Jaime Hayón Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon was born in Madrid in 1974.
As a teenager, he submerged himself in skateboard culture and graffiti art, the foundation of the detailed, bold-yet-whimsical imagery so imminent in his work today. After studying industrial design in Madrid and Paris he joined Fabrica in 1997, the Benetton-funded design and communication academy, working closely with the legendary image-maker and agitator Oliverio Toscani. In a short time he was promoted from student to head of their Design Department, where he oversaw projects ranging from shop, restaurant and exhibition conception and design to graphics.
Eight years later, Jaime broke out on his own, first with collections of designer toys, ceramics and furniture, followed by interior design and installation. His singular vision was first fully exposed in ‘Mediterranean Digital Baroque’ at London’s David Gill Gallery, an exciting mise en scène, largely executed in ceramic, followed by ‘Mon Cirque’, which traveled to Frankfurt, Barcelona, Paris and Kuala Lumpur. These collections put Jaime at the forefront a new wave of creators that blurred the lines between art, decoration and design and a renaissance in finely-crafted, intricate objects within the context of contemporary design culture.

Sculpture Review's
Since SCULPTURE REVIEW'S inception as the voice of the NATIONAL SCULPTURE SOCIETY in 1951, the magazine has been dedicated to the advancement, development and the appreciation of figurative sculpture.
Our objective is to show the various ways in which sculptors worldwide and throughout time have struggled to represent the form. We are committed to exploring the excellence of traditional figurative art as well as the investigation of the limits of classical / traditional rendering. To this end, we venture into the many different expressions of the figure, including folk, tribal and the modern.
In giving voice to all forms of expression in figurative sculpture, SCULPTURE REVIEW must above all speak to you, our readers. We therefore urge you to speak back, give us your comments, your ideas and your own point of view. With your participation, we can ensure the magazine's continued vitality.

Raw Vision
Raw Vision was first published in 1989 with the express purpose of bringing the phenomena of Outsider Art to a wide public. The first edition of Raw Vision presented works known to just a handful of people around the world. Raw Vision has since continued to feature new discoveries of Outsider artists and unknown places such as sculpture gardens and extraordinary self-made buildings.
Raw Vision remains the world's only international journal of the art of the 'unknown geniuses' who are the creators of Outsider Art. Untrained, unschooled and uninfluenced by the art world, the work of these artists continues to stun and amaze. They invent their own forms, techniques and create private worlds. Only in the pages of Raw Vision can readers discover for themselves the world of Outsider Art.
This high quality quarterly publication takes a fully international view of events and presents all the latest news of exhibitions and publications in this fascinating field. It features artists from every continent and its news pages cover many different countries around the globe.
Raw Vision can give art lovers a unique insight into the power of 'raw' creativity which contrasts completely with the prosaic world of conceptual and institutional contemporary art so prevalent in our museums and galleries today. It is not for nothing that Outsider Art has been termed 'the hidden face of contemporary art', like the hidden face of the moon.

Naked Punch
Naked Punch originates from a collective, now dissolved, called “The Postanalytic Group”, that in 2002 met for a series of weekly gatherings. Naked Punch is run by a large editorial collective headed by three editors working on a voluntary basis.
Naked Punch is an engaged review of contemporary art and thought. Essentially a federal, "non-institutional" project, Naked Punch is the spontaneous collaboration of thinkers and artists residing in different cities of the world. Before being a magazine, a container of material or a "cabinet of objects", it is a shared understanding, a shared feeling of unease, a shared concern, and a shared sensitivity. A distinguishing feature of Naked Punch is its contemporaneity . The review aims to actively engage with current developments in, broadly, three deeply connected areas.
The first concern we aim to address is the philosophical or, more generally, theoretical impasse that characterises much of contemporary discussion. Torn between a highly self-conscious "European" difficulty to surpass the deconstructive rhetoric and an English speaking philosophy that has divorced itself from fundamental cultural and social engagements, the current state of theoretical thought is in need of a new direction that actively surmounts the risk of a purely self-referential, quasi-aesthetic philosophy, and the risk of an escape to an "ivory tower" characterised by exquisitely technical concerns and "professionalized" philosophising.
The second concern may be termed social or political . In times of great political turbulence, where the classical categories of political understanding and social division prove their inefficacy daily, a renewed interest in and engagement with the course our global society is taking is vitally necessary. Aside from political figures, we aim to pose the question of the shape our society ought to take to philosophers and artists alike, inaugurating a platform of social debate between different and varied currents of thought.
The third concern we may call artistic . By treating artists and film directors as serious thinkers, we aim to put into communication contemporary artistic currents with the developments of society at large. We believe in the power of art to render more intelligible the reality one dwells in, or "the spirit of the age", to use such a term.
Our inter-disciplinary character aims to persuade the reader that the areas of expression just discussed cannot be clearly divided up in "spheres of influence", to be tackled by an exquisitely professionalized one-dimensional thinker. It is rather the interplay of such disciplines that, representing the fundamental expression and definition of the age, needs to be fostered and encouraged.
We strive to create debate and conversation over and across entrenched institutional and academic lines – with the hope of creating options that can help us reassert our agency in creating and shaping our shared existence. Naked Punch is an internationalist project; we actively seek to introduce our readers to thinkers geographically outside of the Western hemisphere in the hope of creating a 'fusion of horizons', which can truly reflect and further the hybrid and interrelated nature of our existence.
