and she in fact would say that she wasn't creative, which broke my heart. She's got a photographic memory and she can read a pile of documents in no time and then have a sensible conversation about the content. It is a lot about being confident about your own opinion and that's what we've learnt over the years. A lot of the people that we've done work for are not confident about what they do. They cook something and are apologetic for it or they sit at a wine tasting being very led by the expert in the group and afraid to say their own opinion. For us it's very important to enable people to be confident. A lot of what creativity is about is having that confidence which brings you then to actually achieving something. <img src="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bopa-1_800.jpg" width="800" height="344" width_o="800" height_o="344" src_o="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bopa-1_o.jpg" data-mid="15520055" border="0" align="left"/> Tata Naka show, September 2010 Within the context of ABSOLUT BLANK ATELIER the image of the blank page will be discussed, the situation when a creative needs to find a solution for a problem, an idea and maybe doesn't have one. The blank page is an interesting idea. I find it's a matter of time, because a blank page is a luxury. The problem we often have is that we don't have time, so the blank page is not an option at all, there is always a solution by necessity. We are trying to bring every idea down to about two sentences. You don't need to fill out much of the blank page in order for it to be brilliant. You will speak about creative impulses. What is a creative impulse for you? There are a lot of different impulses. We get ideas from everywhere, different disciplines, from history, basically anything outside from the traditional food arena. We love the weather for instance. So what happens if you try to recreate certain weather phenomenons with alcohol. I think thats a fun way to approach it. Or how do you recreate the alcoholic equivalent of mugging. This all leads you to a discussion about the very nature of alcohol, why do people drink, whats important about a drink. <img src="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bopa-2_800.jpg" width="800" height="367" width_o="800" height_o="367" src_o="http://payload36.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/3032021/bopa-2_o.jpg" data-mid="15520068" border="0" align="left"/> Architectural jelly creations Obviously when we speak about the creative process, we have to address referencing and copying also. How do you approach this as there is a very thin line between both of them. We never really copy stuff because a lot of what we do hasn't been done before but it varies certainly from project to project how to approach the research process. If you look at history and there is something incredible you found, you might wanna transfer it to our time. You want to achieve the same result but you have to use modern methods and go through a different process and finally you'll end up with something that is quite different. Are you afraid of repetition or is it a part of being creative? Is it what people want? People often want what you have done before, which can be quite frustrating as you want to do something new. We want to do stuff where we don't know how to do it yet in order to come out on the other side having learnt something. If someone asked you to teach creativity to a group of students, what would you say? Stop copying each other. Go to a library and copy things that you read in books not what you see on the blogs. The problem is that everyone looks at the same sources, so everything looks exactly the same. It's nice if you can break out of that. What we want to tease out with ABSOLUT ATELIER is that ideally everyone that comes will go away and do something amazing. We've basically done many of the things that we have ever dreamt of and could make a living from it for the last five years. It's just about doing it, calling people up and making stuff happen. You just have to bother to it. http://www.jellymongers.co.uk/ http://www.absolut.com/uk/Blank/ Interview Vinz Hölzl http://blog.huskmagazine.de/Intimate-Stage

their dens and starts analyzing what we have seen in Paris, New York, Milan and London. For the British capital, Alexandra Waespi helps us with her beautifully intimate and impressive behind-the-scenes images. They seem like from another time when there was no Twitter, live-web broadcast and bloggers front-row. Not that this is a bad thing, but these images remind you that it is still some very special, maybe strange, but definitely unique moments that happen backstage. The images were taken at The ones to watch men's, Asger Juel Larsen vs. T.Lipop, Dans la Vie, Zoe Jordan and Christian Blanken. http://www.waespiphotography.com/ http://blog.huskmagazine.de/Emma-Richardson http://blog.huskmagazine.de/following/blog.huskmagazine.de/Emma-Richardson Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:51:20 +0000 HUSK 2704234 <img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/BOS This Is So Nice It Must Be Illegal_800.jpg" width="800" height="1000" width_o="800" height_o="1000" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/BOS This Is So Nice It Must Be Illegal_o.jpg" data-mid="13713912" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/BOS You-re Not Pretty But You Got It Goin- On_800.jpg" width="800" height="1000" width_o="800" height_o="1000" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/BOS You-re Not Pretty But You Got It Goin- On_o.jpg" data-mid="13713915" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/emma_1_800.jpg" width="800" height="1086" width_o="800" height_o="1086" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/4/132173/2704234/emma_1_o.jpg" data-mid="13728390" border="0" align="left"/> Emma Richardson is one of these multi-talented creatives out there. She is best known for being a part of the 'Band of Skulls' - who release their second album this month - but spends the rest of her time as an artist. She graduated in 2004 in Fine Arts and presented her first solo-exhibition earlier this month. Her images explore the human anatomy and play with symmetry and abstraction. The result is an abstract, partly surrealist moment that fluctuates between chaos and harmony. If you won't be able to get your hands on one of her paintings - her artwork is also on the covers of the band's two albums. It is time for a few questions. Could you please tell us the story behind your exhibition? We had the opportunity to work with Day Dreaming With and James Lavelle for the exhibition. We used this space called the Londonnewcastle project, it just so happened to be available for a week. It was a chance to show all the artwork and sleeves I’d worked on. Generally, what is your creative process like? Usually I’ll have a window of time to use and that’s it. So I’ll have to get everything done under pressure. I think deadlines make me work well. How would you describe the relationship between your artwork and your music? I think they exist in the same place but I concentrate on each one separately. I like to listen to music while I paint but it doesn’t necessarily inspire my work. How much of yourself do you put into your artwork? I put all of myself into it in that it’s all me creating it but what I paint isn’t myself. A lot of what I paint is the human form, I paint from anatomy books. I haven’t ever used life models, that would be a luxury. Do you have any other creative projects in the pipeline like this one? I have a series of sketch books which I’ve been using while I’ve been on the road with all my sketches and doodles and I’ve been thinking about collating a book of my favourite drawings. But that’s nothing to do with the band really, that’s just my dream.

Words by Anni Truu Images by Mattias Malk You can’t help yourself falling in love with Tracey Duodu and Tom Barber, the beautiful sound makers behind 14th. The London based duo takes you there — wherever you need to go. Their love story started from Tom texting Tracey ‘You still singing?’ and there you go, two souls, which so obviously belong together, were united. Their contradicting stage personas paint you with colours and leave you wanting more. No more words necessary, make sure to listen to their tracks between midnight and 5 am, the feeling of their sound will stick with you forever. http://14thmusic.com/
