Kurt Cobain would have turned 45 today. As William S. Burroughs shows in these photos, staying power in the realm of talent and fame is highly underrated.

Dutch photographer Isabella Rozendaal’s images of sportsmen in Europe, America and Africa portray hunting as it really happens. There’s a fondness in these images that belies an honest curiosity at an ancient way of life that has somehow grown so alien.

Graphic, playful, stoic and nostalgic all at once, the lack of judgement is what drew me to Isabella’s work. Hunting has been disparaged for so long as something cruel and barbaric, it’s nice to see an artist taking a good long look at its roots. Unless you’re a vegetarian, you might want to think about doing the same.

Look for a book on this body of work sometime in the next few years. Good things come to those who wait, and it’s great to see a photographer taking time to develop a project like this.

Waking up to find out that you have work at MoMA isn’t the worst way to start a day. RRR, a zine I’m honored to contribute to regularly, is currently featured in the Millennium Magazines show, through May 14.

This survey of experimental art and design magazines published since 2000 explores the various ways in which contemporary artists and designers utilize the magazine format as an experimental space for the presentation of artworks and text. Throughout the 20th century, international avant-garde activities in the visual arts and design were often codified first in the informal context of a magazine or journal. This exhibition, drawn from the holdings of the MoMA Library, follows the practice into the 21st century. The works on view represent a broad array of international titles within this genre, from community-building newspapers to image-only photography magazines to conceptual design projects. The contents illustrate a diverse range of image-making, editing, design, printing, and distribution practices. There are obvious connections to the past lineage of artists’ magazines and little architecture and design magazines of the 20th century, as well as a clear sense of the application of new techniques of image-editing and printing methods. Assembled together, these contemporary magazines provide a first-hand view into these practices and represents the MoMA Library’s sustained effort to document and collect this medium.

Huge thanks to the always-inspiring man behind RRR, Scott Massey, for including me in the adventure.
