Date
14 July 2011

Featuring George Lois as our cover star, interviews with Lawrence Weiner and Asger Carlsen, essays by BAFTA-award-winning animator Mikey Please and publisher David Bennewith, and a Keith Haring profile by writer Lucia Davies (as well as a whole load of other features, interviews and articles), we’re extremely excited to launch It’s Nice That #6, our biggest issue yet. Also, it’s pink…

The magazine is available now from our online shop for £10, as well as in a number of stockists worldwide. And there is still time to subscribe to It’s Nice That, which entitles you to an exclusive Andy Rementer artwork, free of charge!

Interviews (50 Pages)

Issue #6 features a number of exciting interviews kicking off with the legend that is George Lois; the father of conceptual art Lawrence Weiner; Danish photographic manipulator Asger Carlsen; and east London-based gallerist Kate MacGarry. We also played humble witness to a conversation between designer Martino Gamper and artist Francis Upritchard.
