- A bit about
Threaded Magazine readers are passionate about the expanding field of creative practices. This well-designed publication nurtures the creative spark within us all and attracts readers within the wider design and visual arts community; trend-setters, design agency’s, the printing industry, art galleries and educational design and visual art institutions.
Many are at the helm of practice, ready to celebrate and experience a wider array of design led innovations and creative approaches. Whilst others may find their business drivers intersecting with design opportunities and challenges therefore attracting them to a magazine that offers insights into contemporary practice.
A theme is developed for each edition of Threaded Magazine – previous issues include; hope and glory, for the love of it, method in the madness and arrivals and departures. The magazine launched in Australia with Ed.7 and received a bronze award at the BeST Design Awards last year which is testimony to the caliber of the magazine.
Threaded's latest release - Edition 8 is ‘the home front’ issue, which maps and values the experience of looking in, before looking out and challenges us to consider the nature of our ‘uniqueness’ whilst recognising the multitude of external factors that influence, challenge and connect the home front. Threaded Edition 8 is a call to make visible the creative geography of ‘the Antipodes and the contemporary Antipodean’, and instates the mantra that we are here because we want to be here.
- Big Idea
Threaded is strongly premised on the notion of creative practitioners being both speculative and reflective. Side-by-side, page-to-page, artists and designers exhibit, are profiled, display their artwork, whilst critically reflecting on the nature of practice through interview, review, discussion, articles, and so on. Collaborators are encouraged to exploit critical conventions and practitioners profiled present themselves, as they want to be seen. Often the designer/ artist is positioned as both - Interviewer and interviewee, encouraging an open-ended dialogue between participants.
From the outset, Threaded has been committed to enriching a discourse between education and its relationship with the wider creative community. ‘Exhibition Alley’ is designed to bridge the gap between education and best practice. Identifying practice as the main template, each edition continues to profile ten students or recent graduates from the sector. These are selected from portfolio submissions, accompanied by a position statement that contextualises their interests and concepts.
