Philosophy

Philosophy Magazine - Winter-Spring 2018

With today’s cultural and political circumstances, it’s impossible to not have an opinion. We have one and we are keen to share it on the pages of Philosophy. Based out of Budapest, created by a small community of friends, we work on providing opportunities to inspiring artists and fashion professionals, fine artists, and writers, to present an in-depth observation of current happenings in fashion, art, politics and music and to join the creative flow across London, Paris, Budapest and Tokyo.

Philosophy is a biannual book-zine published in English, - each issue focusing on a fine-tuning specific topic and reflecting on the matrix of cultural capital.

This time we decided to discuss self-establishment. What does it take to govern yourself in a World ruled by systems? After 8 months of interviewing, photographing and investigating the creative industry, here is what we came up with:

Self-publish        

Not to call it a career, but call it your life’s work

Break rules, but not just for the sake of it

Challenge the meaning of  an “art institute”

Not to show your work in your own gallery

Put every part of yourself out in the World and then defend it

Play polish folk music at the Barbican

Reorganize chaos

Borrow your dad’s Rubik's Cube

Create a humanitarian organisation

Sell your own prints

Then use all that money to build schools

Shoot something that’s not commissioned

Take your family on a vacation and make a book out of it

Climb your sacred mountain

Not to be a good therapist

Cure depression with MDMA

Not to care what is “normal”

This issue includes the works of Andrew D. Wagner, Veronika Molnar, Peter Scott, Alessandro Merlo, felicita, Dominic Osbourne, Balazs Mate, Erno Rubik, Bruno B Feder, Maxwell Conrad Granger, Jake Bisley, Neil Drabble, Orsolya Luca, Dora Limfer, Robert Bereznyei and Andrew Feldmar.
