‘New aesthetics, new identities, new technologies...’
Chunky publication Hube (which takes its name from the words ‘human’ and ‘be’) explores the world around us through the lenses of art, architecture, fashion, philosophy and more. It's a thick, well-produced bible of visual culture as it is now and how it might be in the coming decades. An interesting addition to the art/fashion/futures mix.
The particularly hefty fifth issue turns to poetry to make sense of the world, each story opening with a piece of verse, be it from Shakespeare, Bowie, Langston Hughes or Toyohiko Kawaga. Headlining this issue are photographer/filmmaker Nadia Lee Cohen, plus fashion designers Samuel Ross and Yohji Yamamoto, accompanied inside by the likes of architect Daniel Libeskind, theatre director Romeo Castellucio, painter Emma Webster and Holly Herndon in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist.
