R. CRUMB FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. A RARE IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW. Preorder now (link in bio). PARANOIA IN THE TECHNO WORLD. For the past six decades, cartoonist R. Crumb has captured the haunting perversity and paranoia of our contemporary age, and the psychosexual terror of his own mind. Autre’s SS26 “Surveillance” Issue is an urgent dossier on our age of hyper-surveillance that traces how we arrived at this disorienting era of total capture. Preorder the issue now and receive a full digital preview delivered to your inbox immediately after checkout.

AN ODE TO KARLHEINZ WEINBERGER. CHLOE CHIPPENDALE FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE Before social media, youth culture was localized, radical, and full of anxious abandon. Free from the burden of the public gaze, which now shapes behavior and censors expression, young people could experiment with identity, fashion, and style without being consumed by algorithmic monoculture. In 1958, Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) turned his lens to the Halbstarken, meaning “half- strong,” a rising anti-authoritarian teenage subculture that rode motorcycles and tore up concert halls in postwar Zurich.

LIL YACHTY FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. Available for preorder now (link in bio). Autre’s SS26 “Surveillance” Issue is an urgent dossier on our age of hyper-surveillance and traces how we arrived at this disorienting era of total capture. Lil Yachty—born Miles Parks McCollum in Atlanta, Georgia—crashed onto the scene a decade ago with bubblegum trap melodies and a renegade spirit, rewriting rap’s rules through playful chaos, genre-bending sound, and a cold refusal to fit any archetype. His albums have gone multi-platinum, with songs streamed in the billions. Paris-based artist and curator Christelle Oyiri, known for her sharp, culture-warping lens as @crystallmess, sits down with Yachty to discuss image and influence in a hypervisible age.

BANKS VIOLETTE FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. Available to preorder now (🔗 in bio) Banks Violette returns to the art world’s fragile stage after a decade-long withdrawal with sharpened intent. His oscillation between visibility and disappearance, the dark undertow of his collapsing assemblages, and his unflinching reflection of American chaos and seething individualism render the work not only urgent but newly indispensable.

KIM PETRAS FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. Inspired by Lynn Hershman Leeson’s performance avatar, Roberta Breitmore, we explore the role of building avatars. An important 21st-century skill essential when you transition under the microscope of the public eye. Grammy Award-winning German singer-songwriter and pop provocateur Kim Petras wields a virtuosic ability to craft psycho-pop playgrounds populated by meticulously constructed cyborgian female identities—from the iconic blonde bombshell to the horror heroine. Her new album, Detour, functions as both a chameleonic mixtape and a bold testament to her unparalleled skill in both persona-building and destruction.

For Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, quantum physics poses a materialist quandary that destabilizes what we see and believe, undermining surveillance’s claim to an all-seeing, all-knowing gaze.

Echoes of the past. @kidcudi on his first solo exhibition of paintings at @ruttkowski68 gallery in Paris. On view until March 1st #kidcudi #scottyramon

As we’re all seemingly inexplicably returning to 2016, we keep thinking about the wise words of this sage mouse by @ryanjgander which was on view at @camdenarts176 and the power of nostalgia. In times of extreme upheaval, nostalgia acts as a psychological balm, an evolutionary mechanism, for survival and meaning. Ignoring the fact that meta is most likely training their machine learning technologies through the aging of our faces, zooming back to the past offers a reprieve from the violence of the present, even when that time was also marked by the same violence. On social media, we live through these loops through algorithmically generated mechanisms that latch on to our hormonal neuropathways, it keeps us scrolling, docile, unable to resist. #nostalgia #2016 #flashback #ryangander

“…Whatever we do now is the history of tomorrow.” @wolfgang_tillmans on his new exhibition Keep Movin’ on view now at @regenproject in Los Angeles, an alchemical look to the past, materiality and process — there is sense of weight, pressure, darkness with flickers of the artist’s signature optimism—a relentless pursuit of justice as history makes itself in the present. #wolfgangtillmans #regenprojects

WORK IN PROGRESS 🏎️ The logistical ballet of getting a McLaren Artura GT4 race car (custom-wrapped by @mickalenethomas for @dartcarproject ) delivered to the @fontainebleaumiamibeach where it will be on view in the hotel’s Departures Drive during @artbasel week (presented by Autre Magazine). In Autre’s FW25 WIP issue , racecar driver @zoebarryracing takes the McLaren around the track in West Virginia (photographed by @amandademme with support from @caddis_life ) and speaks to veteran driver Lyn St James about the trials and tribulations of working in a field dominated by the preconceived notions of how much women can achieve behind the wheel. The McLaren, the helmets, and race suit have all been customized and designed by contemporary artist Mickalene Thomas See the car at Departures Drive at the @fontainebleaumiamibeach from December 1st to December 7th #mclaren #racecar #artbasel #miamibasel

“There is a pivotal point in the life of a work when I’ve done all I can, and then I’m obsolete; I totally vanish.” @anne_imhof AUTRE “Citizen” FW24 🏴‍☠️ WYWG out Dec 5 on @pan__hq WYWG is a deeply personal survey presenting several new bodies of work that reflect on and further develop a number of core elements that have constituted Imhof’s repertoire from the outset. Throughout the exhibition, Imhof explores notions of finitude, reality and artifice, chance and fate, absence and presence, set against a backdrop of postapocalyptic isolation. #anneimhof #contemporaryart #artistspotlight
