‘I need to look at my work. I need to bond with it, like it’s my child.’ – Henry Taylor

 

In the January/February issue of frieze, Terence Trouillot profiles artist Henry Taylor ahead of shows at The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia, and The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Plus, one year after Russia declared war, four Ukrainians respond to the crisis in a dossier, including: a personal essay by painter and writer Kateryna Aliinyk; Adam Mazur profiles Taras Gembik, an artist and performer organizing picnics to raise money for Ukraine in Warsaw, Poland; Nikita Kadan on what art can mean in a time of war; editor-in-chief Andrew Durbin interviews Olha Honchar, the director of Territory of Terror Museum, which documents war crimes, and the coordinator for the Museum Crisis Center, an organization helping Ukrainian museums rescue their holdings from occupied zones.

 

Profile: Henry Taylor

‘I became the observer because I was trying to understand my own life and that’s why I started making pictures. I just like looking at people.’ Terence Trouillot considers how Henry Taylor’s oeuvre goes far beyond the canvas.

 

Dossier: Forms of Resistance

‘Since the rockets did not fly at us immediately, we started to help.’ In this dossier, we profile, interview and collect first-hand accounts from four Ukrainians, working within and without the country, who are striving to preserve their culture – and their lives.
