Rarely do you find a magazine that dedicates an entire issue to a single gallery. Beautiful/Decay finds profound exception in Deitch Projects. From the beginning, Deitch has focused on producing ambitious projects by contemporary artists. Ten years later, the gallery is still challenging boundaries in the art world.
An exclusive interview with Jeffrey Deitch, the virtuoso behind Deitch Projects, lends insight to the rebellious nature of the gallery and fascinating history of New York art. Founder and Creative Director of Beautiful/Decay, Amir H. Fallah, sits down with San Franciscos legendary graffiti artist Barry McGee aka Twist who in an interview ten years earlier, inadvertently inspired the very name Beautiful/Decay.
Also featured is fashion designer Jeremy Scott, who extends an first- hand peephole view into his unabashed Sexybition and forthcoming book of the same title.
Issue Q is a masterfull collection of some of Deitch Projects most provocative and influential artists, affiliates, designers, musicians, and fashion designers including interviews and artlicles with NYC brand & record label aNYthing, Brazilian graffiti heroes Os Gemeos, the photography of Noritoshi Hirakawa, the paintings of Brad Kahlhamer, elite New York design firm Work In Progress, NYC pop performance artists Fischerspooner, The Scissor Sisters, and coverage of the NYC Art Parade.
This issue represents the path of Beautiful/Decay coming full-circle, to be able to collaborate with the artist who inspired the name and the gallery that has inspired the mission of the magazine. In short, this issue is the most meaningful issue Beautiful/Decay has published to date.
