Landscape
Fall 2016
While the classic conception of landscape presumes that nature is stable, permanent and harmonious, and the romantic vision distinguishes nature as a chaotic force; in contrast, current artistic practices seem to explore the reciprocal effects generated by the dynamic interaction between humans and matter. This issue revisits the notion of landscape as an artistic genre in the contemporary artistic context.

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.
