Labor of Love: Lauren O’Neill-Butler on the art of fierce pussy
“fierce pussy’s speech is always excitable, its politics always performative and ahead of the curve.”
–Lauren O’Neill-Butler
The Invisible Village: Sasha Frere-Jones on the music of John Zorn
“Even if someone is creating sound by rubbing a matchbox against a drum head, that creation represents both a value and a choice. Whether composed or improvised, such notes are strikes against death, laid out in time.”
–Sasha Frere-Jones
Forces of Nature: Graham Bader on the art of Thomas Struth
“These notations are reminders of the excesses and imperfections—above all, those of the body’s own processes and desires—that lurk at the heart of technological reason.”
–Graham Bader
Return to Sender: David Teh’s dispatch from Thailand
“Thailand’s artists, like its popular culture, have run the gamut from slavish devotion to ingenious (and ironic) integration, but the rejection of foreign styles or techniques has never been their thing.”
–David Teh

She Could Have Been A Cowboy
By Anja Niemi
In her latest series, She Could Have Been A Cowboy, Anja Niemi continues her investigations of the self. This time she turns the lens to a life lived under the constraints of conformity. Every day her fictional character finds herself trapped in the same pink dress, but what she really wants is to be a cowboy, dressed in fringe and leather, riding horses in the Wild West. Through this series of photographs with multiple layers and possible interpretations, Niemi delivers her most political work to date.
“The story is not really about being a cowboy. It’s about wanting to be another.” Anja Niemi
Niemi continues to work alone, photographing, staging and acting out the characters in all of her images.
The book is an edition of 200 and contains a fold-out map and poster as well as a poem by Lena Niemi, sister of Anja.
