Title Quote: Rilke
UPPERCASE – About the magazine.
“A magazine for the creative and the curious”
“We’re inquisitive: learning from other artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers and musicians, whether they’re upstarts or icons, famous or shy, verbal or visual.
We’re inspired: enchanted by great ideas and strange inventions; by colour and pattern; things fancy and frugal; the charm of vintage in a modern life; the ridiculous and the sublime. We’re adventurous: traveling to destinations both real and imagined, peeking into creative spaces and discovering magnificent people and memorable places. We’re eclectic: curating souvenirs, collecting treasures and celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday. We’re playful: delighting in visual amusements, intelligent distraction, entertaining wordplay and sweet indulgences. We’re UPPERCASE: a magazine for the creative and curious!” -UPPERCASE

“Seeing the Everyday seeks to honestly tell and simply show the everyday beauties found in quiet and humble moments of our own homes and yards with those whom we love most. It documents through word and image real stories of the ordinary scenarios that occur in family – finding poetry in the prosaic.” -Editors of Seeing the everyday
Title Quote: Thoreau
Link: The Thing Quarterly.
The Thing
“THE THING is an object based quarterly publication. Each issue of THE THING is conceived of by an individual artist, wrapped by the editors ( Jonn Hershend and Will Rogan ) and sent to the subscribers. “
Link: The Thing Quarterly :: About The Thing.
“THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object. Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors ( Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan ) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped in brown paper packaging by the editors and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.
THE THING’s current year of subscriptions ( issues 1-4 ) will begin in August with a project by the performance artist and filmmaker Miranda July, whose first feature length film, Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005), won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival, including the Camera d’Or. The subscription year will continue with projects by visual artists Anne Walsh, Kota Ezawa, and Trisha Donnelly.”
Link: Afterall.
“Afterall is a publishing organisation based in London and Los Angeles.
Afterall journal provides a forum
for the critical consideration of contemporary art practice. Focusing on the work of living individual artists or artist collectives, the journal presents thoughtful, in-depth analyses of work, along with framing essays that broaden the context in which to understand it. Grounded in a rigorous process of research and review, the editorial
team seeks to develop an account of contemporary art that encompasses interdisciplinary forms that press on the limits of art’s definition, social practices that question the political efficacy of art, as well as the individual investigations into material and form more often acknowledged in the market. The journal is co-published by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, and the School of Art at the California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles.”
Link: Dumbo feather, pass it on : About |.
“In each issue of Dumbo feather five remarkable individuals tell you their stories. Their backgrounds and dreams are as unique as they are but what unites them is their creativity, passion and integrity, and somewhere they found the courage to fly. In their own words they tell you how they discovered their passion, what inspires them, the lows as well as the highs on the journey and ultimately why they do what they do.
Each person’s passion is unique whether it’s baking the best 100% natural sourdough bread in the world, producing fabulous fashion in remote Northern Pakistan, writing poetry, making music, fighting for human rights, finding a cure for malaria, painting, choreographing, exploring, wine making, film making…
Dumbo feather has been described as a ‘mook’ (half mag, half book). It’s like a magazine because it’s produced quarterly, sold in newsagents and supported by advertising partners. It’s like a book because it’s a great read (almost like a series of mini-autobiographies), sold in bookstores and design stores and feels like one with it’s beautiful matt paper and weighty cover. It’ll stand on a bookshelf no problemo.
Dumbo feather respects its readers (we do not ‘dumb down’ content), the environment (by printing on 100% recycled paper using soy-based inks by one of the most eco-friendly printers in the country), and its contributors’ work.
Dumbo feather is created by a small team of devoted individuals with love and passion.” dfpio
Link: B���K America, Inc..
“A BUK is an inexpensive pamphlet—just $1.49—containing one provocative essay, short story, portfolio of pictures, collection of poems, or other surprising entertainment, readable in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. At 5 x 7 inches and 16-32 pages, a BUK fits easily into a pocket, purse or backpack, where it is always ready to serve up absorbing material by or about architects, artists, actors, composers, critics, directors, designers, divas, educators, economists, environmentalists, essayists, models, moguls, novelists, photographers, politicians, poets, singers, and scientists.
In style and spirit, BüK draws upon the heritage of 18th- and 19th-century pamphleteers, who sold their cheaply printed texts on the street to spread new concepts—like democracy. Likewise, BüK’s literary offerings put a 21st-century spin on dime novels, shilling shockers, and penny dreadfuls. Neither books nor magazines, BüKs are intellectual candy for people on the go—collectibles that cost less than a latte.” – BUK America
