Magazine - Multi/Blue

TANK was founded in 1998 as a magazine that considered a whole range of cultural forms such as art, fashion, architecture and literature as interrelated fields that interact with and impact one another, as it is widely acknowledged. Our project has evolved much but our basic mission hasn’t changed even as the world has – this issue celebrates 25 years of putting the think in the tank. To mark the occasion, we have collaborated with the American artist Theaster Gates to curate 100 pages of our anniversary issue. Theaster has spent the past two decades creating continuous dialogues across art, fashion and culture, bridging the gap between cultural silos. Through discussions with friends, collaborators and fellow travellers Theaster illustrates – and celebrates – a practice built of cultural hybridity and interrelation.
