Bruit

Winter 2007

With a connotation that is more negative than that of sound, noise is generally perceived as a nuisance, a parasitic element that insinuates itself within a system to spread disorder. This issue aims to deepen the reflection on the notion of noise in current art, the specific form of exploiting sonorous material evident in the work of an increasing number of artists. Including portfolios by Christof Migone, Jean-Pierre Gauthier, and Jocelyn Robert.

Abstractions

Spring Summer 2025

Yet what about abstraction today? Long confined to formalist and self-referential imperatives, abstraction has gradually freed itself from the modernism yolk to recapture its evocative power. This issue proposes to turn away from the dogma of Abstraction as a historical genre to consider its various plastic and semantic avenues. In this invitation to explore abstractions, we wish to re-establish a dialogue between content and form, between the political and the poetic, by engaging with works that evoke reality differently. Whether they are qualified as abstract, non-figurative, or non-objective, these works certainly tell us stories.
