About the Author

BlackBook Presents: BlackBook has always been a point of convergence for the arts, culture, and social impact. Founded in 1996 by Evanly Schindler, as a popular arts & culture print magazine, publishing and media company, BlackBook became known for collaborations with prestigious artists, brands, and institutions; mining talent from the subculture and introducing it to the mainstream. The brand expanded from the U.S. to global markets throughout the 2000s, and transitioned to digital media, creating original content about art, literature, fashion, music, film, and culture at large. Since then, the brand has evolved its original ethos to focus on visual art. Klaus Biesenbach: Klaus Biesenbach is a curator known for creating social moments within art institutions, challenging the way artists and audiences interact with art.
