Playboi blog is always a great source of info on all things interesting.  Today I learned of a new issue of an e-zine I had not yet seen.  Hard to keep up with those guys.  Castle is a great visual feast and with forward thinking editorial direction. 

Another favorite e-zine is Destructed.info, also originating in Germany, but also with a completely international feel and focus.  I always find fresh, vibrant, loud, powerful and just great artists every time I scroll through the pages of either one of these publications.  Both are really worth checking out.

From PrintedMatter.org: 

Printed Matter, Inc. is the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of publications made by artists. Founded as a for-profit alternative arts space in 1976 by artists and artworkers, Printed Matter reincorporated in 1978 to become the independent non-profit organization that it is today. Originally situated in Tribeca, Printed Matter moved to SoHo in 1989 where for twelve years the book displays and artists’ projects in the large storefront windows contributed to the artistic and intellectual vibrancy of the neighborhood. In 2001 Printed Matter relocated to Chelsea, where it continued to foreground the book as an alternative venue - or artistic medium - for artists’ projects and ideas. Finally, in December of 2005 Printed Matter moved into a new storefront in Chelsea with big windows and greatly increased display and exhibition space. Recognized for years as an essential voice in the increasingly diversified art world conversations and debates, Printed Matter is dedicated to the examination and interrogation of the changing role of artists’ publications in the landscape of contemporary art.

As a special offer if anyone pre-orders before the release and sends me the receipt and book i’ll sign it.
