Each issue presents a call\u2014a curated selection of original collage images that will become raw material for reader-artists to respond by cutting, reconfiguring, and transforming them into new artworks. The newly created responses will form the content of the next issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent issue, <strong><em>Cut Me Up Issue 12: Eros<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0curated by Allan Bealy, is a selection of 18 artworks that explore the realm of eroticism. The erotic is not merely synonymous with sex, but rather encompasses a range of human emotions and experiences integral to creativity. For this issue, artists were asked to imagine their own erotic landscape through the medium of collage while incorporating elements from <em>Cut Me Up Issue 11: Souvenir<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><em>\u201cEroticism isn\u2019t sex; its sexuality transformed by the human imagination. It\u2019s the thoughts, dreams, anticipation, unruly impulses, and even painful memories which make up our vast erotic landscapes. It\u2019s energized by our entire human experience, layered with early childhood experiences of touch, play, or trauma, which later become cornerstones of our erotic life.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<cite>Esther Perel<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martinez.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1387\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martinez.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martinez-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martinez-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Martinez-210x158.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Nude Ascending a Staircase No. 1<\/em> by Chad Martinez<br>Courtesy of the artist and <em>Cut Me Up<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE PUBLICATION<\/strong><br><em>Cut Me Up<\/em><br>Edited by Andrea Burgay<br>$18 US per issue<br>Andrea Burgay, Brooklyn, New York, magazine founded in 2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchase current and back issues directly from <em>Cut Me Up<\/em>&#8216;s website, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"HERE (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/cutmeupmagazine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edited by Andrea Burgay<br \/>\nself-published, 2018-present<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1386,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[58,7],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CutMeUp_012_Cover.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8O04t-8u","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=526"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1388,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/526\/revisions\/1388"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/books\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
