Roger Deckker was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Sydney.
He got serious with photography during his schooldays and
has never looked back. Roger has lived in London for the last
10 years, creating striking fashion images infused with ethereal
delicacy and surreal drama for such magazines as i-D, Self
Service and 032c. He says his work keeps him free to explore,
and for this issue he photographed the iconic choreographer and
dancer Michael Clark.
Astrid Mania is a Berlin-based independent writer, curator
and tutor with a PhD in Art History. She was Visiting Curator
to the MA programme Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal
College of Art, London, in 2004–5. As a writer for various
international publications and catalogues, she has recently
contributed to, among others, Institutional Critique & After,
edited by John Welchman. She is a regular writer in these pages
as well, and this month gives her view of the summer show at
Johann König, Berlin. Her latest curatorial project was A
Product of Free Will at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein.
Joining Art Review’s crack team of critics is artist and
writer Alasdair Hopwood. Al was a promising footballer at an
early age, but injury took its toll, which is great, because
he then decided to get into art instead, rising to the dizzy
heights of arts editor for the notorious London style magazine
Sleazenation. A man with a healthy sense of the ridiculous,
Al is now the evil genius behind the satirical art/self-
help organisation WITH (withyou.co.uk) – a provider of ‘life
enhancement solutions’ for the existential shortcomings
of contemporary urban life – with recent presentations
at London’s Hayward Gallery and ICA. This month he
contributes a review of Neil Boorman’s Bonfire of the Brands.
Craig Burnett has written for many an art magazine and plenty
of other joints too, from GQ Style to The Times Literary
Supplement. His book on Jeff Wall, which Blueprint magazine
called ‘an aesthetic and intellectual pleasure’, is published
by Tate. For this issue Craig interviewed the 2007 Cartier
Award recipient, Marcio Garcia Torres.
New Yorker Joshua Mack is seen here in what is, apparently,
the only digital photo he has of himself, snapped on a cruise
ship in the Antarctic a couple of Christmases ago. When he’s
not living the high life, Joshua contributes regularly to
ArtReview and Time Out New York. This month he writes on
Doris Salcedo, the latest artist commissioned to fill Tate
Modern’s Turbine Hall.
