<i>Osmos Magazine</i> is "an art magazine about the use and abuse of photography," explains founder and editor Cay Sophie Rabinowitz (formerly of <i>Parkett</i> and <i>Fantom</i>). Nourishing contemporary perspectives in photography and the visual arts, and delivering a unique view with content divided into recurring thematic sections--some traditional, such as "Portfolio," "Stories" and "Reportage"--and others more idiosyncratic, such as "Eye of the Beholder," where gallerists discuss the talents they showcase&#x3b; and "Means to an End," about the side effects of nonartistic image production. Contributors to this issue include Michael St. John, Stuart Ringholt, Azadeh Akhlaghi and Sam Samore, with a vintage Bruce Mozert image on the cover.
