For the cover image of Issue 01: The Aesthetics and Politics of Intimacy, the editors asked New York-based artist Andrea Geyer to contribute with an image of her ongoing series of poster drawings Out of Sorts. These works were originally commissioned in 2008 by the “Queer Festival Zagreb: Crime, Sexuality and Gender” curated by Leonida Kovac.
Andrea Geyer uses both fiction and documentary strategies in her image and text based works in which the influences of national, gender and class specific implications in the context of a permanent re-adjustment of cultural meanings and social memories are rendered visible. Solo shows in 2008 are at Galerie Hohenlohe, Vienna; Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne, RedCat Los Angeles and the TATE Modern, London (with Thorne, Sander, Hunt, Hayes). Recent group shows include Athens Biennal, Everything has a Name or the Potential of being named, Gasworks, London, Torino Triennale, Turin, Greenroom, Hessel Museum, Bard College, documenta12, Kassel; Exil des Imaginären, Generali Foundation, Vienna; The American Effect, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
