Author Description

Osmos Magazine is "an art magazine about the use and abuse of photography," explains founder and editor Cay Sophie Rabinowitz (formerly of Parkett and Fantom). The magazine is divided into thematic sections--some traditional, such as "Portfolio," "Stories" and "Reportage"--and others more idiosyncratic, such as "Eye of the Beholder," where gallerists discuss the talents they showcase; and "Means to an End," about the side effects of nonartistic image production. This issue features Tom McDonough on Joy Episalla, a conversation with Gillian Wearing about her 20 years of making Polaroid self-portraits, an essay by Pavel VanDát on Jan Svoboda, Meleko Mokgosi, David Hart, Robert Rauschenberg, and a special vintage cover by Co Rentmeester.
