Jezga Vol. 3

The third issue of JEZGA covers the theme Body As A Canvas / Body As A Tool. Exploring two aspects of our physical selves, and the ways these functions are used in artistic practices.

We have collected stories of birth, death, violence, nature, motherhood, love, detox, nature, sanity and warped perception – we want to celebrate the photographers, artists, and designers who daringly connect with their own bodies, as well as those of others, to use them in their craft and convey unique perspectives.

This issue has a reversible cover – split down the middle between 'Canvas' and 'Tool'. Don't worry about picking your favourite, you'll get both.

Issue five of OOF dives down into the emotional safety net that football provides for so many people. On the cover, we've got the amazing Senegalese photographer Omar Victor Diop, interviewed by Ayodeji Rotinwa. Deeper in the mag, Justin Hammond gets all misty-eyed over Martin Andersen's photos of pre-match mischief, Rosemary Waugh explores the unravelling of masculinity in Corbin Shaw’s football flags, and Lydia Blakeley tells us why Delia Smith is a modern icon. Elsewhere, we've got Orit Gat dropping some art theory on a photo of Dele Alli and Eddy Frankel comparing crowds to bacteria in William Reginald Howe Browne's stunning painting of a Wembley FA Cup final.

Summer 2020

Created in one of the most tumultuous times in our 26 years as a print publication, Juxtapoz is excited to share our newest Quarterly edition, Summer 2020 Issue #214. For the cover story and artwork, we had Brooklyn-based painter, Kelly Beeman, premiere one of her newest watercolor works, a painting that spoke to our current global mood of both harmony, togetherness, anxiety and fear. We also share in-depth conversations Jose Parla, Felipe Pantone, Calida Rawles, Anna Weyant, Jess Johnson, Molly Bounds and Koichi Sato, as well as stories on the history of Levi's, Heath Ceramics. Summer 2020 also highlights the works of Bill Posters, Kristine Potter, Yu Maeda, 1010. And in perhaps a perfect tale of these past months, we get a journal from Martin Machado as he took a riverboat from San Francisco to Sacramento, at the early stages of the pandemic, away from the news and one with the natural world.

frankie – issue 95

hear ye, hear ye! a brand-new issue of frankie is now on sale in australia and there are loads of wondrous things between its covers. a dame who’s bringing deep-sea exploration to the masses, for one, plus another turning discarded festival tents into nice-looking bags. also on the menu: a pint-size crochet museum standing deep in the californian desert, a nifty guide to op-shopping like a gosh-darn pro, first-person accounts of some major world events, and regular words that actually came from people’s names (see: nachos, cardigan and saxophone). there’s an ode to motherhood in all its glory and grossness, and a bunch of bath ‘recipes’ using natural ingredients. and of course, we have our usual shedload of lovely photography, pretty arty-crafty stuff, music, travel and mildly hilarious opinion pieces. enjoy!

Middle Plane - Issue 02

The issue comprises four separate and bound editorials and The Silver Post newspaper, which can be found enclosed in an envelope. Each editorial responds to a specific artwork by the featured artist, criticising and dealing with capitalist culture, self-isolation, loneliness, illness, and celebrations of life in light of a difficult reality.

Nine months ago, we decided to work with Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s legacy as part of our third issue. Today, this decision seems more relevant than ever. Gonzalez-Torres’s work could be interpreted to have predicted a quarantined society back in the 80s, long before the possibility of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, we are proud to present new fashion editorials as a response to the work of artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres.

About Felix : While Gonzalez-Torres referred to himself as American, he was born in Guaimaro, Cuba, in 1957 and raised in Puerto Rico. He moved to New York in 1979 and died of AIDS-related causes in 1996. Felix Gonzalez-Torres employed simple, everyday materials and a reduced aesthetic vocabulary reminiscent of both Minimalism and Conceptual Art to address themes such as love and loss, sickness and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality.

Contributors : Charlie Engman, Benjamin Lennox, Adrian Samson, Jenna Westra, Alexis Roche, Pat Boguslawski, Lyson Marchessault and more.

Video/Art: The First Fifty Years

 The curator who founded MoMA's video program recounts the artists and events that defined the medium's first 50 years

Since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly a half century ago, artists throughout the world have adapted their latest technologies to art-making. In this book, curator Barbara London traces the history of video art as it transformed into the broader field of media art - from analog to digital, small TV monitors to wall-scale projections, and clunky hardware to user-friendly software. In doing so, she reveals how video evolved from fringe status to be seen as one of the foremost art forms of today.

