McLuhan Galaxy. Boat returns from Detroit. Last time we spoke to the nomadic Boat magazine, they were off to Detroit to write, edit and design their latest issue.
Now back in the UK, creative director Davey Spens told us how it all went... In September Spens described the thinking behind Boat and how the team (Spens, his wife Erin – the editor – and a host of assembled creatives including designer Luke Tonge) managed to make a magazine about Sarajevo, while stationed in the city for several weeks. I caught up with Spens on email to ask him about their recent experience of the second place the magazine has called home: Detroit. How did you find Detroit and its creative community? Was it what you'd expected?
