Kennedy Magazine | Issue Three | Athens (GRE) | By Lee Fleming

Yesterday saw the launch of Kennedy Magazine's latest issue at London's Tender Books on Cecil Court. A Biannual Journal of Curiosities, Advert free Kennedy Magazine was co-founded by Athens-based photographer Chris Kontos and graphic designer Angelo Pandelidis because the duo wanted to create "a journal about the people and places we love”. Curated by Kontos, Issue three continues to blend the magazine's well judged balance of interviews, photographic essays, creative writing, fashion and style sections. Featured content includes Lawrence Weiner, Gary Panter, Chris Olberding of Gitman Vintage, Several;, Our Legacy, Nozaki, Jonathan Brown of Leadapron plus.

Easily recognisable by its striking British racing green, the magazine's aesthetic is overseen by David McFarline and Christopher Moorby of London-based Commission Studio. Kennedy magazine's charm goes beyond its consistent simplicity and good design, but more so its order of content which is both respectful and gives the title a modest sense of rhythm.

Hole & Corner Magazine | Des Pawson | London (UK) | By Lee Fleming

Recently on Hole & Corner Magazine is this feature on researcher and historian Des Pawson, who founded the Museum of Knots and Sailors’ Ropes. The insightful feature highlights how Des Pawson became obsessed with ropes and documents his passion alongside the tools Pawson has gathered over 60 years.

"Pawson first became interested in ropes when he was seven years old, and an uncle gave him a book for boy scouts about knots. He wasn’t in the scouts, but he was into the knots, and he didn’t look back."

Having given up full-time work in 1989 to concentrate on his rope business which he does alongside his wife Liz, Pawson opened his Museum of Knots and Sailors’ Ropes in 1996. The photography that accompanies the Hole and Corner Magazine feature is by British photographer Luke Stephenson.
