In this increasingly digital age, the impact and importance of the printed word and image remains as strong as ever. This edition of Dream The End is a ode to all of the out of print magazines that, across all genres, were bold, audacious, beautiful, iconic, witty, and trailblazing. Ranging from the snippets of American life and pop culture featured Life or Smash Hits to the scandalous and beautifully designed Eros, or from the even more poignant satire of Spy to the fashion forward vision of Dutch, the magazines featured in this edition had a vision and a voice that is worthy of celebration.

Stephan Breuer is a Paris based conceptual artist. His works are based at the intersection of science, philosophy and religion; in his artistic language, every space, architecture, object, behavior, and vibration is a signal, a semiotic resource. He has collaborated with architects, engineers, designers, and fellow artists to realize his works. Look out for Breuer's upcoming exhibition "Ultra Light" at the Palais Royal in Paris, France. Cloud Theory is inspired by the dreams, magic, and wonder that can be drawn from the sky overhead.

So dry your tears, babe, you ain't no tool,
And enjoy this most magisterial of editions--

An uncharted land not governed by rules: each work determines its own medium and form according to its needs. The concept itself is better understood by what it is not, rather than what it is. Approaching it, we are pioneers again, and shall continue to be so as long as there’s plenty of elbow room and no neighbors around for miles.
