Loom at "mediengang'08" // 10-07-08 // Jul-2008
Loom likes to invite you to meet with us in Weimar at Mediengang, the Faculty of Media's annual exhibition which is taking place this year from July 10th to 13th. Projects, exhibitions and symposia show a cross-section of work from all areas of the faculty. You will find selected works of Loom magazine, a presentation of our new issue and the ambitious Loom team waiting for you.
Mediengang is part of Summary, the Bauhaus-University's annual exhibitions of all faculties. For further information see the mediengang website.
Issue #4 "Woodlands" out now // 07-07-08 // Jul-2008
Loom has seen its first birthday and invites you to discover its new look as well as the many woody stories we captured while taking a leisurely stroll through the woods.
Our issue #4 comes along all dressed up - for the wood and only. See the issues section to read more and download the actual magazine.
Upcoming Issue #4 - Woodlands // 30-04-08 // Apr-2008
Issue 4 includes a forest walk to different woodlands in Europe were we encounter not only little red riding hood, forest spirits and a hidden secret but also treehuggers, hunted hunters and the people of poplars.
We take a break at the black lodge near the blue lake watching "Them". After our walk back we meet all togehter in the snuggery heated by firewood and have a fresh brewed german beer (yes it's the most excellent beer in the world). As always we haven't met our deadline but we feel confident that it's going to be done very soon and not when it's done!
Get dressed for a forest walk and issue #4!
LOOM 1.4 - Major update of the Loom webpage // 27-04-08 // Apr-2008
Finally it's done! To reach the target of our 30 year plan we still have a lot of things on our to do list. Wolf Landmann helped us with one of the most important one.
He did this great and really necessary update to the loom webpage. Thank you!
Issue #3 out now - Places of crime // 25-11-07 // Nov-2007
Watch out - the topic of our new loom issue is dangerous... to be mistaken. It took us some time to finish the "Places of crime" issue but investigating a crime is always a long-term business.
Like the team of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson our team is small and instead of smoking the pipe we prefered "damn good coffee and bags full of doughnuts". Strongly motivated by these huge amounts of caffeine and sugar we also did a major update to the loom webpage and in doing so we hope to provide more service for our viewers.
Feel free to join our investigations and see what the butler did. As we all know: Crime does pay!
Second Loom Show coming up summer 2008 // 20-11-07 // Nov-2007
In late July 2008 it is planned to exhibit selected works of Loom magazine as well as unseen series in our second show. Our exhibiton team is already comparing and discussing the caffeine amount in different espresso brands.
Soon it's time for a new seal ring for our espresso machine and more news about the show. We stay busy!

Issue #04 // 07-07-08 // Jul-2008
Woodlands
Dear Viewer. A warm welcome and immediate invitation to come along with us into the "woodlands". As always we haven't met our deadline, but we feel confident that our new issue is a job what pays! Since our magazine has seen the light of day, fifteen months have passed by. The time is right to get dressed up - for the wood and only.
Our issue #4 includes a forest walk to different woodlands in Europe where we encounter not only little red riding hood, forest spirits and a hidden secret but also hunted hunters, and the people of poplars. We also take a break at the black lodge near the blue lake watching "them". After our walk back we meet all together in the snuggery heated by firewood and have a fresh brewed german beer. Feel free to take your very own track into the woodlands. But don't forget your gingerbread to mark the trail back home.

Issue #03 // 25-11-07 // Nov-2007
Places of crime
Dear viewer, watch out - the topic of our new loom issue is dangerous... to be mistaken. It took us some time to finish the "Places of crime" issue but investigating a crime is always a long-term business.
When we first thought about "Places of crime" blood and thunder came to our mind. But we found more ways of interpreting and visualizing this topic during our last course. One reason for this surely is the fact that the german term "Tatorte" is not the exact translation for "Places of crime" but the most suitable. Whereas "Places of crime" describes places where a crime was commited, "Tatorte" describes places where something happened or where someone did something. Not necessarily under a negative connontation.
So the results may vary greatly and we discovered different potentials able to activate not only a criminal mind. Bad girls, bad dolls, bad dogs and bad thougts are only a few possibillities displayed in this issue. Feel free to join our investigations and see what the butler did. As we all know: Crime does pay!

Special Issue #02 // 16-07-2007 // Jul-2007
In the search of the famous
Dear viewer, this special issue of Loom is based on a workshop with students from Uiah (University of Art and Design Helsinki). The images shown in this issue are a result of an intense one week project in Helsinki.
Loom as a platform for photography students should not only be bound to Weimar, or to student projects. Therefor special issues are used for any kind of projects which are related to photography and from our point contributing to the thought of "Walking with the speed of light".
The idea for this project was to follow the steps of famous photographers, to learn their language and by learning it to find back to the own original way of visualzing images. Not all of the chosen photographers are world famous but still it's quite challenging to see or to know the originals, and to expierience now the transformation. Maybe it's good to have a look at the neighbours garden to see the own flowers.

Issue #01 // 13-03-07 // Mar-2007
Once In A While
Dear viewer, you are reading the first ever issue of Loom ‒ a magazine about the art to walk with the speed of light. This first issue exemplifies the student’s accesses to their world with a camera.
It reflects on the circumstances and raises the questions of their and our everyday life, our routines and habits. The photographic and literary pieces in this issue should encourage viewers to reconsider their perception and to sharpen their view in order to explore what is behind the wall paper.
Feel free to take a walk with your very own speed of light and have a look on our first issue of "Loom".
Alexander Lembke, Faculty of Media
