Join Aperture and featured artist Daniel Shea at Claire de Rouen Books to toast the launch of Aperture No. 255, “The Design Issue,” which introduces a new look for the magazine by the award-winning, London-based design studio A2/SW/HK.
The issue features previously unpublished images by Luigi Ghirri, a profile of the artist and jewellery designer Coreen Simpson, interviews with the celebrated fashion designer Duro Olowu and the design writer Alice Rawsthorn, and dynamic portfolios from Daniel Shea, Paul Kooiker, and Nhu Xuan Hua that show photography’s boundless potential to tell stories about urban change, identity, and sartorial politics. Elsewhere, Dayanita Singh presents her long-term engagement with the architects Geoffrey Bawa and Bijoy Jain, and Mimi Zeiger considers David Hartt’s interventions with the built environment and iconic buildings, including Philip Johnson’s Glass House.
To mark the launch of this exciting new issue, award-winning photographer Daniel Shea will be in conversation with Lillian Wilkie—Aperture’s manager of sales in the UK and Europe—discussing the ways that architecture from disparate places and historical moments, echoes throughout his work in relation to political and socioeconomic shifts.
Free entry, no need to book.