Postcards

Nature is a delicate balance of expansion and collapse, flourish and famine, growth and decay. Have human beings permanently disrupted this cycle, throwing the wheel off its axis, or are we just paving way for the next species to thrive? Is it still possible for us to return to a point of flourishing without collapse? Explore these questions with the Extinction Rebellion, the women warriors of the Amazon, and more of our heroes on the frontlines of conservation. Featuring contributions from Sylvia Earle, Elizabeth L. Cline, Ben Toms, Sam Rock, Stefanie Moshammer, Liliana Merizalde, Kristin-Lee Moolman, Gareth McConnell, Pieter Hugo, Simon Armitage, and more. 

In “The Amazon Is a Woman,” Brazilian journalist Eliane Brum paints a clear portrait of how the violence committed against the rainforest is no different than the violence committed against the indigenous peoples who are risking their lives to defend it—the story of the forest is their story. “Rebel Yell” tells the tale of another band of warriors—the members of Extinction Rebellion and their Red Rebel Brigade—who have taken the threat of annihilation and transformed it into a movement of hope, beautifully captured by photographer Ben Toms.

At the heart of the issue are the twenty-first century’s “Stewards of the Wild,” a collection of incredible individuals and organizations on the frontlines of conservation, including diving legend Sylvia Earle, reforestation expert Akira Miyawaki, and Thomas Hildebrandt, the doctor working to save the northern white rhinos from extinction. The last two of these creatures in existence, Fatu and Najin, were lensed by photographer Sam Rock at their home of Ol Pejeta Conservancy, specially for this issue.

The remaining pages include a line of inquiry from The Conscious Closetauthor Elizabeth L. Cline about the future of fashion (“Reaping and Sewing”), a poetic exploration of personal loss by the UK’s poet laureate Simon Armitage (“Hooked Up to the Morphine”), an exploration in space archaeology from the Harvard professor who coined the term (“Is Anybody Out There?”) and lessons from a death expert (“Living Like a Death Doula”). In “Two Futures,” Paris Climate Agreement authors Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac present two potential outcomes for our future, as explored in their new book.

Alongside these stories, Atmos asked nine artists—including Stefanie Moshammer, Gareth McConnell, Kristin-Lee Moolman, Pieter Hugo, and more—to interpret the theme of Flourish/Collapse through their eyes. The result is a journey along the axis of creation that spans from the teeming forests of New Zealand to the snowy expanses of Iceland to the all-but-barren deserts of the Atacama, telling stories that deal with the nature of proliferation and putrescence, abundance and absence, life and death—and the places where these forces meet.

“As a species, limitless growth seems to be all we have valued for so long,” says Atmoseditor-in-chief William Defebaugh. “But nature has limits, limits that we are testing. We have been blindly walking the line between expansion and collapse, and never has it been more clearly illuminated how thin that line is. This year, with the snap of a finger, nature has shown us how quickly she can crumble our kingdom of comfort. At every turn, she teaches us the importance of balance. It is time we finally listened.”

The book’s title reveals the identity of its protagonist: Kathleen McCain Engman has been posing for her son Charlie since 2009. And yet MOM shows us a face we never really get to know: while we soon become acquainted with her freckled complexion and intense gaze, her position in the images becomes increasingly unclear. Engman first began shooting his mother because she was available, ever-willing to meet the demands of one of her children. But what began as a casual, organic process evolved into an intense collaboration. The result is neither a family album nor a filial tribute but a much deeper and far more complex interaction: one that raises questions about the limits of familiarity, the rules and boundaries of roles and representation, vulnerability and control, and what it means to look and to be seen.

Borders are a means of separation. They separate two sides, defining a here and a there. But they also delineate what lies within the boundaries, instilling a sense of safety and security. Although they implicitly stake a claim to permanence, nothing is as changeable as boundary lines. So it is ironic that people and entire nations should develop so much pride and protectionism on the basis of existing borders, while knowing full well that these are artificial constructs that are constantly changing and sometimes disappearing altogether.
– Roger Eberhard

Human Territoriality is a selection of Roger Eberhard’s photographs of former border regions around the globe and down through the course of human history. Some of these borders have shifted over time, by only a few hundred meters or much more, due to climate change or manmade changes in the landscape, others have vanished with the fall of mighty empires on either side. Eberhard’s photographs, supplemented by in-depth captions, help us to grasp the protean puzzle of the world’s cartography. In a time of mass migration, border walls and spreading nationalism, they reveal the inherent instability of these man-made demarcations.

