This winter, in honour of its 25th anniversary, BUTT is releasing a new anthology book (Taschen, 2026) compiling the most subversive, iconic stories of the new era. Inside you’ll find unfiltered conversations with the likes of Arca, Gary Indiana, Mahmood and Eileen Myles, alongside contributions from greats like Nan Goldin, Martin Margiela, AA Bronson and Wolfgang Tillmans. Plus, of course, left-field favourites like a Czech tombstone engraver and an anal medical specialist in NYC.
If Bruce LaBruce once praised the "editorial permissiveness" of BUTT magazine, this compendium of the best of the new era of BUTT reinforces how the smart, literate and extra queer magazine still manages to shock and surprise. Yet, NEW BUTT also celebrates a wider cast of individuals from the queer community, featuring marquee photography and interviews with trans and lesbian sisters. How does the magazine evolve its editorial perspective to fit the contemporary era?
Join the current editor-in-chief Andrew Pasquier, founder Gert Jonkers, artist Gray Wielebinski and Paris Ass Book Fair founder and director Vincent Simon for a conversation delving into the history and future of the magazine and its community.
