Martin Coomer studied painting at Falmouth and then Chelsea College
of Art, but became distracted by writing about, rather than making, art.
From 2000 to 2005 he was Assistant Visual Art Editor of Time Out London
and now contributes to ArtReview, Modern Painters, Art on Paper and The
Big Issue, teaches a bit and is trying to get back into the studio. For
this issue he quizzed Swedish painter Karin Mamma Andersson on everything
from childhood memories to the ins and outs of her working day.
Chiaki Sakaguchi is a Tokyo-based writer, editor and curator, who
also publishes the art journal VOID Chicken. All of which made her
the perfect person to write this month’s Art Pilgrimage to Tokyo.
Tyler Coburn is a New York-based creative type with an incorrigibly
English sensibility, having honed his literary chops at Yale University
and his artworld know-how over repeated sojourns in London. Coburn’s videos
have screened at a variety of venues, including MTV2, Whitechapel Art
Gallery, Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive, AMODA (Austin Museum of
Digital Art) and Galapagos (Brooklyn, NY). The fellow habitually succumbs
to the pleasures of freezer-frozen waffles and can often be found hoofing it
over the Brooklyn–Queens Pulaski Bridge. In addition to writing criticism,
he also knows how to take a cracking photo at down-and-dirty art happenings,
as evidenced by his contribution to this month’s On the Town pages.
Notable facts about cover-photographer Paul Wetherell include being born
in Sevenoaks, Kent, and owning a cheeky Jack Russell terrier. He has also
recently contributed to 032c, Self Service and Arena Homme Plus, and has
had his work included in the exhibitions Airmail Clothing, with Hussein
Chalayan at the Louvre, Paris, and Porn at the Proud Gallery, London.
This month’s ArtReview assignment involved capturing a prolific gang
of artists - contributing to Hans Ulrich Obrist and Philippe Parreno’s
Il Tempo del Postino - in mid-rehearsal.
Marcel Dzama, the creator of this month’s Strip, is a New York-based
artist who first achieved notoriety as the most prominent member of the
Royal Art Lodge, a collective of Winnipeg-based artists brought together
by the long winter nights and a love for drawing. He has since become one
of contemporary art’s brightest stars, making films and drawings - where
bears and tree people might be placed in political or sexual tableaux
– which are as kooky as they are darkly suggestive. He will exhibit new
works of film and sculpture at Oficina para Proyectos de Arte (OPA) in
Guadalajara, Mexico. He is represented by Timothy Taylor in London and by
David Zwirner in New York, where he will exhibit new works in April 2008.
