The rumours are true: analog is back.
Fresh Spread is the first pop-up by Hot Source, a new shop selling and celebrating print magazines in Hong Kong. It offers a neat selection of titles from across the globe that present new perspectives on contemporary culture. The exciting line-up—including FatBoy Zine, MacGuffin, Pleasant Place, Viscose Journal, and other magazines rarely seen in Hong Kong—explores art, design, fashion, food, gardening, sound, and more.
Fresh Spread will be hosted at Noii Arthouse, Sham Shui Po in collaboration with artist and photographer Kary Kwok, who will display a selection of 70s and 80s Hong Kong fashion magazines from his personal collection. These include Hong Kong Fashions, Ladies and Home Pictorial Fortnightly, Image, Style, The Companion Pictorial, and Sister’s Pictorial. The selection highlights the archival value of print for looking at a specific moment in time.
A packed programme of cultural events including talks, life drawing, and zine-making, will bring people together and the magazines to life through the week. See the full schedule below.
Hot Source celebrates print magazines as unique sources of creativity, inspiration, and knowledge at the intersection of art and design. Well-researched, design-led, and community-driven, the titles stocked create space for multiple voices, with the intention of forging meaningful connections between readers and the world beyond our screens.
A cosy reading area will be set up for browsing, chatting, and listening to a hand-picked selection of vinyl records. You can also get your mitts on a bottle of Flagrant Yuzu Koji Hot Sauce—a Hong Kong-made condiment for your kitchen or bar.
More than a pop-up shop, Fresh Spread by Hot Source is a place for discovery and connection. It’s open for five days only so don’t miss your moment.
