Frog 16, October 2016

Frog 16 hits the newsstands in October, 2016.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster—as Sarah Bernhardt—is on the cover, photographed for Frog by Giasco Bertoli.

In this issue, we have a special focus over 50 pages on DOMINIQUE GONZALEZ-FOERSTER, with a review of her show at the Pompidou by Frog’s chief editor ERIC TRONCY, photographs of her M.2062 performance by GIASCO BERTOLI, while MARINA FAUST shot the stage curtain she designed for the Vienna Opera.
GRANT WAHLQUIST also discusses JIM SHAW’s exhibitions at the New Museum in New York and at MassMoCA; VANESSA PLACE makes comparisons between ALEX ISRAEL and BRET EASTON ELLIS common show in Hollywood and JORDAN WOLFSON’s one in New York; and our beloved associate editor NOELLIE ROUSSEL also publishes here her long essay “Burgers, sausage fest and conformism: why French art sucks”—the title says it all!

Flavien Menu interviews Dyvik Kahlen architects in London, while Frog’s associate editor for architecture Antoine Espinasseau photographed their building in The Netherlands. In addition, read our interviews with Roberto Cuogghi, Matali Crasset, Diana Thater, Melike Kara, and Christian Rosa.

We also devote 30 pages to French artist Lili Reynaud Dewar who talks with Lucas Leclere; her performances in Memphis and at Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich are featured with a special photo spread.

As always, photographs in Frog are commissioned especially and exclusively for us: see the 20-page spread artist Tobias Madison realized for Frog at Isa Genzken’s show in Amsterdam… and much more!
