The Lab Mag brings original experiences to curious minds. We create events, make films and publish magazines. Our collectible biannual print editions are made with the utmost care and quality, and each one explores a new theme. The Lab Mag celebrates the work of established and emerging artists from around the globe as well as cultural czars, designers, filmmakers, creators, free thinkers, rebellious spirits and pioneers in contemporary culture. The Lab Mag is a catalyst. A reminder that the world is full of wonder and our reason for being is to keep the flame of curiosity burning.
