Middle Plane №11

Each issue of Middle Plane typically uses fashion as an entry point in examining a single artist’s work and legacy. This eleventh issue is dominated by visuals, blending otherworldly and familiar scenes: from medieval castles and lush vistas to high street billboards, off-licences and bus stops. On the covers, you’ll find Julian Schnabel, Walter Van Beirendonck, Grace Hartzel, George Anderson and more, with interviews seamlessly incorporated. Plus, a 68-page photo insert from artist Roni Horn covering news and the weather.
On the Journal: About an earlier issue, ‘We’re interested to see whether this unusual and experimental pilot issue is purely concerned with launching the title, and if this compellingly irreverent approach will form a template for issue one and beyond. What will happen when the object actually is the magazine and those quotes for printing turn into ink on paper? Will those blank advert spaces turn into elaborate spreads featuring luxury goods? Will we continue to be surprised by what this process-based approach generates?’
