Elephant #49

Elephant magazine is back in print with a bumper issue featuring 12 incredible covers! Presented in one 500-page mega-edition for 2024 including conversations exploring art history, theory, and creative practice, along with a broad selection of photography and original artwork. Issue 49 of Elephant Magazine presents the most exciting artists working today, captured through their own lens.

The theme of this issue is dedicated to transformation and artists who embody this concept. And, of course, transformation is a particularly fitting theme for this issue, which celebrates a new era for Elephant Magazine under new editorship with Tschabalala Self at its helm.

“Transformation is understood as a thorough or dramatic change, a metamorphosis of sorts—a shift from one state into another. Change, whether subtle or bold, in all of its beauty and chaos, is the most consistent element in life and key to any meaningful art practice. We have chosen to honor those who accept change’s entropic nature and harness its power in Issue 49 of Elephant Magazine.”
