With the support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Miss Tiger’s curatorial research utilizes an ethnographic methodology emphasizing the critical analysis of the male nude photography featured in Blueboy magazine — viewing it not simply as ephemeral material or pornography, but as a legitimate form of visual art. To facilitate this research, Miss Tiger is curating an exhibition around the archive of Blueboy magazine, emphasizing the significance of the magazine’s principal photography and its impact on complex issues related to cultural identity, community dynamics, and societal frameworks.

“The terrific range of project proposals we receive each year speaks to the mobile and porous disciplinary boundaries of contemporary art practice, and to the rich and inventive ways writers approach art today. They are alert to the urgent need to expand the conventions of art history and criticism with ideas from other discourses, such as black studies, transnational and diaspora studies, gender and women’s studies, and LGBT studies. The work of lesser known and overlooked artists and art communities continues to be mined, with writers articulating new ways to counter the striking imbalances of race, class and gender that continue to affect the arts and the culture industry.”
