Continued on page 3 The Challenge Facing Amy Astley at Architectural Digest Can the new EIC implement change while maintaining AD's prestige? When Margaret Russell succeeded Paige Rense as Architectural Digest editor-in-chief nearly six years ago, the former Elle Decor EIC filled the alleged communication void with the business side and helped make the AD 100 top designers (January) and the Design Show (March) into well-attended events without compromising editorial integrity. With Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Amy Astley moving intra-Condé Nast to succeed Russell on May 19, the reason behind Russell's ouster is less clear. Was it due to her lack of "digital chops," as Women's Wear Daily speculated? What the move does do is enhance the authority of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour in her dual capacity as CN artistic director. Astley first worked for Wintour at House & Garden in 1988 before joining her as Vogue beauty director in 1993 before launching Teen Vogue a decade later. The CN announcement cited Astley's experience as "de facto personal interior stylist" for the late CN editorial director Alexander Liberman as an asset that she will bring to AD. But will that earn Astley the respect of the design community that Russell clearly had? Astley's challenge is similar to that of Allure EIC Michelle Lee, who replaced founding EIC Linda Wells last November. Bernie and the Beasts Sanders, two wolves, and Stefani topped the January readership charts. From Bernie to Blake, from critters to Cosby. A variety of images adorned the covers of the top indexing print-magazine titles in January, as measured by GfK MRI's Issue Specific (IS) Readership Study.

  • Untroubled Irving Penn Works from the Pinault
    Untroubled Irving Penn Works from the Pinault Collection 17 January - 28 April 2019 opening on January 16, 5 - 9 PM Curated by Matthieu Humery At Mina Image Centre In collaboration with the Pinault Collection Sponsored by: Banque Libano-Française On January 16, 2019 Mina Image centre will be launching its first exhibition “Untroubled” curated by Matthieu Humery and dedicated to one of the major photographers in the 20th century, Irving Penn, whose work will show for the first time in the Arab World. The exhibition will run till April 28, 2019. A press conference will be held at Mina Image Centre on Tuesday, January 15th at 11:00 a.m. The Curator of the exhibition Matthieu Humery and Mina's director Manal Khader will be available to answer all your questions. “Untroubled” draws from “Resonance”, an exhibition organized by the Pinault Collection at Palazzo Grassi in Venice in 2014, and includes 50 images combining platinum prints, gelatin silver prints, dye transfer prints. The show is not a retrospective and does not follow a chronological order, but aims to underline the development of styles, interests and techniques used by Irving Penn by focusing on the main themes tackled by the artist during his entire career: Small Trades, Corner Portraits, Still Life, Hands of Miles Davis, Icons, Decomposition, Vanities/ Memento Mori, Cranium Architecture, World Societies, thereby revealing the diversity in Irving Penn’s work, which is in itself an invaluable legacy to the world of photography. Penn subjects appear at first glance to be quite disparate: celebrities (Pablo Picasso, Alfred Hitchcock, Salvador Dali, Georgia O’Keeffe…), skulls, and cigarette butts… But to Penn, “It is all one thing”.

LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms.
