Modern Matter is a breakthrough biannual publication that combines the sometimes-chaotic approach to style and content found online with the painstaking concern for production and the written word that has always distinguished the very finest print journals. It is named by its emphasis on the present, as well as the aspects of art, style, design, and culture that are most important to the team behind the magazine, and it introduces the personal into a generally commercial realm.
Modern Matter is unusual in its aim to merging the finest of long-form cultural writing with a fine-art sensibility and a high-fashion style, as described by the Serpentine's Hans Ulrich Obrist as "the best magazine in London" and by Magma's Marc Valli as "porn for a magazine editor" It is published biannually and distributed globally.
