The magazine

“(meditating) On Art”, the magazine

Some magazines are read on the metro and left on the seat. This one is made for the bedside table, the bath, and the slow end of a Sunday.

"(meditating) On Art" is a seasonal magazine about art and the quiet it can bring, written and laid out by me in Paris, printed and bound, in English and French side by side.

Inside an issue

About forty pages, in columns that come back every season:

  • Editorial: a short essay that opens the issue.
  • Slow Art: one work of art as a practice, to look at, to feel, sometimes to move with.
  • Cursus: my own art-history self-study, with what to read and see next.
  • Nourishing the Soul: books, opera, music, places and recipes around the issue's theme.
  • Sitting With: a conversation with a person or a place.
  • Correspondence: the month's letter, and your messages answered.
  • Planner: a month of prompts and small meditations, with pages to write on.

Issue 01

The first issue arrives in January 2027. It opens on silence, and its Slow Art pages sit with the Venus de Milo.

Why print

A screen asks you to keep scrolling. A page lets you stay. The magazine is printed and bound to live on your shelf, to be written in, lent to a friend, and found again next winter.
