With the support of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Miss Tiger’s curatorial research utilizes an ethnographic methodology emphasizing the critical analysis of the male nude photography featured in Blueboy magazine — viewing it not simply as ephemeral material or pornography, but as a legitimate form of visual art. To facilitate this research, Miss Tiger is curating an exhibition around the archive of Blueboy magazine, emphasizing the significance of the magazine’s principal photography and its impact on complex issues related to cultural identity, community dynamics, and societal frameworks.
