MASKS is an independent journal of dissimulation in art | architecture | design founded in 2015 by Clemens Finkelstein and Anthony Morey while being graduate students in the History and Philosophy of Design at Harvard University.
Faux Families exploits our insatiable longing for be-longing. It infiltrates our conscious and unconscious disciplinary behavior. Conceived at a time that has been dubbed the age after-belonging, the upcoming issue of MASKS will take a closer look at the structures of connectivity and the patterns of disconnection at work …

MASKS is a questing spirit for everything exploring the aggregate of present, past and future disciplinary structures in and between the fields of art, architecture and design.
MASKS challenges the basic assumption of the dialectic reality/fiction. Fictional narratives become reality through ritualistic events. MASKS is the shaman that performs these rituals.
MASKS believes in the performance of appearance, not the predetermined disciplinary limitations set by distinguishing art, architecture and design. Collective creativity and knowledge production that defies or expands preconceptions are MASKS stimulants.
MASKS explores notions of disguise, camouflage, unveiling, performativity, simulation etc. in the creative disciplines.
MASKS will build on institutional exchange across the globe, diversifying academic exploration with an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary focus, bringing practitioners’ voices from all walks of life together.
