Arkitip has released their latest issue, No. 49, on which they worked with Peter Saville.
Arkitip No. 0049 will be a virtual catalog of Peter’s work including essays from Saville’s colleagues throughout his career. It will also include two original prints from the designer in an edition of 1500. The prints will be 12 x 12 inches on 100 lb. archival stock and will sit on top of the magazine inside a custom designed box carefully encasing the magazine and prints.
There are two sets, individually going for 50 USD and together you can have them for 75 USD. Take a look at the packaging after the jump.
In 2005, Peter Saville began to play with the notion that in the current climate of mass culture, display meant as much to the idea of art as the object of art. His response to this has been to create a series of card board plinths, available to the public, so the everyday punter can choose what they believe is art. “Accessories to An Artwork,” Saville’s newest exhibition at Paul Stolper Gallery in London takes this premise. Saville picks the objects to sit on his plinths, including work by Hans Ulrich and Jarvis Cocker. Not necessarily the most inspired activity of Saville’s career.
