Art as transaction
Fall 2011
The issue Art as transaction focuses on the “transactions” implicit in relational aesthetics, by considering how certain works fall within the scope of market logic, by reflecting on the ethics of these practices and on the risks of involving participants, and by analyzing works that voluntarily exploit various financial models, be it in parody or for profit.

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.
