The PIN–UP Museum Issue! In this first in a series of guest-edited issues, curators Fredi Fischli and Niels Olsen pose two essential questions: is The Museum a space that can nurture and inspire the imagination; or is it a place of ruin where objects go to die? In other words: is it necessary? Or should the museum go away? Find out more on 208 beautifully designed pages, including nine collectible covers featuring Martine Syms, Carrie Mae Weems, Smiljan Radić, Itusko Hasegawa, and more. Museum-worthy.

TRAILING HOMOEROTICISM ALONG THE URBAN SITE

by Alejandro Carrion

ISSUE 36 S/S 2024

Construction is not just about physical structures; it’s about the intangible spaces we inhabit — the realms of imagination, creativity, and possibility. It’s about those who dare to challenge the status quo and redefine the boundaries of what is possible. This issue is by and about those whose minds are perpetually building.

ISSUE 35 F/W 2023/24

The word “environment” is often used in the same breath as sustainability, efficiency, and greenhouse gas emissions. An expanded definition of environments evokes a more profound sense of consciousness in the spaces in which we find ourselves; the objects and rituals we use as forms or tools of communication; and the terms of hierarchy — architectural and beyond. Our environments aren’t just the spaces we take up or the ones that surround us as the seasons change — they’re everything we see, say, and do.

BEADED CURTAINS, FAMILY LEGACIES, AND THE POLITICS OF IMAGE-MAKING

by Natalia Torija Nieto

ISSUE 34 S/S 2023

It all comes back to the body, right? Over the past decades, the conversation about human bodies has shifted through spaces, vocabularies, and theories. In this issue, PIN–UP dresses down the human form and its politics to examine a moment that, for a long time now, has been considered through the vehicle of architecture. We hope to create new points of reference through intimate conversations and posits of self-reflection.
