Frontier #16

2018

A beautiful and captivating new collection of ceramics work by Ako Castuera. Ako Castuera’s ceramic sculptures combine animal, human, landscape and architectural elements, describing an interwoven profusion of life that calls into question our hierarchically ordered beliefs around human / non-human, animate / inanimate. Her hybrid forms suggest a world of upended borders in which connections to people, place, self and other are vividly expressed in a variety of traditional techniques that often give way to unorthodox applications. 32 pages, Color photography, with author interview. A native Angeleno, Ako’s roots carry rich material and intangible cultural heritage from Okinawa and Mexico into today’s American mainstream culture. Her sculptures and paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States, and her work can also be seen in the popular animated television show, “Adventure Time,” for which she was a storyboard artist and writer for several seasons.

For the final issue of 2019, Frontier is beyond honored to bring Tunde Adebimpe back to his cartoonist roots with this moving book of all-new stories.

An electric mix of nostalgia, nihilism, and humor, the issue spans visual styles with confident ease. Well known as the lead singer and founding member of the band TV on the Radio, Tunde Adebimpe is a polymath whose creative expression has found home in award-winning work as a musician, writer, animator, artist, director, and actor.
