“The scene in 𝑆𝑘𝑖𝑛 𝐹𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘 of a neo-Nazi skinhead jerking off over a dog-eared copy of 𝑀𝑒𝑖𝑛 𝐾𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑓 is not crude 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑟𝑖: it all depends on the context, and how it is conveyed stylistically and cinematically.” – @BruceLaBruce shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
“There’s no denying that I am a Goddess. But this female power must be something real, not just a fantasy.” Dominatrix @rebamaybury feat. Donald Rodney, @AnnieSprinkle @MariaBeattyfilm Sylvester, Hubert & Jan van Eyck, and Tove Ditlevsen shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
“A poetics of shame is at painting’s essence: what is shown, what should be, and who controls the means of representation.” – Aodhan Madden on Hamishi Farah shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
“This is robes-off neoliberalism - not clothed in abstract principles of reciprocal exchange, but bare and unapologetic praise of accumulation. What’s yours is yours, and fuck anyone who tries to take it.” – Quinn Slobodian shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
Do you miss the old web and its endless imaginaries? @LILINTERNET does, too. In May, he delivered a kind of eulogy for a bygone era at Vienna Digital Cultures, curated by @nadimsamman. A video of his lecture is online! spikeartmagazine.com/articles/vienn…
“In May, @pmarca debuted a new brand identity, one more 𝐺𝑎𝑡𝑠𝑏𝑦-meets-𝐹𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑 in the Peloponnesian War of Robot Overlords – plausibly the prompt someone fed @grok to output this hokum.” – @Adina Glickstein on Neo-Futurism spikeartmagazine.com/articles/user-…
“The sport [@NASCAR] is brash and eccentric, its star drivers feud, swear, espouse uncomfortable politics, and occasionally die in flames.” – British chef @JagoRackham at the @RiverheadRacewy shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…

“The option to willfully paint as “bad as possible” – think punk’s ‘fuck three chords when one is already too much’ attitude, applied to painting – opened the floodgates for long-dispensed figurative styles.” – HJ Hafner on 𝑁𝑒𝑢𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑒 𝐵𝑖𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑟 shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
You've asked me to do a show at @ICALondon - fuck your building. I'm gonna make my own within yours because I'm not interested in engaging with the historical fuckeries that come with it. – R.I.P. Germain to Hannah Black shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
“Politicians inhabit spaces disconnected from the masses, where substantive debate is discouraged. They increasingly form a corporation, marked not by ideological divisions, but by their separation from the citizenry.” – @Alex__1789 shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
“The Vulgar Image reflects the artificial and desireless qualities of the present. It is pornography for a society that is losing its lust.” – @deankissick shop.spikeartmagazine.com/products/issue…
