Canular
Spring / Summer 2007
This issue underscores the great diversity of art practices that make use of or that are proximate to the hoax. At times stinging and at other times amusing, the minor and significant impostures presented herein trace the portrait of yet another irreverent attitude that is often prized in the art world and that sometimes still manages to rouse shock.

Tourism
Spring Summer 2024
Because it is essential for it to be open to the world, art is particularly affected by concerns related to planetary travel. From a position at the intersection of contemporary art, leisure, ecology, and destination culture, Esse no. 111 observes artists’ and critical thinkers’ strategies for revisiting the very notion of tourism. Although the harmful impacts of the tourism industry are beyond question, the thematic section avoids falling prey to tourismphobia and simply pointing out its failures. Rather, this issue offers a guided tour of situations and places where art and tourism converge.
