MUSHROOMS & FRIENDS 4 features still lifes of Ganoderma mushrooms cultivated by the artist Phyllis Ma. The production of this issue was a true test of patience, as the growth of mushrooms cannot be rushed. What emerged was a foray into the science and cultural history of Ganoderma - a vast topic that could easily become a lifelong study. Ganoderma is a genus of white rot fungi that parasitizes living or dead hardwood trees. As of recent years, 181 Ganoderma species have been taxonomically accepted. Though their texture appears woodlike and inert, these fungi are remarkably sensitive to environmental factors such as light, humidity, temperature and oxygen levels. By carefully manipulating growing conditions, it is possible to "sculpt" the growth of Ganoderma. Through the fruiting process for this project, conducted in a small home lab, some specimens sprouted marshmallow-tipped antlers, while others formed fan-like conks with porous undersides. Still others, responding to the constraints of the indoor setup, developed beautifully grotesque morphologies that might be mistaken for contamination. Inspired by the contemporary practice of Ganoderma bonsai in China, a few mushrooms were also cultivated inside ostrich and emu eggs. The growth of saprophytic mushrooms within eggs hint at the interconnected cycles of life and death. Though fungi like Ganoderma act as agents of decay, they are equally essential to life by breaking down organic matter into digestible nutrients for plants, animals and other organisms.

In Meta Cars, Beni Bischof transforms found images of cars into visual distortions. Through digital manipulation and radical simplification, the original shapes are abstracted – reduced to ghostly and ridiculous silhouettes that feel both familiar and alien. The result: automotive hybrids with an almost hypnotic pull. Drawing on the aesthetics of American muscle cars and the TV shows of the 1980s and '90s, Bischof taps into a retro sense of coolness – reframing it for the digital age with irony, intensity, and unsettling beauty.

The 49th issue of the critical graphic design journal is about Lawrence Weiner and his relationship with typography, titled We Are Ships at Sea, Not Ducks On a Pond and written by Joris Kritis. Its glossy, full-colour pages honor Weiner's use of graphic design, which has always in turn fascinated graphic designers. What makes Weiner's work seductive is his resolutely non-apologetic method of displaying words without need for any explanation. A comparative analysis is made of different voices about Weiner's use of graphics and typography. Next to a speculative history of Weiner's formal language, two interviews with graphic designer Linda Van Deursen and artist Nora Turato discuss Weiner's enduring legacy.

Published on the occasion of Christopher Wool: See Stop Run at 101 Greenwich Street, New York. Organized by the artist with curator Anne Pontégnie, the survey exhibition was presented on the unoccupied nineteenth floor of a building in Manhattan's Financial District in spring and summer 2024 and drew more than 12,500 visitors. Featuring seventy-five works by Wool from the past decade, it employed the vacant 18,000-square-foot space, and the cityscape beyond, to contextualize and extend the artist's aesthetic. Taking the form of an expanded artist's book, the catalogue gathers nearly three hundred candid and evocative color and black-and-white photographs of the installation taken by dozens of artists, friends, and Instagram users to reflect on the ways in which exhibitions are now documented and their contents reproduced and disseminated. It also includes an extensive interview between Wool and Pontégnie that situates the project within the artist's three-decades-long use of photography and installation.

When the forest of Notre-Dame caught fire, Lola Raban-Oliva and Jean René Etienne were at home, just two kilometers away. Each had their own camera, their own zoom lens. From their window, it became almost possible to imagine the perspective of birds. It was no longer Notre-Dame burning, nor even a cathedral. Not a fire, but a vast disruption of the aerial space. A thick, blazing, chaotic convective column rose above the heart of Paris. Les oiseaux brings together 97 screenshots taken from the footage they captured that evening.

In 1978 and 1979, David Wojnarowicz took a series of photographs of a man wearing a paper mask bearing the visage of Arthur Rimbaud, the French poet equally known for his fervid verse and dramatic life. Rimbaud was the instantiation, and perhaps the inventor, of the idea of the young gay hustler of genius. This volume features an introductory essay by Antonio Sergio Bessa contextualizing the series within a foundation of other works across literature, photography and performance. Nicholas Martin explores Wojnarowicz's practice in the context of the rise of the punk movement in downtown Manhattan in the late 1970s. Craig Dworkin explores Rimbaud's years as a runaway youth in Paris during the Commune. Includes an interview with photographer Allen Frame. Features 150 color images.

"Rythm Mastr" is a comic series created by Kerry James Marshall, developed from 1999 to the present in response to the historical absence of black characters in comics. Set in the community surrounding Marshall's Chicago studio, the narrative is rooted in reality but incorporates elements of fantasy, created using India ink drawings. The series debuted at the 1999/2000 Carnegie International, published as single illustrated panels in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's magazine for eight weeks. Marshall papered the Carnegie Museum's display windows with 20 segments printed on newsprint and installed it in the museum's Treasure Room to explore how value is assigned to objects. Copies were distributed to the public for a nominal fee to ensure wide access. The story features an old man named Rythm Mastr and his young protégé, Farell. Meeting in a museum of ancient Egyptian art, Rythm Mastr teaches Farell traditional African drumming that brings ancient African and Egyptian statues to life. These animated statues possess superhuman powers derived from the seven gods of the Yoruba pantheon. The narrative addresses contemporary issues, including the spike in violence in 1990s Chicago and the demolition of high-rise public housing on the city's South Side. Over the years, the series has evolved through various formats. In 2003, it was featured as a daily comic strip in "One True Thing: Meditations on a Black Aesthetics" at MCA Chicago. In 2008, it was presented at the Wexner Center at Ohio State University with puppets inspired by traditional Japanese Bunraku puppetry, including live performances with jazz drummer Kahil El'Zabar. The series appeared in Issue 14 of Esopus magazine in 2010. From 2015 to 2017, it was included in light-box displays in "Mastry," Marshall's 30-year retrospective, and inspired "Above the Line," a hand-painted mural on New York's High Line from 2015 to 2016. Marshall's work was influenced by The Black Panther comic he encountered at ten years old. His goal was to create black superheroes in a context where they matter, with a Homeric epic structure achieving cultural impact similar to Star Wars. His long-term ambition is to diversify the art historical canon with more images of black people in museums. Marshall envisions the series as a graphic novel and feature animated film. This comprehensive volume, edited by Michele Robecchi (Rizzoli Electa, 2025), represents the most complete documentation of the character, its genesis, and evolution over two decades, featuring Marshall's sophisticated debates about history, philosophy, and politics in vernacular Black English, creating an empowering blend of science fiction and Afrofuturism.
