The Lab Mag, Volume 1 – Form

An exploration of the architecture of almost everything.

Find out how wonderful things are formed.

Explore the male form through the lens of Pink Narcissus, explore the female form in a lifetime of work by the iconic artist Penny Slinger. Dip into the libraries of Prince Stash de Klossowski & Leigh J McCloskey. Understand how artist Georgia Saxelby uses light and alchemy to transform solid form into shadows. Explore the Frankensteinian nature of writers as Ava Bellows finds form in words. Discover how artist Bruce McLean fills out a form, and how musician Daniel Blumberg loves the improvisation of free form jazz.

In our contents page, we tell you how our magazine is formed.

The front cover art is the delicious work Licking her Lips by Penny Slinger.

Penny Slinger is a feminist surrealist, who famously became her own muse. She has always been an original thinker and stands her ground as an icon of our times. “I make artworks to bring the inside out and the outside in. My life and art are a collage.”

Each Lab Mag issue is to be treasured as works of art, produced by artisans for a discerning audience who understand that the most radical thing today is to slow down and hold something real.
