Queer: Aperture 218 (Aperture Magazine, 218)

The Magazine of Photography and Ideas.

This edition of Aperture presents a mix of new photographic work exploring questions of queer identity, as well as past figures and projects that are the subject of new research and curatorial work.

In the Words section, Critic Vince Aletti, art historian Richard Meyer, and photographer Catherine Opie reflect on the term queer and its relationship with photography; Hal Fischer discusses his project Gay Semiotics with Julia Bryan-Wilson; Sophie Hackett revisits Joan E. Birenâ€™s seminal â€œDyke Showâ€; Shannon Michael Cane on queer independent publishing and zine culture; Philip Gefter on his discovery of Sam Wagstaffâ€™s never-before-seen photography and what it reveals about his storied relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe; and South African photographer Zanele Muholi speaks with Deborah Willis about her ongoing project to make her countryâ€™s LGBTQ community visible.

The Pictures section features William J. Simmons on Jimmy DeSanaâ€™s work from the late 1970s; Senam Okudzeto on Lyle Ashton Harrisâ€™s projects addressing colonial history and homophobia in Ghana; Stephanie H. Tung on Ren Hang, a rising star of contemporary Chinese photography who creates provocative imagery; Kevin Moore on the queer dimension of David Benjamin Sherryâ€™s colorful images of the American landscape, which reference icons of modernist photography; Andy Campbell on K8 Hardyâ€™s performance-based photography; Sophie MÃ¶rner on trans photographer Nitzan Krimskyâ€™s poignant self-documentation; Ana Finel Honigman on Dean Sameshimaâ€™s images created with appropriated vintage pornographic imagery; Dean Daderko on A.L. Steinerâ€™s antic and political photo-collages and installations; and Eva Respini considers Mark Morrisroeâ€™s fervent self-portraiture made during the 1980s.
