TANK #Vol. 11.5

Based in London, TANK Magazine has grown from a pocket-sized publication founded in 1998 to a quarterly print magazine, covering fashion, art, politics, literature, travel, architecture, technology, and frankly everything in between! 

‘Cultured. Since 1998.’

As Wikipedia dutifully points out, this publication is ‘not to be confused with Tank, the magazine of the Royal Tank Regiment.’ If it’s contemporary culture, fashion, art, architecture, technology and politics you’re looking for, this would be the version to go for.

Tank has taken many forms and continues to carve a distinctive niche in a crowded genre, with its selective themes and intelligent writing. Typically sticker-friendly, recent issues have been uncharacteristically unstickered (not including the logo, which has indeed been manually stuck on) but with a sheet of stickers ready to be applied.

Vol. 11 Issue 5 - The Lifestyle Issue

The self-proclaimed ‘heavy duty culture’ magazine tries its hand at lifestyle content for its Autumn 2025 issue—once again positioning itself at the forefront of contemporary culture. Of course, it wouldn’t be Tank without a tongue-in-cheek twist, ciphering astute cultural criticism through traditional lifestyle categories, from interiors, beauty and wellness to entertainment, technology, and celebrity gossip.

Inside, you’ll find a feature on Sienna Murdoch, the sculpture artist using jelly as a medium for exploring present-day relationships with food; Ayesha A. Siddiqi traces the entangled history’s of Western colonialism and the pursuit of immortality (or the appearance of eternal youth); Billie Muraben crashes through Selling Sunset’s fourth wall, exposing the algorithmic mechanisms turning council housing into hot property; plus, conversations with the likes of John Maus, Wael Shawky, Sophie Kemp and Martin Parr.