Donation
A portion of the proceeds (2€ for each copy) will benefit “No Border Kitchen Lesvos” who gives out food-boxes and meals (approximately 200 a day) to migrants living in Mytilini, Greece that don’t receive any support from other sources.
No Border Kitchen Lesvos is a self-organised group of independent individuals who maintain a solidarity structure on the Greek Island of Lesvos. The main purpose of the collective is to support travellers who are unable to progress with their journey due to European migratory policies.

We all live our lives to the tireless tick of the clock. We measure our experiences by neatly allocated portions of time, against which a linear and progressive narrative is naturally applied. Within this structure, going back is impossible. It is only possible to move forwards; to evolve; to age; eventually to expire. But what if this idea we have of linear time is wrong?

In this issue we speak with artists who reverse, recycle or stop the clock altogether. Some look to the most emotional connection we have with time, relating to our own age and mortality, and share both the personal experience of enduring beyond a doctor-decreed life expectancy and the private moments of midlife. We also question how history changes and reshapes itself as the years go by, and highlight the cyclical nature of social and cultural norms.

In Artmix, we meet a practising artist from every point of life, from under ten years old to almost one hundred. Luchita Hurtado, Alex Da Corte, Lynda Benglis, Monster Chetwynd and more share their hopes and dreams, wisdom and memories, and tell us how their age affects their practice.

In our Paper Galleries, we delve into the “coming of age” experience around the world, featuring three artists—Luo Yang (who is also our cover star), Mohamed Bourouissa and Neil Drabble—who capture the heady and at times confronting nature of moving between teenage years and adulthood. We also present the paintings of Hortensia Mi Kafchin, who visualizes the physical and psychological process of transitioning, and delves deep into the human experience, which is shown as both painful and uplifting in different moments.

History informs and foregrounds numerous artists in our Encounters: Mickalene Thomas talks about the political punch of the 1970s, Faith Ringgold tells us how she turns past trauma into optimism, and Danh Vo explains how he throws heavily symbolic cultural icons out-of-sync. Also, Carrie Mae Weems shares her hopes for a more positive future and Sol Calero discusses the cultural responsibility of decoration.

In Journal, Mary McCartney cooks lunch for Rose Wylie in her magical home and studio, Charlotte Jansen writes about why she no longer wants to celebrate birthdays and Federico Florian asks whether airports are the ultimate “in-between” space. Last but by no means least, we pose 10 Questions to British designer Molly Goddard, and find out her favourite joke.

Besides providing botanical content in a simple, personal and cozy way; The Plant offers plant lovers a new look at greenery by featuring the works of many creative people who share our love for plants.

As a curious observer of ordinary plants and other greenery, the magazine presents a monograph on a specific plant; bringing together photographers, illustrators, designers, musicians, writers and visual artists, both established and emerging, from all over the world.

These people share with The Plant their unique perceptions and experiences of plants.

Toiletpaper

Toiletpaper is an artists’ magazine created and produced by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, born out of a passion or obsession they both cultivate: images. The magazine contains no text; each picture springs from an idea, often simple, and through a complex orchestration of people it becomes the materialization of the artists’ mental outbursts. Since the first issue, in June 2010, ‘Toiletpaper’ has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination. It combines the vernacular of commercial photography with twisted narrative tableaux and surrealistic imagery. The result is a publication that is itself a work of art, which, through its accessible form as a magazine, and through its wide distribution, challenges the limits of the contemporary art economy.

Our three cover players, who each open a door to a different kind of playfulness, feature a human in deepdream, an avatar in hack mode, and a watermelon monster dressed up for an Unbirthday Party. SOFA’s funniest and deepest dispatch so far, our 4th issue captures the essential zeitgeist that everyone is longing for.

In a moment in time when adulting has never felt more urgent, and also frightening, IT’S PLAYTIME! puts culture in a headlock, wrestles playfully with childlikeness, games, new ideas, political strategies, brattiness, social media, slime, nostalgia, dark fantasies and paths to joy, in order to offer up fun as a soothsayer.

Here we are at a turning point—when the world is melting and teenagers are death staring world leaders, and demanding policy change. While LOLing (because we have to, it gives hope) and orbiting the newest frontiers of TikTok revenge, word games, ass augmentation and psychological analysis while microdosing, IT’S PLAYTIME! uncovers life below the surface of social media bravado. We float through fantasy rooms, go on dates with a clown, explore identity and mental health in alternate virtual worlds, and give voice to the thoughts and feelings of loud, restless, thoughtful youth culture in its crisis of consciousness.
