LVHRD MGZN 03 dives head first into a world of threes: third dimensions, third bases, third political parties and various trinities are all explored via LVHRD’s creative community. Whoever said that good things come in threes was right was right was right. Download the issue and see for yourself.
You may remember Russell Robertson and Jeanne Pfordresher from their first collaboration with LVHRD at BIFOLD: GRN. This time we visited the husband and wife industrial design team at their studio in Sunset Park, Brooklyn to look at prototypes for a fleet of NYC mini-module taxis. It was a late summer afternoon, the kids were off school: in this VDO you can see the exact spot family and work overlap.
As Katrina’s two year anniversary approaches New Orleans is getting the predictable attention from the media, mostly retrospective looks at how little has been done over the past two years to shore New Orleans against renewed ruin from future disaster.
While we agree that pathetic little has been done to protect New Orleans against the very force of nature that devastated the city two years ago, New Orleans is still a vibrantly layered, bursting city, that refuses to let its future be a constant retelling of Katrina.

We have reached the end of our MGZN 02 XCRPT Series and, luckily, we have reached the end of MGZN 02. We were hoping that’s the way it would work out. Our next issue is right around the corner.
The final excerpt from MGZN 02 is actually two small excerpts.
NNLVHRD EVNT is a review of “Merge,†an opening at Vancouver’s Ayden Gallery, set in the context of that city’s burgeoning art scene.
DTD TCHNLGY is a collection of suggestions for how to instill new life in dated technology, satellite dish…
You totally should have gone to the beach. It’s not going to rain.
But, you didn’t, so here’s something for you to pass the time until the weekend.
This week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02 is a review of the music of Mia Riddle and her Band and the artwork of Jen Dunlap: Sound and Vision.
Mia is known for her gutsy folk lullabies that remind us of steamy firefly marshes at twilight. Jen paints the pink amniotic rush, warm interior cross-sections that are part graffiti, part watercolor maps.
If it does…
This week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02 takes you to a new kind of Oz, the strange and semi-permeable land of desktop work spaces. We like to call it Desktopias.
Taking a cue from LVHRD member Jennifer Daniel, we asked our membership to send us screenshots of the virtual spaces they inhabit every day. Some of these places we’d like to live in, kind of like Milo’s world in the Phantom Toolboth. Others, not so much (think Oliver Stone in Pan’s Labyrinth.)
If you’d like to see Desktopias in its natural…
Brazilian photographer Leo Zacharias captured LVHRD members exploring their doppelgängers for Double Xposures, this week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02.
Double Xposures comes from LVHRD’s ACTHRD: Thespian Royale at M1-5 in TriBeCa. Leo took two photographs of each person and wove the images together: you’ll see Chris Franzese giving himself a right hook to the chin and Doug Jaeger² guarding the entrance to some remote VIP room.

This week’s excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02, HNDCFFD: Strangers with Friction, is a blow-by-blow report by Tobi Elkin of what happened the day LVHRD decided to link two strangers’ fate with a pair of cuffs.
Nick Rhodes and Mary Riley had no idea they’d be spending a day handcuffed together when LVHRD asked them to be the subject of a feature in MGZN. They were good sports though, keeping a sense of humor even when it was bathroom time.

desktop//desktop on NowNow documents the virtual and physical desktops of New York designers, including Sagmeister.
desktop/desktop has been on Core77 and Josh Spear, but we thought we’d mention it again because it coincides so well with Desktopias in LVHRD MGZN 01 and 02, the feature where we published the virtual desktops of some LVHRD members. The workspaces range from cute to gruesome.
This week the excerpt from LVHRD MGZN 02 is an interview with up-and-coming actor/writer Dan Gregor by journalist Rina Raphael.
Dan did improv comedy the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz until he sold the pilot for “We Are Internet Millionaires†to ABC.
In XCRPT 5 Dan talks to Rina about what it’s like to be living a distilled version of Entourage, sweating for TV executives, and how to recognize a chubby skinny kid.
It’s a perfect interview for a summer day when your brain can hardly process the sound of your own voice.…
The inimitable Mia Riddle and her band are playing a show at Union Hall in Park Slope on Friday, June 1 at 9pm.
If you have not experienced Union Hall (not Union Pool) or Mia’s luminescent melodies (she’s in LVHRD MGZN 02), take this opportunity to celebrate June Day at an awesome venue–indoor bocce courts, fireplaces, regal library, backyard garden– and hear Mia with her band before they tour Europe this summer.
So much ambiance and excitement for only $8.
