'Just the ticket. Since 1988' As Wikipedia dutifully points out, this publication is ‘not to be confused with Tank, the magazine of the Royal Tank Regiment.’ If it's contemporary culture, fashion, art, architecture, technology and politics you're looking for, this would certainly be the version to go for. Tank has taken many forms and continues to carve a distinctive niche in a crowded genre. Of late, issues have arrived hand-covered in stickers (with more to be found inside). This is the Autumn 2023 edition celebrating 25 years of Tank: 'To mark the occasion, we have collaborated with the American artist Theaster Gates to curate 100 pages of our anniversary issue. Theaster has spent the past two decades creating continuous dialogues across art, fashion and culture, bridging the gap between cultural silos. Through discussions with friends, collaborators and fellow travellers Theaster illustrates – and celebrates – a practice built of cultural hybridity and interrelation.' On the Journal:‘I am not sure if we are academically rigorous. We don’t aim to be academic, we mean to approach fashion as a serious topic in and amongst other serious and interesting ideas. I guess the form of address implies a reader of a certain discernment, education and intellectual aspiration.’ – Masoud Golsorkhi Read more tankmagazine.com
