Marfamily – Issue 5

Marfamily Issue 5 is available now at LOREM (not Ipsum). For its fifth issue, MARFAMILY has seen the future… looking beyond the veil to see how the past has formed what will be – progress isn’t always productive!

Gifted with the art of precognition, MARFAMILY #5 takes the form of an abstract prophecy which is both physically and mentally recyclable. Its convoluted narrative arc sweeps from the 15th century invention of the printing press to a fictional apocalypse in the near-future, wrought by man’s environmental inaction.

MARFAMILY #5 sees the return of some MARFAVOURITE ladies – after all, recycling ideas is good for the soul. Brief vignettes featuring Lara Stone, Olympia Campbell, Helena Severin, Jess Cole, and the in-house Supermodel Lily McMenamy grace its esteemed pages. All this alongside fresh, shiny and new content to warm your heart, including conversations with actress Stacy Martin, artists Peter Halley and Lois Dodd, the female Imam Seyran Ateş, and many others.

To immerse yourself in an edition of MARFAMILY is to open your mind up to a state of cultural ecstasy. You should always be sceptical of those that offer up unsolicited advice, but we urge you to let the MARFAMILY message into your life.

Marfamily is created by Alexandra Gordienko and a tight circle of her friends whilst still at Central Saint Martins in 2013 – Marfamily is a collaborative project, presenting an intimate take on the current state of culture. It blends various disciplines of contemporary arts into the format of a hardcover book. Marfamily offers intimate conversation with artists from all around the world like Michael Dean, Urs Fischer, Paloma Varga Weisz, Jenny Holzer, Nate Lowman, Lizzie Fitch / Ryan Trecartin, Jeffrey Deitch, Adam McEwen, Lynda Benglis, Enzo Cucchi, Nicole Wermers, Agathe Snow, Richard Mosse – we even talked to Harmony Korine’s whilst swimming in the pool of his home in Miami. The VIPs of the creative world from Anjelica Huston, Ozzy Osbourne, Lana Del Rey, Chloe Sevigny, Anne Hathaway, Kirstn Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg and even Larry Flynt have memorably graced its covers. List does’t stop with the VIPs – Marfamily model division includes Lindsey Wixson, Gemma Ward, Natasha Poly, Lexi Boling, Catherine McNeil and many more. The biannual title is crafting itself a multi-faceted profile with public events and branded t-shirts that are true to the zeitgeist spirit of the magazine. Marfamily physical edition mixes raw and personal photography with intimate interviews and extends across 300+ pages.
