Winter 2024 Art CommissionsFebruary 14, 2025 8:00 AMThere is a private, far away world that artists return to time and time again. Its parameters, molded in childhood and chiseled away in practice. Like the natural landscape, it is always shifting, eroding, and regenerating anew. We can see it, too, eyes closed: a snow capped mountain, an ancient organism, our body, cosmic. Eyes open, gaze fixed, it is a coil on a vine, a statue, light streaming from a window.

In Querétaro, Mexico, craft is a way of life. Colorful embroidered flowers and ancient, geometric patterns can be seen across clothing, tiles, and home decor. Passed down by generations, these motifs communicate the land’s history, ecology, and ancestral wisdom. In this spirit, a group of women in their mid-20s will gather around a table with colorful yarn ready to be made into rag dolls, embroidered patches, and clothing.

There is an empathy in Kobe Wagstaff’s images. Their subjects, often in states of vulnerability, are at ease in front of their lens, baring their souls. The LA-based photographer has always been interested in the customs and inner lives of others. Growing up in the Mormon Church of Utah, they remember how a hashbrown casserole was baked to console those grieving. “The women of the church would make this meal after funeral services for the family members who had an individual pass.

A crowd mingles over craft cocktails and canapés at the Sanasaryan Han hotel in Istanbul, moving between the upbeat interior of the sleek restaurant Sini and its open-air terrace as rain gently falls. In the middle of the room, two dessert tables draw partygoers in—like bees to a flower, they gather around a decadent, domed cake infused with cherry and fig filling.

After Luca Guadagnino finished William S. Burroughs’ 1985 novel Queer as a teenager, the director could not put it out of his head.The book is slim, unfinished, and thinly veiled as fiction. Anchored in 1950s Mexico City, it reflects the writer’s time in Central America and his relationship with both heroin and a younger expat student. Its wonderfully strange nature attracted Guadagnino, who first set out to adapt it for the screen at 21, and now, more than 30 years later is doing so by way of A24.

“Such is the power of travestis, we attract the gazes of the world,” wrote Camila Sosa Villada in Bad Girls. “No one can escape the allure of a man dressed as a woman, the faggots who go too far, the degenerates everyone stares at.” In the 2019 novel, in which a pink house is the main axis of a reeling band of trans sexworkers, house mother Auntie Encarna is a matriarch to society’s castaways, including a literal infant she rescues from a ditch.
