We are delighted to present the series HOP UP, which will showcase a selection of HILOBROW friend Luc Sante’s extraordinary collages, along with the artist’s commentary. Also, check out the James Fuentes gallery’s website, which throughout August is featuring the terrific exhibit Some Recent Collages by Luc Sante.
Magazine covers have been a passion of mine since I was a tot in Belgium, finagling to get a copy of Mickey or Spirou at the libraire’s, surrounded by acres of dazzlingly wrong covers of grown-up magazines. As a teenager I think I might have been more inclined to fantasize about my name appearing on a magazine than on a book — magazines seemed cooler, more of the minute. And when a few years later I planned (and now and then executed) dozens of zines (which weren’t yet called zines), I think that above all I wanted to make their covers, which were like pop songs. This one is the cover of a failed magazine for failed juvenile delinquents, who trudged up to the moment as if it were a job.
