Pain
Fall 2022
In recent years, the question of pain, whether physical or psychological, has become a hot topic in media and scientific discourses. This issue reflects on the place that pain claims in contemporary art through the production of forms and images of suffering that don’t forget the care, don’t ignore the trauma, and take the affects of the aesthetic relationship into account.

Plastics
Winter 2025
Analyzing plastic in the field of art runs the risk of raising many environmental dilemmas. Far from extolling plastic yet without denying its utility, this issue is interested in our ways of coexisting with synthetic material in order to evaluate the consequences and seek alternative solutions and to claim a kinship with what gives this material its glory: its plasticity, which expresses the power both to receive and to give form.
