MacGuffin #14 - The Wall 

‘The Life of Things’ 

The gift that keeps on giving...  unabashedly firm magCulture favourite (plus one of our top sellers) MacGuffin delivers another standout issue, its 14th, a bit by bit unpacking of ‘The Wall’ in its many forms—that's green walls, paywalls, uterine walls, curtainwalls, apartheid walls and fourth walls. As the team note, it's an object/infrastructure with typically negative connotations, so it's particularly interesting to explore the wall's contradictory nature across geopolitics, architecture and society at large.  

A brick-hued cover makes this issue temptingly stackable, covering the consumerist infatuation with brutalism, death by wallpaper, a tour of Paris in seven walls, the renaissance of the underground bunker, French free-climber Alain Roberts, and Trump's border walls as land art. With contributions from Liv Siddal, Seb Emina, Rem Koolhaas and more. (And yes, there is a Pink Floyd reference in there too.)
