EXHIBITION MAGAZINE . Lipstick Issue 14.2.2011

Created for and from within the luxury industry, each issue is dedicated to one specific object or product. This first issue focuses on the LIPSTICK. The theme is explored from multiple angles; as an object, as an idea, from a feminist point of view, industrially, politically, sensually, re- vealing, concealing, altering.

'The lipstick is a commercial object yet full of symbols and symbolism. It is iconic, timeless, intimate and gene- rates plenty of fantasies,' At the cross-section of luxu- ry, contemporary culture and art, EXHIBITION'S voca- tion is one that goes back to the very origin of magazines: to generate emotion, strong reactions, questions and debate. More particularly, it is conceived as an in-depth study into specific objects that we may easily pass over, or take as common aspects of our industry today.
