Reed Pages Magazine

“Reed Pages is at the fore­front of con­tem­po­rary cul­ture, art and design. It is ded­i­cated to deliv­er­ing inspi­ra­tional, infor­ma­tive and authen­tic con­tent. It brings together the new and the rein­vented, the home­grown and the for­eign, and the inde­pen­dents and the conglomerates.

Whether it be visual, expe­ri­en­tial, com­mer­cial or con­cep­tual, the fea­tures are selected for their con­tri­bu­tions and impact felt around the world. From cover to cover, Reed Pages influ­ences its read­ers to learn, inter­act, cre­ate and be an active par­tic­i­pant of the con­tem­po­rary lifestyle.

There are no small sto­ries in Reed Pages, thus the fea­tures are orga­nized alpha­bet­i­cally. Every sub­ject, every place and every sin­gle thing is given equal promi­nence. Every­thing we cover inspires us in some way, and we aim to share this inspi­ra­tion with our readers.”

Christodoulos Panayiotou’s Video: What does an orgy require?

2007, dou­ble chan­nel video instal­la­tion with sound and framed photo.

The dou­ble video instal­la­tion “Guys­gocrazy” was pro­duced in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Prague-based porno­graphic com­pany under the same name which orga­nizes large-scale orgies. The empty stu­dios were filmed before and after one of their events. A group pho­to­graph depict­ing the par­tic­i­pants con­cludes the installation.

Curated by Eliz­a­beth Lovero, EMOG fea­tures work by over 30 artists as well as an exhi­bi­tion design by archi­tect Rafael de Car­de­nas that incor­po­rates ele­ments of gallery and retail space.

The Secret Sushi Dan NYC


‘Bohemian, the soon-to-open Noho sis­ter of a bar in the Nishi­az­abu dis­trict of Tokyo, is tucked into the back of a build­ing that used to belong to Andy Warhol. To reach the front door, you pass through a hall­way dubbed “Basquiat Road” (the artist died in his loft at this address). Once you’ve used your swipe key to get in (only 200 will be dis­trib­uted), you’re in an apart­ment­like, low-ceilinged room con­tain­ing just 25 plush seats, includ­ing a cou­ple of couches and a six-seat yel­low pine bar.’
