history

In 1995 Thomas Marecki, aka Moroccan, founded Lodown Magazine and developed it into an influential, visual component of the international board, street and graffiti scene. Today it is increasingly concerned with contemporary art , music , film , fashion , lifestyle and literature . Up to issue No. 13 (September 1998) the magazine was stapled and then switched to perfect binding because of the increasing amount of content . In March 2004, with issue No. 40, the page size changed slightly from the original 220 mm × 280 mm to 233 mm × 265 mm. Since then it has been using several types of paper within one issue as a design element and as a characteristic feature today . Since 2006, guest designers have repeatedly been hired to design one issue of the magazine. Exclusive contributions were made by Kaws , Futura 2000 , Eric Haze , Matt Irving, Mirko Borsche , Don Pendleton, Åbäke, Manuel Bürger and Marc Brandenburg , among others . Since 2008 there has also been an annual monothematic special edition devoted exclusively to contemporary art .
