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.

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.
