Musée Magazine, a new online quarterly publication dedicated to emerging photography, announces the launch of Musée Magazine No. 2, The Fear Issue. The Fear Issue was born as an idea that goes back sometime for Editor-in-Chief, Andrea Blanch. Blanch once asked a friend “What is your greatest fear?” to which he replied, “that no one will come to my funeral.”

This idea of personal fears took seed in her brain and continued as a project for her class at the ICP and now as the latest edition of Musée Magazine. 



Musée Magazine No. 2 interviews two guest artists whose works are often perceived around the issue of fear. Andres Serrano, once accused of ‘taunting the American people’, is an ever-evolving artist who shows us the ordinary in extraordinary ways. Fearless himself, Serrano constantly tests the boundaries through shocking imagery, often dealing with provocative subjects like religion, sexuality and social issues. Second guest artist, Trevor Paglen, whose work is greatly influenced by his scientific and artistic background, he is interested in photography as a means of ‘truth telling’. Well-known for his project, “Invisible: Covert Operations and Classified Landscapes”, he documents the inner workings of U.S. military and other intelligence agencies, through the use of non-traditional photographic techniques, such as satellite imagery. 

The latest issue also includes an engaging profile of the Director of the Brooklyn Museum, Arnold Lehman, and an interview with seasoned photography collector Vicente Wolf.

Finally, Musée Magazine No. 2 is proud to platform 72 new emerging photographers; 3 featured Editor’s Picks by Levi Jackson, Loli Mass, and Dana Goldstein; and 3 emerging creative writers, Dmitry Kiper, Kelly Aronowitz, and Diane Echer.
