The cultural, social and scientific management of death--how to postpone it, how to prepare for it, what to do with remains, how to remember the deceased--forms the rarely acknowledged framework for the formation of society. Community is only possible if its members avow and disavow, the fact that every one of them will die. The many ways in which we live with, and despite, this knowledge inform the focus of Cabinet 49, with its special section on “Death.” Contributions include Stacey Roberts on the science of delaying death; Simon Jonasson on DIY burials; Elga Holt on the difference between human and animal mourning; and Suzanne Cotton on the history of suicide notes. Elsewhere in the issue: Leland de la Durantaye on a reimagining of The Waste Land; Sina Najafi on gifts given to and by American presidents; and an artist project by Santiago Borja.

Published by Aperture. Edited by Michael Famighetti.
The Fall 2013 issue of Aperture focuses on "Playtime." Taking its name from the 1967 film by Jacques Tati, the articles and portfolios explore how photography illuminates, facilitates, and participates in the many definitions of play-from role-play and sex-play to theater and jokes to leisure and fantasy. The issue features an interview with artist Chrisian Marclay about improvisation and the relationship between images and sounds; a conversation with Erwin Wurm about the possibilities and risks of using humor in contemporary art; and new, never-before-published work by Sophie Calle. Additionally, writer Eric Banks visits Saul Leiter's studio; Tim Davis examines the art of the photographic one-liner; Robin Kelsey surveys the artists who turned to games, whimsy, and clowning around in the 1960s and '70s; and Aveek Sen considers Italo Calvino's short story "The Adventure of a Photographer." Plus portfolios from Jo Ann Callis, Kauyoshi Usui, Bruno Munari, James Mollison, a little-known group of Cambridge University students who scaled campus buildings in the 1930s, and more.

Published by La Fábrica. Edited by Roni Horn, Vicente TodolÌ.
Guest-edited by Roni Horn and Vicente Todoli, the latest issue of Matador magazine is themed around Iceland and the general topic of weather, both of which Horn has explored at length in her own work. It includes poems by Emily Dickinson about Vesuvius; Dieter Roth's Surtsey Island series, in which he gradually transforms an image of the Surtsey volcano into a steaming plate of food; Dr. Atl's paintings of the Paricutin volcano; a transcription of Glenn Gould's radio-documentary The Idea of North; various images of Mount Herdubreid, the Queen of the Mountains in Iceland; and Horn's series You Are the Weather and Weather Reports You, in which people describe the weather where they live. A CD of music by Ólöf Arnalds is also included.
Published by Osmos. Edited by Cay Sophie Rabinowitz.
After cofounding Fantom in 2009 in Milan and New York, Cay Sophie Rabinowitz is continuing the endeavor by launching her magazine with the new name of Osmos. Osmos magazine focuses its editorial practice on texts and image series by practitioners and professionals investigating the uses and abuses of photography. Alongside more conventional genres, such as Essay, Interview, and Portfolio, Osmos frames some of its content in sectors, such as "Collections," about curatorial and archival practice; "Means to an End," about the side effects of non-artistic image production; and "Picture Perfect," where photography is implicit in the production of the featured work, but is not always the resulting final medium. One outstanding feature is the critical approach to the cover, which acknowledges the delayed effect of image capture or so-called "after image," by featuring an artist or work to be discussed in the following issue. With a radical blend of arresting images, print quality, and distinctive design, Osmos magazine is the most recognized publication in the market fostering contemporary perspectives in photography as the medium crossing all creative industries and practices--art, design, fashion and propaganda, aiming at the core of our imagination.
