Description
A copy of PIN-UP Magazine, Issue 29, Fall/Winter 2020-2021, a special issue on the 2021 Museum of Modern Art exhibition “Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America.” The magazine has a bright blue cover and the interior edge has a zig-zag cut to the pages. Along the top margin is large black text that reads "PIN - UP." Centered under it is smaller text that reads "Magazine for / Architectural / Entertainment." Below the text are two rows of color portraits of the artists and architects from the Reconstructions exhibit, photographed by David Hartt. The rectangular portraits are arranged in a staggered pattern from the outside edges and narrowing to a point at the right-hand side, where there is a barcode. In the bottom right-hand corner is black text that reads "RECONSTRUCTIONS SPECIAL / BY DAVID HARTT."
There are 194 pages, including a special sixteen (16) page insert on the Reconstructions exhibition. The special section features interviews by David Hartt with architects, designers, and artists comprising the Black Reconstruction Collective (BRC): Emanuel Admassu, Germane Barnes, Sekou Cooke, J. Yolande Daniels, Felecia Davis, Mario Gooden, Walter Hood, Olalekan Jeyifous, V. Mitch McEwen, and Amanda Williams. The BRC’s “Manifesting Statement” is also printed in the special section. Other contents in the issue include activist graphic language selections from Jerome Harris, Paola Antonelli on revolutionary new materials, David Fortin on decolonizing design, Philippe Malouin’s bold new design moves, BIPOC Studios classifieds by Dong-Ping Wong, Gregory Ketant on Quantum Architecture, a tribute to the late great legend Nanda Vigo; the urban interventions of Hong Kong protesters, and Camille Okhio on the curse of Versailles. The back cover features an advertisement for Hermès.
