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," on the side effects of non-artistic image production. This issue features an essay by artist Jill Magid on her own practice, a portfolio of paintings by Derek Jarman introduced by pioneering punk writer Jon Savage, a text by Isolde Brielmaier on artists engaging with the concepts and realities of migration, immigration, and borders, and a reflection on American's most successful girl group The Supremes' early video-mediated performances.
