the journal is a unique quarterly publication that links contemporary culture, art, music, skateboarding and snowboarding like no other magazine does. Defining the creative landscape of today, the journal has established itself at the forefront of a significant and growing niche while fast becoming an influential and celebrated publication across media marketplace.
In the journal, in-depth interviews with influential individuals, large inserts from important artists, defining photography and exclusive content come together to form a publication that has no equal. Since its conception, the journal has continued on an organic growth spurt with the support of an ever-discerning, creative and diversified readership. In a world filled with millions of media outlets with unmatched content and tempered quality, the journal is a digest proclaiming only the truly collectible, influential and unforgettable. Speaking to a multitude of different audiences, the journal sets precedent to cross cultural divides.
This issue of the journal (Entry 22) features an interview with German enfant terrible Jonathan Meese as well as reproductions of 28 new paintings, collages, and drawings by the artist. The issue also showcases photo portraits by Terence Koh of his family, as well as an interview with Koh, and a discussion with New York artist Lisa Oppenheim. Other contributors include Thomas Awalt Rouse, Mick Barr, Mark Borthwick, Kria Brekkan, Melissa Brown, Destroyer, Josh Dibb, Ry Fyan, Evan Gruzis, Tim Koh, Andrew Kuo, Rivane Neuenschwander, Deanna Templeton, and Michael Williams.
Complimenting the journal is a supplement containing 29 drawings by Jack Pierson titled Ithaka, which is comprised of two series: images based on a postcard of Jackie Kennedy and figure studies by Pierson of models while visiting "life sessions." The two series are positioned against each other for each spread, with Jackie Kennedy's features providing a contrasting detail for the faceless and innocuous models.
Since its founding in 1999 by Michael Nevin, the journal has been a repository for DIY creative culture (both as a zine and as a gallery space since 2004), with a particular bent for skateboard and snowboard culture. The quarterly journal/zine went from saddle stitched to perfect bound--evolving into a full-color magazine that comes coupled with sought-after limited editions by the likes of Dash Snow, Jack Pierson, Will Shine, David Shrigley, and Wolfgang Tillmans, among others.
