Catalogue note

UK physical VICE Volume 11 Number 11, corresponding to the late-2013 global Volume 20 Issue 11 editorial package known online as The What Da Fug You Lookin’ At Issue. The contents page explicitly credits Bruce Gilden for the cover and combines his confrontational portrait photography with reporting and features spanning Syrian oil production, migrant labour, religious abuse, underground mining, Andres Serrano in Cuba, Bolivian child miners, Lil Durk and Chicago drill, and experimental art. The issue is a strong example of VICE at its early-2010s international-documentary peak, mixing abrasive photographic style, conflict reporting, subculture and deliberately provocative editorial framing.
