GENER8ION–ZINE–001

Surkin announces the release of GENER8ION–ZINE–001, the first issue of a visual magazine that launches its new project GENER8ION.

This magazine is the stepping stone of a global multimedia project by Surkin  that will feature many international artists and try to blur the lines of formats in the ever evolving pop music world. Music record, videos, magazines, design pieces : GENER8ION is an absurd, grandiose and impertinent answer to the chaotic world we are evolving in.

GENER8ION–ZINE is “an optimistic publication in an apocalyptic world “according to Surkin and “a good occasion to reunite all of my friends and obsessions – past, present and future.” The design of this first copy, designed by Timothy Luke plays with futuristic codes : “We thought it was interesting to play with this on print. There is a contradiction at the core of it that fits well with our generation ambivalences. Both hopeless and romantic, pessimist and optimist, nostalgic and hyper connected.”

This issue features exclusive contributions by Alyx’s creative director Matthew Williams, American graphic designer Zak Kyes, Japanese photographer Keizo Kitajima, stylist Marie- Amélie Sauvé, American designer Collin Fletcher, Japanese artist Shohei Otomo and french music collective Edition Gravats.
