Pup & Tiger

Hey, checking in as trying to be more active here. We’ve got exciting things happening and trying to build more here rather than (ahem) meta for obvious reasons. Say hi, reach out, or amplify if inclined? -Jared A hint of what’s coming, by Alex Hetherington. #ArtSky #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt

Getting excited about our upcoming publication Queer States: Art/Writing/New Queerions. If you remember Thomas Arnold’s paintings from Soft Territories, he’s back instead with yearning/dreamy writing in He Would Like To Be Held. -Jared #ContemporaryArt #QueerArt #QueerLit #Zines #ArtWriting #ArtSky

So much copy editing and proofing but the new book has finally been sent off to the printer! Will have proofs back in a week. Very exciting.

A bit of a catchup with this, but more 'something we've been looking at': And thanks again Wayne! #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt #ArtSky #ArtWriting #QueerLit

What’s your current hyperfixation? Mine’s cluttered ephemera from shows that kinda ends up in stacks that become sort of art in itself (zines, flyers, cards). -Jared #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt #ArtSky

Something we’ve been looking at.

Was in Dublin a couple of weeks ago and came across PhotoIreland’s TLP Editions: photo zines, each focused on an artist’s body of work. Lovely model and great and affordable format @photoireland-org.bsky.social. Anyone familiar? -Jared photoireland.org/project/tlp-... #ArtSky #Photography #Zines

This is some amazing presses involved and an interesting model. Does anyone know more (but also have a look)?

From the Transmissions archive: Douglas A. Martin, Room of the Troubled One “I make my stacks upon tables and the floor, plans, towers and fans of others…” #QueerLit #QueerArt #ArtWriting #ContemporaryArt @douglasarthur.bsky.social pupandtiger.co.uk/art-and-arti...

“Stone circles, tunnels of earth, offerings on cairns suggest a choreography of quiet thresholds.” From the #PupandTiger archive: Brandon J. Barnard, Arc, from Soft Territories: Crossing One. #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #ContemporaryArt #QueerArt

Just realised that Dennis Cooper is doing a screening of his most recent film Room Temperature on Halloween in London? #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt #DennisCooper #ArtSky

What we are looking at: with its allusions to Canterbury Tales and landscape, The Eels Tale, Sam Williams ‘The Eel’s Tale offers a quieter and more ecologically entwined genius loci of ancient and material connection to the landscape.’ #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt #ArtSky #CanterburyArt

From the #PupandTiger archive: Lance Lin, The Endurer, from Soft Territories: Crossing One. “This project stemmed from my foot/footwear fetish. It dissects masculinity as a set of socially constructed attributes…” pupandtiger.co.uk/exhibitions/... #QueerArt #ContemporaryArt #ArtSky

“For me, filmmaking is more of a ritual or devotional practice of repeated attempts at capturing and escaping the frame.” -Wu Tsang #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #WuTsang #PupandTiger

“I turned down an offer to be in a coffee table book about the male nude because I don't want them being placed in that context too frequently. Their context is more mythological.” #ElijahBurgher  #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #PupandTiger

From the mouth of David Lynch… or was it David Duchovny?

“I don’t know if I am always succeeding, but these are the things that keep me in the studio.” - Cajsa von Zeipel #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #CajsavonZeipel

“In terms of my work I see myself as a very radical formalist.” - Nayland Blake #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #NaylandBlake @naylandblake

I've started making a playlist of trans artists on spotify. I figure if it can help other artists get discovered , or generally help bring a scene together, it can't be bad. If you have suggestions on who to add or if you'd like to be added, hmu. #trans #music open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q5...

“I think about that space when using expired stock of knowing that images might not appear and choosing the subject, I like that tendency toward the precarious and disappearing, about holding on and letting go.” - Alexander Hetherington #ContemporaryArt #AlexanderHetherington

“We know ourselves in relation to others, in our similarities and differences to others.“ - Christina Quarles #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #ChristinaQuarles

“Yes, those are images that at times collectively we become desensitized to, but those are not the images I’m addressing. I’m addressing those images that are hard to see.” - Sable Elyse Smith #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #SableElyseSmith

“Mottos are excess commitments that I don’t believe in.” - Richard Kilroy #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #RichardKilroy  @richardkilroy.bsky.social

This beautiful article encapsulates some of the queer experience in Turkey and Istanbul - it’s well worth a read for everyone, but perhaps in particular those who need some hope for queer resistance under theocratic authoritarianism these days. www.artforum.com/columns/kaya...

“This unpredictability allows for intimacy in the way that the work unfolds; their relations and affects leak out into the room” - Alex Baczynski-Jenkins #QueerArt #QueerCulture #ContemporaryArt #AlexBaczynski-Jenkins
