‘Exploring the relationship between art and fashion’
Each issue of the glossy large-format biannual Middle Plane typically uses fashion as an entry point in examining a single artist’s work and legacy.
The twelfth issue features conversations between Danh Võ and Juergen Teller, Luc Tuymans and Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Catherine Opie and Gillian Wearing, interspersed with playful fashion editorials—blending ornate clothing with urban settings—photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, Martín Sabino, Tess Petronio, Alasdair McLellan, Julie Greve, Mark Kean and more.
Plus, a 24-page surreal visual insert from artist Mark Leckey, titled ‘Nabuchodonosor and the Lathe of Heaven’.
