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.

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.’
