Tomorrow's Man 6
The sixth and latest volume of Jack Pierson's (b. 1960) Tomorrow's Man artist-book series delivers an exploded vision of the current visual landscape, draped in the vintage homoeroticism and glamour that has defined the project since 2014.
Published by Bywater Bros. Editions in 2023 and edited by Pierson with publisher Roger Bywater, the 164-page softcover — issued in four variant covers — collages archival material with work by contemporary artists both established and emerging: Cameron Jamie's ceramics, Clément PJ Schneider's nude studies and Danny McDonald's pop-inspired sculptures alongside contributions from Matthew Bede Murphy, Michael Bilsborough, Agustin Bruno, Jeremy Deprez, Eliza Douglas, Robert Escalera, Mark Flood, Quinn Gorbutt, Mended Veil, Nathan Morgan, Nehama, Kembra Pfahler and Niv Shank. Pierson's own photographs and assorted ephemera round out the volume, along with a screenplay by Chico Kramer.
Pierson emerged from the Boston School alongside Nan Goldin and Mark Morrisroe and works across photography, collage and found-letter word sculptures his work is held by the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney and the Guggenheim. All six Tomorrow's Man volumes are held in this collection.
