Media Kit 2021 MARFA is a look as much as a magazine; it is an intimate take on the current state of culture, instinctively blending together contemporary art, fashion and whatever else takes our fancy into an offbeat visual and editorial experience. Elevated but unexpected, our editorial pursuits take us to remarkable places - whether it be four men carrying Lana del Rey on a surfboard, Marc Jacobs chatting about his favourite memes with an Insta activist, Charlotte Gainsbourg teaching us the art of self-defence or Tracey Emin taking selfies from her hospital bed. Defined by its interviews, MARFA replaces the tra- ditional profile format with extended transcripts that capture the moment and truth of conversation. Natural and open, they show the arts’ greatest names in a new light. Nothing is as it should be. We partner pop with niche, old with new, the cere- bral with the relaxed, all in collaboration with the VIPs of the creative world – and all to create our inimitable MARFA aesthetic. 2 Anjelica Huston by Alexandra Gordienko “While other magazines are magazines, MARFA JOURNAL is popular culture on paper.” - Idea Books 3 Contributors and Collaborators Editor-in-Chief, Alexandra Gordienko, started MARFA JOURNAL in 2013 with a group of her Central Saint Martins classmates, and at its heart the magazine remains a collaborative venture. All are welcomed into our MARFAMILY - a community that continues to grow and include established and emerging photographers, artists and writers alongside dear friends. MARFA is connective; as much a diary of what inspires our contributors as it is an engaging, fresh and fluid creative project. 4 Chloe Sevigny by Brianna Capozzi Contributors and Collaborators Cover Stars Anjelica Huston Kirsten Dunst Ozzy Osbourne Willem Dafoe Lana Del Rey Stacy Martin Chloë Sevigny Charlotte Gainsbourg Anne Hathaway Larry Flynt Fashion Lindsey Wixson Johnny Dufort Marc Jacobs Alek Wek Andre Walker Harley Weir Natasha Poly Lily McMenamy Mark Borthwick Grace Hartzel Lara Stone Theo Wenner The Arts Matthew Barney Paul McCarthy Lynda Benglis Anthea Hamilton Paloma Varga Weisz Thaddeus Mosley Tracey Emin Maggie Nelson Larry Clark Gasper Noé Jenny Holzer William Wegman Urs Fischer Jeffrey Deitch Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker Harmony Korine 5 MARFRIENDS by Pascal Gambarte 6 «Lots of People who know each other» by Pascal Gambarte The Magazine Taking the form of a hardcover book, MARFA mixes polished and personal photography with intimate interviews across more than 250 pages.
