Kinfolk 59
Issue Fifty-Nine of Kinfolk considers the meaning of "clean" as a ritual, a feeling and an instinct. If you're starting to think about spring cleaning, you can read our longform essay, which examines how clean we really need to be; or else find solace in Dirty Habits, which turns its attention to the universal pockets of imperfection we all have--dead plants, missing mugs or a junk drawer. We chart the boom in public bathing culture among younger generations in Tokyo and ask five perfumers and an expert to identify what "clean" actually smells like. We also meet David Bronner, whose soap company has taken on a life of its own: a family business turned countercultural force. And while you may expect to see an issue full of "clean lines" and minimalist design, we instead speak to Leonard Koren, one of the world's leading aesthetes, who has an entirely different proposition. Elsewhere, we meet Jessie Ware--the down-to-earth, bluntly funny British pop star who turned her mother's weekly Friday night dinners for family and friends into a beloved podcast. Plus, our contributors spend time with a dry cleaner, a dermatologist and a saxophonist, ask whether culture is dead, and try to make sense of Theseus' paradox. Since 2011, Kinfolk has set the standard for independent publishing in art, design, aesthetics, architecture, homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers.

Heart to Art Comparative Analysis
Readers may ask why authors write art books. What is the benefit of this book and all my other art-themed books? Well, it is to document, not just for me, but for historical value, my life and the lives of all artists that I feature from a diverse category of famous and not-so-famous artists. Developing a track record of our work is essential not just for us but for the next generation of artists on the horizon. Recall that many artists gained fame and fortune after their time, long after their gravestones needed remodeling. Vincent van Gogh is one such artist who only sold one painting in his lifetime. His fame and fortune came through his wife and brother, his posthumous advocates who shone the spotlight on his works. Well, I am not waiting to die as there might not be activists ready and willing to take on such a challenge on my behalf, especially since I spent 20 years studying to be a business person, an educator, and not an artist of any measure. You, the readers, are my only hope. Go for it!

Yolŋu Power
Offers a comprehensive insight into a group of world-recognized and celebrated artistsThe art of Yirrkala is inextricably intertwined with its cultural, political, and social history. For almost one hundred years, artists from this small community in north-east Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory have shared art as a means of cultural diplomacy--as a respectful assertion of power in its diverse forms, from sovereignty to influence, authority, and control, to energy, strength, and pride.Published in association with a major survey at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Yolŋu Power features over two hundred works from the 1940s to the present day. It considers the significant moments in Yirrkala's history when artists have consciously altered their practice, developed new styles, or embraced new mediums. It also contextualizes the work of individual artists within the broader school of artists from Yirrkala and surrounding Miwatj Country. An essay by the exhibition's curator, Cara Pinchbeck, provides an overview of the various innovative art practices in Yirrkala, examining the influence of inheritance, family connections, and acts of diplomacy and activism. Djambawa Mariwili and Kade McDonald discuss the nuances of speaking for Country (land, sea, and sky), and Will Stubbs writes on the power embodied in Yolŋu art. The plates are interspersed with voices from Yirrkala, past and present, offering a range of perspectives on the visual culture of this important art center.Exhibition Dates: June 21-October 6, 2025 Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney

Saints and Santos: Picturing the Holy in New Spain
An exploration of how sacred art evolved in early Mexico, adapting to local cultures and featuring over sixty breathtaking paintings, sculptures, and engravings. This beautifully illustrated book reveals the importance of saints in New Spain, a viceroyalty that was part of the Spanish Empire from 1521 to 1821, covering modern-day Mexico, Central America, and the US Southwest. In the late sixteenth century, Rome's attempts to manage sanctity as an official process had a profound impact throughout Spain and the Spanish viceroyalties. Saintly devotions traveled to Mexico and circulated within the vast territory as images or print, then to be transformed by New Spain's own communities. Published in collaboration with the New Mexico Museum of Art and drawing on collections from Mexico and the United States, this book examines the role of images in the construction of the holy. The relationship between sanctity and the pictorial is a long, revered tradition that continues in the work of New Mexico's santero artists today.
Le Nemesiache: Reclaiming Mythological Rituals
Conjuring the collective joy of the Naples-based feminist artist's group grounded in cosmological creativity and justice through mythological ritualsCofounded in 1970 by multidisciplinary artist Lina Mangiacapre, Le Nemesiache is a Neapolitan feminist and pacifist artist group that has fostered an experimental artistic practice and a way of being in the world rooted in feminism, mythology, folktales, sci-fi and radical imagination, while also introducing "transfeminism" in the early '80s. Throughout their long-lasting practice spanning many decades, the group has retrieved an androgynous mythosophy to transcend art as mere representation and challenge the feminine as a modern identity category. Their distinct transformative approach within both Italian and Western feminist art history has led to not only an interdisciplinary practice but also the creation of a new political language, grounded in cosmological creativity and justice through mythological rituals. Rife with archival photographs, manifestos and unpublished documents, this first monograph on Le Nemesiache spans film, performance, poetry, protest, collage, music and textiles.
