THE MAY ISSUE IS OUT NOW

As the initial shock at the outcome of last November's presidential election gives way to outrage, this issue turns to art not as escape, but as resistance. Lotus L. Kang, our cover artist, reflects on living in-between histories and geographies in a profile by Simon Wu. In conversation, Nairy Baghramian and Julie Mehretu frame friendship as resilience and art as a way forward. Our dossier highlights three New York galleries - Francis Irv, Soft Network, and Kaje - reimagining the art space amid chaos. Our world is a mess, and it will get messier, but art can still do something about it.

Available now online and in-stores. Hit the link in bio.

Julia Fullerton-Batten is a fine-art photographer renowned for her highly cinematic visual story-telling. Each image in the project embellishes her subject matter in a series of thought-provoking narrative ‘stories' using staged tableaux and sophisticated lighting techniques. She insinuates visual tensions in her images and imbues them with a mystique that teases the viewer into continually re-examining the picture; something new coming to the fore each time.
