“Through the wall of windows behind the actors, you can see the glowing neon casino signs that earned the area its nickname, “Glitter Gulch.” The same year the movie was released, this five-block precinct was turned into the Fremont Street Experience, a pedestrian mall that’s like a time capsule from a lost era – those last, lovely years before cell phones, email, and social media, when experiences were still IRL.” Read Amanda Fortini”s essay on Las Vegas in Spike #84 – Vulgartity. Out now!

Available in our online store and in magazine- and specialized bookstores around the globe.

“Vulgarity is an unstable thing; it slips, it morphs, it migrates across time and context, trading exhaustion for resuscitation and back again in infinite return. Things once considered obscene often find new purchase in recontextualization, and though our citizens almost inevitably fail to benefit from the bankrupt promises of American class mobility, our national tastes do not. Appetites once deemed verboten have found new currency in a culture so starved for novelty that even the sentimental souvenirs of traditionalism or the detritus of transgression will do; from baby oil slathered s*x trafficking and the cultivation of a decadent Ketamin addiction, to pronatalists and the theatrical embrace of pre-Vatican II Catholicism, we find ourselves confronted with a phrase that nearly two centuries ago offered itself as both proposition and directive: Épater les bourgeois (to shock the respectable, middle-class citizens) …”

“Co***ne is a bitch. You become a tedious person almost straight away – suddenly rattling off half-baked thoughts on topics you only mildly care about to people you couldn’t care less about. A few months of regular use go by before you start receiving frantic messages from quasi-strangers you had your last vodka with just a few hours earlier, suggesting a ski trip in the Alps and vowing to reach your doorstep in less than half an hour. After a few years, if you’re stubborn and not yet bankrupt, you’ll either spend an evening in the same house where fi****ms are stashed somewhere upstairs – or you’ll blow through your entire stash alone, eyes glazed over a video game. But cocaine’s effects – talkativeness, boldness, euphoria – are also dangerously well-suited to a sector that remains, to a certain extent, pre-industrial. Unlike film, music, or literature, it’s arguably hard to stay hyped – or au fait – with contemporary art’s latest trends from a distance. Art demands physical presence – openings, fairs, and the like – for it to sustain a healthy portion of your cultural diet. Even more so for professionals, where every dinner is a potential deal, every friendship a career move, and every conversation both a snappy catch-up and professional audition.

Rob Pruitt’s Co***ne Buffet (1998) made this dynamic literal: the work consists of a sixteen-foot mirror laid horizontally on the floor of The Fifth International, an artist-run space in New York’s Meatpacking District, its surface covered by a pristine line of white powder running down its center. Visitors were invited to partake ...”

Christelle Oyiri is a DJ, music producer, writer, and artist who uses various languages to scrutinize the role of entertainment in the experience of Black suffering. How is (any) Black culture an emanation of suffering, but also a means to cope with it? What happens when pain and escapism are intertwined? These questions lead to an aesthetic of “mixed feelings,” of emotional ambivalence, where paradox and contradiction are held in constant tension. With Oyiri, seduction is always at play – through form, through theme. Yet that seduction always leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Parallel to Black portraiture’s shifting fortunes, Melbourne born artist Hamishi Farah has been challenging the idea that making the figure visible dignifies its subject, all while airing art’s dirty secret: that an image’s meaning is often “spoken” by whether or not it sells. Aodhan Madden’s portrait of the artist is in Spike 84 – Vulgarity. OUT NOW via our webshop and bookstores worldwide!

“[…]I find the sentimental quite repulsive, the New Age regressive, and a belief in star signs a judgmental prison. The culture most important and inspiring to me has always had some sort of guttural base to it, and perhaps that emotional grittiness has its own kind of spiritual prowess. Based on these thoughts, I would like to present you with some works that I find both unsentimental and very fun. Works that, in their own strange way, wrangle with the spiritual – leaving me feeling totally alive.”

With Donald Rodney; Annie Sprinkle and Maria Beatty; Sylvester, Private Recordings; Hubert and Jan van Eyck, The Ghent Altarpiece, 1432; Tove Ditlevsen, Dependency (Gift), 1971
