ISSUE NO. 27 PERFORMANCE
What does performance mean to us in a world of mediated presence? It’s easy to look at performance as a departure from authenticity, as an act of pretense. Yet every social interaction is operating on some level of performativity: from the way we text or the clothes we wear, the impression we make on others is manipulated by our conscious act of self-creation. The act of putting on a show is thus not distancing from authenticity, but it can glean us into the very heart of life, existence, and its contended truths.
Issue No. 27: Performance features 10 artists, 8 spotlight artists, and 30 emerging photographers including Rashaad Newsome, Malick Sidibé, Alec Soth, Michael Avedon, and Marilyn Minter. The issue asks what the significance of performance might mean for these individual artists’ own relationship with themselves and the world.
