Frédéric Magazine certainly isn't yet another fashion glossy or chic decor rag with sights set on the overstuffed Manhattan media mecca; rather, it's an evolving online gallery and collective with an egalitarian attitude. Although prospective members were jokingly encouraged to adopt the magazine's namesake as their own, all current members find themselves connected through the simplicity of their materials. Blotted paper, felt-tip and ballpoint pens, and pencils all belie the intricacy of the compositions hanging on the site's digital walls.

And after exhibiting their work throughout Paris and London, Frédéric members Isabelle Boinot, Frédéric Fleury, Emmanuelle Pidoux, Frédéric Poincelet, and Stéphane Pringent are bringing their work stateside. Opening this Friday, the show (named for the collective, naturally) will be held at Culver City, CA's Fette's Gallery -- which may be of some reprieve to those vexed by a dearth of online updates.
