C& Magazine #5: The Interview Issue
<p>Welcome to our Interview Issue. On 48 pages, the 5th edition of our biannual print magazine reflects what we at Contemporary And (C&) do most of the time: discuss and connect – with artists, curators, critics, academics, directors, and cultural entrepreneurs.</p> <p>In this issue, Brooklyn-based artist ruby onyinyechi amanze explains why she won’t be making art about where she’s from. Sean O’Toole meets the emerging South African curators Nomusa Makhubu, Nkule Mabaso, and Amy Watson to talk about the theory and practice of exhibition making. This year’s curator of the 6th Marrakech Biennale, Reem Fadda, points out the necessity of solidarity and empowerment in a turbulent world. And Los Angeles–based Martine Syms tells us how Sol LeWitt’s thoughts (“The idea becomes the machine that makes the art”) influenced her practice.</p> <p>Once again we look back, this time on a beautiful conversation between Yvette Mutumba, Ciraj Rassool, and the legendary South African artist Peter Clarke, shortly before his death in 2014. And Senga Nengudi, one of the core members of the 1970s African-American avant-garde – which included artists such as David Hammons – remembers hanging out at happenings with Claes Oldenburg and Robert Rauschenberg.</p>
