NIKE. A MANUAL FOR LIVING.
This is not a regular issue of A Magazine Curated By, where a fashion designer guest-edits the publication. It is a special edition — Curated For Nike — dedicated to Nike as a cultural, creative and intellectual ecosystem.
Across nearly 200 pages and the five chapters Mind, Body, Soul, Desire, and Imagination, it unfolds as a roadmap informed by the hybrid worlds of sports science, athlete mindset, and creative practice.
The issue asks a simple yet radical question: What if a brand wasn’t just making products, but shaping a way of living?
Less a magazine than an open field of ideas, it turns Nike’s internal design philosophy into an editorial experience — positioning design as a way to think, feel, move, and navigate the world.
As Art Director of A Magazine Curated By since 2019, this is exactly the editorial territory that continues to inspire me: where branding becomes cultural editing, and magazines become spaces for ideas rather than mere containers for content.

This is not a regular issue of A Magazine Curated By, where a fashion designer guest-edits the publication. It is a special edition — Curated For Nike — dedicated to Nike as a cultural, creative and intellectual ecosystem.
Across nearly 200 pages and the five chapters Mind, Body, Soul, Desire, and Imagination, it unfolds as a roadmap informed by the hybrid worlds of sports science, athlete mindset, and creative practice.
The issue asks a simple yet radical question: What if a brand wasn’t just making products, but shaping a way of living?
Less a magazine than an open field of ideas, it turns Nike’s internal design philosophy into an editorial experience — positioning design as a way to think, feel, move, and navigate the world.
As Art Director of A Magazine Curated By since 2019, this is exactly the editorial territory that continues to inspire me: where branding becomes cultural editing, and magazines become spaces for ideas rather than mere containers for content.

“The joy of authentic art, which so faithfully resembles real life” – the President of La Biennale di Venezia Pietrangelo Buttafuoco

IN MINOR KEYS. The exhibition by KOYO KOUOH. A reminder that the most relevant art today may not be about declaration, but about connection.
At the Italian Pavilion, what unfolded was less an exhibition than an atmosphere: a choreography of perspectives, cultures, and shared energies. Not a collection of positions, but a living conversation. Colour not as decoration, but as emotional language. Joy not as escapism, but as resistance. Authenticity not as aesthetic, but as presence.
What resonated most was the generosity of the concept: art as encounter, as exchange, as a temporary architecture for trust. A space where contemplation and celebration coexist. Where different worlds do not simply meet, but meaningfully converge.

In a time of increasing fragmentation, this felt like a rare and necessary proposition: humanity, expressed through imagination.

HELTER SKELTER is a study in power—who gets to take, rewrite, and weaponize culture.
Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince approach America from opposite ends of the same wound. Jafa’s work emerges from the lived reality, trauma, beauty, rage, and radical creative force of Black America—an America that built the country’s cultural language while being systematically brutalized by it. Prince inhabits a different territory: the pathology of white masculinity, desire, myth-making, and cultural consumption.
Together, the exhibition becomes darker than a dialogue. It becomes an autopsy.
Tracing an America shaped by slavery, spectacle, celebrity, violence, music, theft, and reinvention. Images lifted from cinema, tabloids, advertising, social media, pulp fiction, and the endless debris of popular culture are reassembled into something both seductive and deeply unsettling.

This is America as a cultural battlefield.

HELTER SKELTER is a study in power—who gets to take, rewrite, and weaponize culture.
Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince approach America from opposite ends of the same wound. Jafa’s work emerges from the lived reality, trauma, beauty, rage, and radical creative force of Black America—an America that built the country’s cultural language while being systematically brutalized by it. Prince inhabits a different territory: the pathology of white masculinity, desire, myth-making, and cultural consumption.

The Arsenale was not about statements. It was about frequencies. Not the major key of spectacle.
But the minor key of memory, grief, ritual, listening.
Sometimes the quietest works carry the deepest signal.

How does humanity survive in a world it has pushed to the edge of collapse?
Florentina Holzinger at the Austrian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2026.
With SEAWORLD VENICE, this is not an exhibition. It is a condition. An organism suspended between underwater world, infrastructure, and ritual. A space about water as resource, control system, and condition of life.
About the body as the site where power, vulnerability, and transformation unfold.
Holzinger is not imagining a future scenario.
She is articulating, with unsettling precision, where we already are.

Radical. Physical. Unavoidable.

Dreaming doesn’t help in times like these. 💭
Across the globe, the illusion of stability is cracking. Conflicts redefine borders and power. Climate realities outpace political cycles. AI is not the future—it’s already rewriting the present. Economies shift, faster than institutions can respond.
And Germany? 🇩🇪 A country of precision, stuck in hesitation. A reform backlog that has become a mindset. Too much administration, too little imagination. Digitalization discussed, not delivered (yet) Infrastructure maintained, not reinvented. Energy policy reactive, not visionary.
What’s needed now is friction. A willingness to think beyond systems that were built for a different century.
Not louder. Clearer. Not faster. Smarter.
Not more of the same—something else entirely.

