    The newest edition of the feminist magazine FETT is out in stores now, featuring an interview with KUKLOS-artist Rasmus Hungnes (from the duo Ringstad ≠ Hungnes), emphasizing the use of explicit pornography in his art. The interview mainly revolves around works and reflections from Rasmus' solo-career, but also displays two pieces from our collaboration - the poster for KUKLOS Border 1.0, Galleri Split, Bergen, 2014 and Untitled*, 2014.
