As digital screens continue to dominate our daily lives, a revival of analog artistry is making its way into homes around the world. NOVU, a groundbreaking hardbound print publication, is now available for pre-order, offering a sensory experience that surpasses the fleeting nature of the digital age.
Created by renowned photographer Asher Moss, NOVU is a rebellion and celebration of the tangible in an increasingly intangible world. This avant-garde masterpiece is already stirring excitement in the art and fashion communities with its inaugural issue.
“Whether imagery or sound is provocative or subtle, it is exquisite and iconic, conjuring a primal allure, a way of being, and a mystical longing,” says Moss, encapsulating the essence of NOVU. His philosophy is woven into every page of the magazine.
In a bold commitment to analog content, NOVU showcases breathtaking editorials and featured artworks that elevate traditional art forms and film photography. This dedication distinguishes NOVU in a market flooded with digital reproductions.
The first issue, limited to 500 copies, offers five distinct dust covers, each capped at 100 prints. The clothbound hardcover, adorned with gold foil debossing, houses 264 matte pages, making NOVU an art piece in its own right.
Inside, NOVU defies easy categorization. It’s a high-end art magazine exploring poetry, nude photography, fashion, and avant-garde art. Drawing inspiration from early erotic publications, it elevates the form with couture sensibility and uncompromising class.
The heart of NOVU beats with analog photography, but its lifeblood runs through diverse artistic expressions. From soul-stirring poetry to boundary-pushing fashion stories, from cinematic nostalgia to avant-garde sculptures, NOVU serves as a canvas for both established masters and emerging talents.
Photographers like Graham Dunn, Ambrojo, Aaron Feaver, and Theo Gosselin, alongside Moss, craft visual narratives that provoke and captivate. Their works are enriched by the timeless artistry of legends such as Cy Twombly and Yves Klein, creating a dialogue between past and present unique to NOVU.
In an era where artificial intelligence increasingly dictates visual consumption, NOVU stands as a bastion of human creativity and expression. It’s not just a magazine – it’s a movement. As Moss puts it, “While the gods of tech control what can and can’t be seen online, NOVU is a new space to share art through print.”
This analog ethos goes beyond aesthetics. NOVU positions itself as the first magazine dedicated to preserving and celebrating the authentic human touch in art and photography.
As the anticipation builds, NOVU invites you to an exclusive launch party on October 24 at Skyduster Space in Silverlake, Los Angeles. This untamed unveiling will feature stunning prints from the magazine, a DJ, and a fully stocked bar, offering an immersive preview of NOVU’s world.
With pre-orders for the inaugural issue now open, art lovers, photography enthusiasts, and connoisseurs of the extraordinary can be part of this analog revolution. NOVU promises to be a lasting testament to the power of print, the beauty of film, and the enduring allure of artistic expression unbound by the digital age.
