The ‘magazine for architectural entertainment’ returns with its ‘Museum’ edition, the first in a series of guest-edited issues beginning with Zurich-based curators Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen. Relatively tamer in format—no drilled holes or serrated edges this time—it asks whether this politically and culturally contentious institution ‘can nurture and inspire the imagination; or is it a place of ruin where objects go to die, an artificial hell, a machine, a monster?’
Inside: a special section on Warsaw's new Museum of Modern Art; interviews with Martine Syms, Smiljan Radić, Max Richter and Itsuko Hasegawa; features on Carrie Mae Weems' monochrome Museums series and a reenactment of 17th century Pilgrim life in Massachusetts. Plus, 37 of PIN-UP's current favourite things, while John Waters has the final say on museum toilets.
With nine covers to choose from!
