Excerpt from The Daily Scene: FARAN KRENTCIL
(NEW YORK) How’s this for self-referential: Visionaire will soon launch an art exhibit, devoted to…other independent magazines.
"Megazines at Visionaire Gallery" opens on July 31, and features a colorful selection of glossies from past and present. On display (and also for sale) at the Mercer Street space will be Gazette du Bon Ton, the first ever illustrated fashion magazine, the Surrealist journal View, and the launch issues of Interview, i-D, Dazed & Confused, and other progressive culture books. Besides an archive of older magazines, the exhibit will also showcase and sell new publications on the art and fashion landscape, including Acne Paper, The Blowup, and Useless. While the show may be pure education for some viewers, it’s a bit of nostalgia for Visionaire co-founder Stephen Gan, whose alma mater, Details, is included in the lineup.
