Miniature
Fall 2010
For some time now, art galleries, museums as well artists’ studios have been offering us various types of models and projects that materialize as small-scale forms or “prototypes”—miniature works with a seemingly limited, barely visible field of action. This issue focus on the miniature in contemporary art—minute works, models or modelling. The essays' respective authors propose different expansive readings of these minute constructions, making use of such categories as the playful, the deceptive, and the simulacral.

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.
