Kult raises FL.ag profile
Health as art
Published: Jul 17, 2008
Singapore - Kult's senior art director Steve Lawler has conceptualised, curated and designed the latest issue of FL.ag magazine which positions itself itself as Singapore's only "underground" free independent magazine.
The design-focused magazine launched in 2005 covering the latest global trends in fashion, music and design.
Based on the theme "Health", 40 artists and designers were picked to showcase different viewpoints on the topic and develop visual-focused work. Artists included Singapore's Jing, as well as Australia's Jeremyville, and Jon Burgerman from the UK.
"The issue of health affects us all, either directly or indirectly. I wanted to get a global perspective on the topic, a cross section of ideas and approaches. The works do not rely on language to communicate, instead they are developing a new language with images that can cross language and cultural barriers," Lawler said.
