The rules of publishing are changing. Magazines are an art form unto themselves. They don’t have to be printed, or distributed, they don’t even have to be magazines at all. Artomatic has created CONTAINER, a magazine in concept if not in traditional execution. CONTAINER is a thematic collection of objects produced specially by contributors for that particular 'issue'. For the debut issue, Atromatic asked artists Nic Roope (Poke), James Bridle, Daniel Eatock, Accept and Proceed, among others, to create objects that dealt with the theme of 'hot and cold'.

Packed neatly within a styrofoam box are a variety of objects that deal with the theme both literally and abstractly, including set of cards between two acrylic panels, CDs of Madonna’s Frozen and Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats, a scarf, kindling and several other items. If a magazine deals with the nature and culture of objects and ideas, CONTAINER does so in a tangible and artful way.

CONTAINER #1:Hot&Cold will a limited edition of 200. It is available exclusively for purchase here on 2 July 2013.
