Der Greif 18 — Tomorrow is Today — Hank Willis Thomas

 

Der Greif has invited internationally celebrated conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, supported by Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, to guest-edit Issue 18.

 

Under the theme “TOMORROW IS TODAY”, this issue confronts the “now” to shape a conscious future. What if tomorrow were already here? What if today was our last chance to choose love over hate, action over apathy, community over chaos?

Through crowdsourcing, Der Greif brings together diverse voices and provides a platform and visibility for a range of practitioners and their works. Since 2008, Der Greif has engaged with topics like changing authorship perceptions, image de- and re-contextualization, appropriation, and artistic approaches to photographic archives and remix culture.

 

Der Greif's publications demonstrate how pairings of images by different authors can generate new meanings. Der Greif explores the creation, distribution, and reception of images - in print, on screens, and in exhibitions. The organization reflects on and questions the role of images: how we construct and perceive our environment and our respective responsibilities within it.
