We speak aloud and into our technology, sometimes in ways we actually may not be brave enough to do so in the world. I think that it is one of the greatest paradoxes about the digital, right now. —Legacy Russell
Issue no.18 of Extra Extra magazine is now out in the world. The magazine, devoted to urban erotic encounters, features 208 pages of long-read interviews, commissioned essays and enchanting art and photography. Welcoming you with a series of erotic short stories, the volume brings together a good 40 creative makers and artists—who we consider some of the most challenging voices of today—each expressing their daring and endearing perspectives on how we live together.
The spring/summer issue presents the architectural studio expanding from the tender to the coercive, from the ironic to the dramatic, Studio Ossidiana talks with James Taylor-Foster about how they represent and produce ideas of nature. Curator and writer Fatos Üstek is in conversation with Legacy Russell on asking somatic questions, playfulness, engaging with levity, and glitch bodies. In our recurring feature Tentacular Thinking, we give the floor to Emmanuel Iduma, who moves through the analogous rituals of writing and walking in a meditation on passages.
Also featuring:
Georgian filmmaker Dea Kulumbegashvili speaks candidly with Caitlin Quinlan on tales of coarseness and sorrow in a small community. Persis Bekkering interviews choreographer Florentina Holzinger on vitality and transcending the double death of the dancer. In the essay Notes on Longing, writer Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ ponders the nature of touching and closeness in distanced times. While artist Lindsey Mendick faces destructive desire with Natasha Hoare. Swaying along to a pulsating beat, writer Seb Emina revels in cyclical movements and dancing in unison, in the feature Attractions. We invite you to reserve a bit of time to immerse yourself in work by two photographers we admire deeply: find photographer Pieter Hugo’s mesmerizing portraiture and Myriam Boulos’ quest for tenderness, both unflinching and unforgettable. A recurring feature is the “Extra Reading,” as we believe that recommending books is an inherently sexual act. This issue, it’s on detective stories. Also, there is a special, one of a kind 16-page stunning visual contribution—a flaccid intermezzo—by Koen Taselaar.
