UNION Magazine Issues 07 and 08 come together in this bundle, offering a two-volume view of an independent print journal devoted to architecture, art, and design. Issue 07 maps experimental, conceptual, and critical work, treating spatial practice as a form of research rather than a finished product. Issue 08, the latest from art ink, gathers practitioners whose work moves fluidly between building, image, performance, and research. Read side by side, the pair traces a continuous thread of inquiry across disciplines, making the bundle an ideal way to catch up on the journal's recent thinking or to give a fuller picture of its approach to spatial and creative practice.
About This Book
UNION treats spatial practice as a field of inquiry rather than a catalogue of finished projects, publishing architects, artists and designers side by side. Issue 08 continues that approach with a contributor list that ranges across generations and disciplines—from the Spanish partnership Ábalos & Herreros and the Mexican modernist Pedro Ramírez Vázquez to the choreographer Constanza Macras and the Milan-based interdisciplinary practice 2050+. Alongside them are Laura Bonell, Baptiste Doisneau, Gnuhr, Thélonious Goupil and Scotty James, making for an issue that reads as much as a conversation between practices as a survey of them.
