Don't miss the latest issue of tema celeste! Offering a lively, in-depth
look at the international contemporary art scene, the March/April 2002
issue, now available at newsstands and fine bookstores, features a
striking cover reproduction from Lee's Season, a recent video work by
rising Swiss artist Emmanuelle Antille, whose exclusive interview
appears inside.
Editor Simona Vendrame's conversation with William Kentridge provides a
sneak preview of the complex and revealing project the renowned South
African artist is preparing for Manifesta 4. On the other side of the
Atlantic, Los Angeles artist Paul McCarthy, in a rare interview,
addresses the influence of Americana on his distinct oeuvre. Art
historian David Hopkins explores how Weegee inspired Warhol, and Amelia
Jones argues that contemporary African-American artists are creating
work that is anything but "post-black." Curator Giorgio Verzotti
describes Francesco Vezzoli's lavishly embroidered video installations,
ripe with references to cinema, music, literature, and pop culture. In
other interviews, artist Jason Middlebrook explores the intersection of
art and architecture, while Patrick Tuttofuoco talks about his dramatic
performances in and around Milan.
In addition to the magazine's regular "Self-Portraits" section
(featuring artists Alexandra Ranner, Adrià Julià, Federico
Pietrella, and the ELASTIC group of artistic research); profiles of
Lucas Samaras, Catherine Opie, Ross Bleckner, and Antony Gormley; and an
"Observatory" piece on actor/filmmaker Vincent Gallo's latest foray into
music, this issue offers the first installment of tema celeste's
"Survey," an ongoing forum in which artists, curators, critics, and
gallerists address crucial questions in the field of contemporary art.
And there's more! Coverage of news, exhibitions, important publications,
Web sites, and the art market make tema celeste THE essential guide to
the contemporary art world. For daily updates, visit http://www.temaceleste.com
