IN THIS SPECIAL ISSUE OF HIS FANZINE PLATFORM, ANTHONY VACCARELLO INVITES VARIOUS ARTISTS TO CELEBRATE AND SUPPORT THE FIGHT FOR LOVE AND INCLUSIVENESS AT A TIME WHEN THE BANNER OF PRIDE CONTINUES THE FIGHT FOR RIGHTS AND EMANCIPATION.

PINK MATTER IS THE RALLYING POINT FOR A GROWTH MOVEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME VERY BROAD AND BRINGS TOGETHER ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE FIGHT FOR LOVE AND ITS VARIOUS FORMS. CONCEIVED AS AN OVERVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY, PINK MATTER GIVES VOICE TO BOTH ARTISTS AND PEOPLE DEPICTED, TO LOVE AND TENDERNESS AS MUCH AS PLEASURE AND PARTYING, TO SITUATIONS AND THE ACTORS INVOLVED IN THEM.

EXPLORING DIFFERENT MEDIUMS IN THEIR WORKS - COLLAGE, GRAPHIC AND VISUAL ARTS, AND EVEN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN, THE ARTISTS DEPICT BOTH THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE BIZARRE, THE VAGUE AND THE PRECISE, JOYFUL BODIES, THE AFFIRMATION OF SELF-EXPRESSION AND REMIND US OF THE PROXIMITY OF ART AND OUR MOST INTIMATE FANTASIES. THEY GIVE A VOICE TO THOSE, QUEER OR NOT-QUEER, WHO ARE DISADVANTAGED AS A RESULT AND GIVE A LITTLE POWER TO THOSE WHO PERHAPS DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
