Pratiques urbaines

Spring / Summer 2001

[In French] L’art urbain fait d’abord et avant tout appel au public puisque le contexte social, et surtout l’individu, en sont la matière première. Ainsi, ce dossier propose de réfléchir sur les motivations des artistes qui prennent place dans le tissu urbain, celles-ci fluctuant au gré des différentes situations.

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.
