Fear II
Winter 2008
In questioning diverse artistic practices that either have recourse or attempt to neutralize fear, this second issue dedicated to this theme endeavours to reflect on the feeling of fear experienced in day to day life. In addition to cinema and video (which we are more likely to associate spontaneously with fear), this issue also addresses painting, the installation, performance, and web art.

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.
