An editorial project based in Madrid and London, Buffalo is a universe in the form of a magazine: an experimental publication on aesthetics, arts, and self–expression. It comes out whenever it can and exists forever, and focuses on featuring new talents and timeless icons from a very personal perspective: an intimate, in–depth approach with a hint of poetry and a punk wink.
From Buffalo, on issue 20:
"Society tells us to strive for success. That success is survival. The best revenge. But do we have more to learn from success – or epic failure? Could there be something more subversive than embracing failure? And can perhaps failure be the ultimate free form of fighting the dictatorship of success?
Does fulfilling our dream always land us where we want it to? Are awards always rewarding? And at what cost do we fake it till we make it? For Buffalo’s twentieth issue, we explore the many paths to greatness, the pressure of success, and the impulse to scrape ourselves up and keep going when things don’t go to plan.
Martin Margiela contemplates his move into the art world with Hans Ulrich Obrist. Alanis Morissette muses over the meaning of fulfillment with Brontez Purnell. Anna Delvey talks picking herself up and starting again with Natasha Stagg, while Fiona Duncan reflects on a life of iconoclasm with artist Pippa Garner. Plus, cult writer Dennis Cooper on the hard graft of being an outsider artist and art collective bare minimum on the unappreciated virtues of laziness. And who needs self-help when you have Buffalo’s alternate reading guide to success?"
