New Destinations

New Destinations

It’s hard to grasp the state of world. There is a macro level of events, which operate on such a vast scale, it seems beyond our control and this creates a universal sensation of powerlessness. However, there is the micro level, and this unfolds with the individual. Desensitisation is the new normal and the realities of internet culture have changed the way that humanity relates to one another, as well as the environment around us. The consistent question remains: where do we go from here?

Aesthetica is a destination for readers. Based upon the ethos that a magazine should be an experience, bi-monthly issues offer intelligent, beautiful and informative coverage on international exhibitions and events, creating dialogues between visual arts and culture, whilst holding up a mirror to society.

Bringing together the best in contemporary photography, each issue offers seven image features that offer new perspectives in a variety of genres, from fashion and advertising, to fine art and documentary. Alongside these are four art features that delve into the very substance of Architecture, Fashion, Design and Contemporary Visual Arts, as well as up-to-date news and reviews pieces designed for our evolving readership. Each magazine is curated as a journey through ideas, presenting creativity as an individual, physical and psychological phenomenon.

Covering both established and emerging artists, each practitioner featured in the magazine contributes to a larger conversation about making sense of the world as it exists in this new, unprecedented contemporary condition. From Stephen Shore, Michael Wolf and Joel Meyerowitz to Jimmy Marble, JUCO and Cig Harvey, each issue responds to the changing notion of what it means to exist in the present-day, with visual arts expanding into limitless realms of expression, imagination and innovation.
