Twin Issue 3

Words by Alex Bec, Wednesday 10 November 2010

I remember being very excited about the launch of Twin, and that enthusiasm third time round hasn’t wavered. A stellar line-up comes as standard and this time includes a whole host of great articles by Immodesty Blaize, Sloane Crosley, Simon Rich and Kristin Hersh. The two bits I’m most looking forward to though are a photo diary by Gia Coppola, who’s photography I’ve fallen in love with, and a frank account of life on tour by Alison Mosshart, who (as I’m sure you know if you’ve seen her perform) is as spell-binding as they come.

Work / Art Anthony Gerace presents “And Another Thing …”: a new book of artworks and collages

Artist Anthony Gerace presents his new monograph And Another Thing… a collection of artworks and collages spanning the last seven years. The book, published by Ain’t Bad editions, contains 128 pages of work and is printed in a limited run of 700 copies. “What I wanted to do with this book was present where the work was going and the work I have been dealing with for a long time,” the artist explains. The book contains collages executed with precision and control, providing a wealth of information that can be interpreted at speed, or carefully picked apart and decoded. Each work is unified by a precision and depth that demands attention from the reader.

Work / Publication Caña celebrates the humble pint

The man behind design/travel site we-heart.com James Davidson got in contact to tell us about Caña, a soon-to-launched independent print magazine with an accompanying exhibition to open in Barcelona next week. Caña plots the relationship of the humble pint and the creative world. “I have always loved beer, long before the craft beer explosion I was drinking real ale, warm and cloudy – naturally, the craft beer thing swept me up and when I moved to Barcelona three years ago, I befriended the guys behind a fledgling brewery and the obsession grew exponentially,” James explains. Caña is also the brainchild of Derby-based developer and long-time collaborator John Wilson.

Work / Publication Musician and collector Paul Major’s rare record covers and DIY ephemera collated together in new book

Paul Major is the frontman of New York, no-frills rock band Endless Boogie, which formed in 1997 in Brooklyn. While he’s known as an “underground rock and roller”, Paul is a pioneering record collector and his influence has been relatively unsung until now. In a new book titled, Feel the Music: The Psychedelic Worlds of Paul Major, published by Anthology Editions, readers are set to be taken on a wild ride that rectifies this, starting with his early days in the midwest of America, followed by his years spent in the New York punk scene, most notably as part of the metal band the Sorcerers.

Last week, Russian upstart turned fashion insider Gosha Rubchinskiy presented his latest collection in St. Petersburg, the city which birthed 80s and 90s Russian rave subculture. Russian creative platform INRUSSIA published a book accompanying the rave inspired show: a visual guide to the movement and it’s participants. Originally published by INRUSSIA is an essay from that book by UC Berkeley anthropology professor Alexei Yurchak. "Gagarin and the Rave Kids” leads us through the movement with painstaking detail.
