LE DICTATEUR AND LE DICTATEUR PRESS

Le Dictateur, the magazine// Le is the highest expression of the dominion of personal will: it is to be thought of as a state, a space where artists, photographers, fashion world protagonists live together, arbitrarily selected and invited. Some are famous, some are extremely famous, some are totally unknown: they earned their citizenship because they have been wanted there, and they each became dictators of their own pages.

Among the others contributors to the first three issues have been: Micol Assael, Roger Ballen, Francesco Barocco, Jacopo Benassi, Lorenza Boisi, Sophie Calle, Maurizio Cattelan, Riccardo Cavallari, Roberto Cuoghi, Martin De Thurah, Pierpaolo Ferrari, Kim Jones, Nadav Kander, Liz Magic Laser, Paola Manfrin, Alda Merini, Federico Pepe, Dan Perjovschi, Luigi Presicce, Lady Tarin, Patrick Tuttofuoco, Arturo Schwarz, Nico Vascellari.

Le Dictateur, the project space // Since 2009 Le Dictateur is also a space in Milan with the same statement of the magazine: in total freedom and lack of rules the artists were called to present a new or custom project for the space: the result are unique event with an extreme spirit.

Le Dictateur Press // Le Dictateur Press is an editorial platform publishing various artists' books and other projects.
