Human Being Journal Issue 5 explores BABEL, the post-boundary zeitgeist in which good is more important than different.
This time out, we talk digital art and ownership with Rafaël Rozendaal, travel to Spin’s studio in London to meet the legends behind Unit Editions, and even hop a ride to Tijuana for an afternoon with an architect building meaningful change. We met Common Projects on both sides of the Atlantic, talked Southwest art and minimalism with Apiece Apart, dabbled in dumpsters and dodged a few shanks. The lovely lads behind + Pool gave us a personal look inside their epic undertaking, and we made friends with six extraordinary Humans who regularly outdo the ordinary, including our cover girl, Ana Kraš.
We’ve gone a bit more wordy with this issue, too, with a few critical essays from some esteemed contrarians. What’s more, we’ve had a minor redesign, with fresh type and delicious new papers. And, this issue will also mark the debut of our Japanese-language edition. (Yo, Japan!)
Each issue takes an optimistic look at the creative landscape—with an emphasis on process, people, and, ultimately, good—through top-notch photography, writing and illustration. As always, look forward to ace fashion editorials, far-off destination reportage and a fair bit of witty banter.