What’s needed now is friction. A willingness to think beyond systems that were built for a different century.
Not louder. Clearer. Not faster. Smarter.
Not more of the same—something else entirely.

Redesign of ICON
The monthly supplement of Welt am Sonntag

When I think of luxury today, I do not think first of possessions. I think of time, of calm, of health, of the freedom not to have to respond to everything immediately. Of an evening with good friends, of good food, of a good conversation. Of that rare feeling of being fully at one with oneself.
We live in a time when everything is accelerating. Artificial intelligence is changing our everyday lives, our work, and the way we see the world. That is fascinating. But it also makes something else all the more valuable: discernment, attitude, curation. The human ability to give things meaning.
This is precisely where icon. begins for me. Not as a retreat, but as a countermodel. As a medium operating at a different pace. One that creates space for attention, sensuality, and genuine seeing. The new look of icon. follows exactly this idea: clear, calm, precise — and open to tension, contrast, and the present moment.
The name, too, carries this idea within it: icon. in lowercase. With a period at the end. A small pause in the middle of the word. For some, that is merely typography. For me, it is also a gesture. Perhaps even a form of humility. A reminder that cultural relevance today does not arise from volume, but from precision. That the small often requires more self-confidence than the large. And that a magazine need not constantly claim to be iconic. It may instead create the conditions in which something acquires meaning, if only for a moment.
Perhaps true luxury today is no longer the loudest thing, but the most carefully considered. Not the most conspicuous, but that which endures.

The monthly supplement of Welt am Sonntag

When I think of luxury today, I do not think first of possessions. I think of time, of calm, of health, of the freedom not to have to respond to everything immediately. Of an evening with good friends, of good food, of a good conversation. Of that rare feeling of being fully at one with oneself.
We live in a time when everything is accelerating. Artificial intelligence is changing our everyday lives, our work, and the way we see the world. That is fascinating. But it also makes something else all the more valuable: discernment, attitude, curation. The human ability to give things meaning.
This is precisely where icon. begins for me. Not as a retreat, but as a countermodel. As a medium operating at a different pace. One that creates space for attention, sensuality, and genuine seeing. The new look of icon. follows exactly this idea: clear, calm, precise — and open to tension, contrast, and the present moment.
The name, too, carries this idea within it: icon. in lowercase. With a period at the end. A small pause in the middle of the word. For some, that is merely typography. For me, it is also a gesture. Perhaps even a form of humility. A reminder that cultural relevance today does not arise from volume, but from precision. That the small often requires more self-confidence than the large. And that a magazine need not constantly claim to be iconic. It may instead create the conditions in which something acquires meaning, if only for a moment.
Perhaps true luxury today is no longer the loudest thing, but the most carefully considered. Not the most conspicuous, but that which endures.

Mike Meiré describes his work as a continued investigation into everyday objects.⁠
⁠
Central to all of Meiré’s work is a delicate interplay between highly refined and mundane everyday materials. Working gloves, buckets, slabs, daily newspapers, car tires, sub-groups from the globalized world of goods, the determination of which the artist calls into consciousness precisely through their recontextualization. The surface of this artwork appears fluid and reflective, as if molten metal had been frozen in motion. It shifts between painting and object, capturing light and distortion in a way that feels both industrial and strangely organic.⁠
⁠
Within Meiré’s continuing work as a creative director, he has, for many years, navigated and, in some cases, deliberately trespassed the borders between Branding, Design, and Fine Art. Since 1999, Mike Meiré has been working as Art Director.⁠

The beginning is always marked by experimentation, creation, sheer willpower. You don’t think about consequences. Your mind is wild. You feel the pulse of anarchy, which slowly becomes a language.

From the very beginning, the 032c Design was driven by questioning norms and constantly pushing ourselves to our limits.

When I did the redesign for 032c in 2007, it was a leap into the unknown. What later became known as “The New Ugly” was never a style or a trend for us, but a choice: for friction, danger, and attitude.

There is a certain magic inherent in every beginning—and a certain blues in every ending.
But ending something is also a moment to reflect: to look again at what one has done, and what it has made possible. Magazines, like life, move in chapters—each with its highs and lows, its strengths and its blind spots. To live through all of this consciously is how memory is created.

After twenty years, my chapter as Art Director of 032c comes to an end.

I’m grateful to Joerg Koch for his trust, courage, and persistence. And I thank Tim Giesen, my companion on this journey, for all the nights, weekends, and the uncompromising commitment.
032c remains a part of my life. Now it’s time for a new chapter.
