uxtapoz is excited to announce our FALL 2024 Quarterly, the fourth in a series of special issues celebrating our 30th anniversary as an independently published art and culture magazine. This issue features a cover story with San Francisco-based Koak, as she embarks on a major solo show in Paris during the fall exhibition season.
This issue takes seriously conversations about respect and appreciation for cultural heritage. There are conversations about the politics of landscape painting in the West Bank with Palestinian-American painter Saj Issa. Sickid explores graffiti and first-generation immigrant heritage. Wendy Red Star dedicates her practice to the Apsáalooke in southern Montana, Glasgow’s Hannah Wilson thinks in the subtle, cinematic imagery, and Abram Jackson explains how museums embody these concepts. In the spirit of this issue, we learn the real-life experience and perspective of Canadian painter Natia Lemay, who first entered a gallery space when she was 33 years old.
This may end up being a pivotal fall for many of us. As Juxtapoz ends its 30th year, we are reminded that the artists speak not only from a personal perspective but with a reverence for what is beautifully universal. Perfect harmony.
Featured artists in FALL 2024 include Koak, Sickid, Hannah Wilson, Wendy Red Star, Elizabeth Glaessner, Saj Issa, Joseph Olisaemeka Wilson, Meegan Barnes, Mars-1, Natie Lemay, Pia Paulina Guilmoth, a spotlight on the contemporary art movement in Mexico, the history of color at Winsor & Newton, and a conversation with the Director of Interpretation at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Abram Jackson.
