Aspen

The beautiful Aspen multimedia mag, discovered in ubu a month ago. But can't get my eyes off of it. Published by Phyllis Johnson between 1965 and 1971. Each issue was a different team and each box a new experience. Thinking of contemporary magazines that are valid and inspirational... One is for sure Cabinet with different themes every month and the other is BIDOUN done by a great team Negar, Antonia and Lisa (between others) on art (cinema, music, food, jewelery et all) from the middle east. Keep up the good work guys!
