With temperatures soaring 032c's title is apt for the Australian summer and so is its content if you want something more inspiring than a Sodoku puzzle to pass the time.
They have been doing what they do for a while so you can rest assured that the content of Issue 12 is finely tuned. Varied but carefully contructed, well-written articles are complimented by exact imagery. With his recent 60th birthday, the feature on Bowie in Berlin is timely, and the rogue architecture of Raumlabor - whose use of bubbles put bubble-boy David Vetter to shame - is fascinating. Some other snap-shots include NYC punk-duo Japanther and myth-making artist Terence Koh whose fictionalised work has been well received by other artists from A.A Bronson, Larry Clark to Bruce LaBruce*.
Acclaimed author Thomas Pynchon (Crying Lot Of 49) has contributed a short-story to bend your mind and other contributors such as Juergen Teller, who shot the cover of French actress Amira Casar, give 032c a quality that extends far beyond the magazine rack. One of 032c's catch-cries is finding the new in the old, and the old in the new and when so many great things get lost in the clutter this is definitely something that we can believe in.
* Bruce LaBruce will be exhibiting as part of the The Brotherhood Exhibition at Neon Parc. - For more details see LOOK.
