Sixteen Journal / 14

An entire issue dedicated to The Photographic Gesture

 

In this new volume, Sixteen turns its gaze to the porous frontier between photography and contemporary art. From the poetic traces of Cy Twombly to Barbara Kruger’s layered prints and the typological visions of Ed Ruscha, the issue explores photography not as documentation, but as an extension of artistic consciousness.

 

Across generations and geographies, Volume Fourteen brings together artists who approach the camera as gesture, residue, and thought—where the image becomes both mirror and instrument. Rather than representing the world, these works reshape it, blurring the boundaries between performance, sculpture, painting, and photography.

Contributing artists:

Ed Ruscha, Jo Ann Callis, Barbara Kruger, Yoko Ono, Jan Groover, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Malerie Marder, Lenora De Barros, Cruz Zimmer, Jess Ruby James, Clay Perry, Michael Bailey-Gates, Ellsworth Kelly, Jerry McMillan, Tealia Ellis Ritter, Joe Lai, François Halard, Agnieszka Sosnowska, Erinn Springer, Laurel Thoma, Georgia O’Keeffe, Caleb Stein, Gianfranco Gorgoni, Shawn Lakin, Victoire Simonney, Matthew Joseph, Joseph Beuys, Louise Bourgeois, Chuck Close, Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and Richard Serra.
