Bigert & Bergström were commissioned to create a golden sauna where people could meet and discuss the upcoming changes for the area.
For our May issue, we’re celebrating saunas. Betty Carpick looks at the history of the sauna and the significance in our community, and from a gondola sauna to what rocks are the best for sweating it out, we present an infographic with some sauna stats and facts that you might not know. Plus, Kim Latimer explores the remote saunas on Lake Superior, I chat with sauna builder Kari Jamsa, and we asked and you’ve delivered—our cover story includes a spread of unique saunas submitted by our readers. It doesn’t matter if you have a Finnish background or not, the sauna is a place to bring people together. To quote Professor Harold Tier, president of the Finnish Sauna Society: “The idea is not to have the best sauna on the block, but to get the entire block in the sauna.” -Adrian Lysenko

In August 1934, young Cyril L. wrote to his friend Billy about all the exciting men he had met, the swinging nightclubs he had visited, and the vibrant new life he had forged for himself in the big city. He wrote, "I have only been queer since I came to London about two years ago, before then I knew nothing about it." London, for Cyril, meant boundless opportunities to explore his newfound sexuality. But his freedom was limite: he was soon arrested, simply for being in a club frequented by queer men. Cyril's story is Matt Houlbrook's point of entry into the queer worlds of early twentieth-century London. Drawing on previously unknown sources, from police reports and newspaper exposes to personal letters, diaries, and the first queer guidebook ever written, Houlbrook here explores the relationship between queer sexualities and modern urban culture that we take for granted today. He revisits the diverse queer lives that took hold in London's parks and streets; its restaurants, pubs, and dancehalls; and its Turkish bathhouses and hotels-as well as attempts by municipal authorities to control and crack down on those worlds. He also describes how London shaped the culture and politics of queer life-and how London was in turn shaped by the lives of queer men. Ultimately, Houlbrook unveils the complex ways in which men made sense of their desires and who they were. In so doing, he mounts a sustained challenge to conventional understandings of the city as a place of sexual liberation and a unified queer culture. A history remarkable in its complexity yet intimate in its portraiture, Queer London is a landmark work that redefines queer urban life in England and beyond. "A ground-breaking work. While middle-class lives and writing have tended to compel the attention of most historians of homosexuality, Matt Houlbrook has looked more widely and found a rich seam of new evidence. It has allowed him to construct a complex, compelling account of interwar sexualities and to map a new, intimate geography of London."-Matt Cook, The Times Higher Education Supplement Winner of History Today's Book of the Year Award, 2006

Slanted shines a spotlight on the graphic design scene in Finland's capital Finland boasts many superlatives: there are more saunas than cars; it has the most heavy metal bands per capita; any Finnish noun can have over 200 different forms; Finns are the most avid readers of books and newspapers globally and world leaders in the use of libraries … The list goes on forever. In the summer of 2016 the Slanted editors embarked on a trip to Helsinki to take a close-up look at the contemporary design scene. What they found was a rich creative community with a deeply rooted culture – people who do much more than just love design, they live it. This volume—with interviews, essays, illustrations, and photographs—captures the vibrancy of Helsinki's contemporary design culture. The list of designers Slanted met with includes legends such as Erik Bruun as well as younger designers who are creating exciting new work. Figures from Helsinki’s contemporary design community—including Jesse Auersalo, Bond Agency, Double Happiness, GRMMXI, Helsinki Type Studio, Kokoro & Moi, Kuudes, Linda Linko, Martin Martonen, N2, Tino Nyman, Prakt Design Agency, Schick Toikka, Tsto, and Werklig—allow a glimpse into their world.
