Aaron Rose Interview
Aaron Rose has been credited with being somewhat of a pared-back pied-piper of street culture, responsible for providing a platform for street art to sing from in the early 1990s. His gallery, Alleged, helped catapult artists such as Terry Richardson, Barry McGee, Mark Gonzales, Mike Mills and Harmony Korine from underground obscurity into well deserved but previously unlikely worldwide fame. By believing in and championing the artists and their work, through curation, advocacy and his groundbreaking film Beautiful Losers, Aaron Rose turned the art world on its head.

Matt Mignanelli
This week we find our way into the studio of Brooklyn-based painter Matt Mignanelli. Using a palette dominated by dark shades, Matt creates texture and pattern with a mix of gloss and matte paints, which, filtered through the light of their environments can create an enhanced interactive experience for the viewer. Thoroughly modern and stikingly urban in style, here, we catch up with Matt as he takes us through his work and studio.
Jack Smylie: Where is your studio based?

Danielle Top Interview
Danielle Top Interview
17/12/2012TOP might be a young magazine, but it already has contributions from the biggest artists from downtown New York. The name is a good reflection of what it is, not as an elite circle but rather a way to look at art: you start from the summit and then you wander, exploring. Danielle Top, its founder and editor-in-chief, was kind enough to answer a few questions as the fourth issue of TOP magazine comes out.
Alexandre Stipanovich: Is Danielle Top your real name?
Danielle Top: Yes.

Chad Wys Interview
Chad Wys is, by self-definition, a visual conceptual artist, designer and writer from Illinois. Immersing himself in continual experimentation, his multidisciplinary practice is backed by a thorough knowledge of the history that has preceded his own artwork, and critical theory which gives his work an intellectual utility.
