World Art

Vol. 1 No. 1

G+B Arts International, 1994, colour photographs and advertisements throughout, paperback magazine publication

Very Good Condition, a little edge and shelf wear, a little rubbing and bumping to edges and corners, a little creasing and chipping to covers, no inscriptions (see photographs)

“In this issue we look at the mechanical extensions of Sterlarc, the tattoo practice of eX de Medici, the self-inflicted plastic surgical transformations  of Orlan into ‘a living work of art’, and the gender-based performances of Karen Finley and Linda Sproul.  Gender has become mainstream creative fodder these days.  But we also ask just how the new fantasies of hyper-masculinity affect culture at a time when the body has nearly become its own academic discipline and Michael Faucault virtually a household name.”
