Camila Belchior, who has written this month’s Art Pilgrimage to São Paulo,
made her professional entrance into the artworld in New York, at the
Guggenheim Museum, in 2001. She has since returned to her native Brazil,
where she is involved in projects central to raising São Paulo’s profi le in
the national, regional and international artworlds, including the last two
biennials. She writes for magazines in Brazil and abroad.
Killoffer contributes Loop – a meditation on how comic strips deal with
space, action and time passing – to this month’s Strip. The Paris comic
artist’s experimental style has won him a cult following in Europe, where
his anarchic approach to narrative structure and biography are in sharp
contrast to the more standardised mainstream of European comic art. Loop is
commissioned in association with the Hayward Gallery touring exhibition Cult
Fiction: Art and Comics, at UK venues throughout the year.
Mauro Restiffe graduated in fi lm from FAAP University in São Paulo and studied
photography at the International Center of Photography in New York. Mauro has
had many solo shows in galleries and institutions in Brazil and the US,
and has participated in group shows worldwide, including the 2006 São Paulo
and Taipei biennials. He is featured in the recently published Vitamin Ph
(Phaidon). This month he photographed São Paulo’s art scene.
Katje Rahlwes was born in Germany in 1967 (Katje asked the we place an
asterisk by this date – we’re not sure why). For this issue she visited
Tara Donovan in her New York studio and managed to shoot our cover before
the place started falling down around her.
Jason Oddy is a writer and artist, and this month he wears both caps in
an article on war photography and an accompanying portfolio of subtly and
not-so-subtly altered exemplars of the genre. An exhibition of Jason’s work,
Turning Things Round, will be at Catalyst Arts, Belfast, until 25 July.
Michael Bracewell, who this month wrote our story on Pop art legend Richard
Hamilton, is the author of six novels and two works of nonfi ction.
He has written extensively on contemporary art, most recently contributing
an essay for Gilbert & George’s Major Exhibition at Tate Modern. His latest
book, Re-Make/Re-Model: Art, Pop, Fashion and the Making of Roxy Music,
1953 - 1972 (Faber & Faber, October 2007), has been written with the
assistance of Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Richard Hamilton and many others.
