Sabotage
Winter 2010
The dossier presented here addresses the diverse forms of sabotage perpetrated by artists, both within and outside of the art world. To experiment with the concepts explored in these pages, we’ve decided to play the same game and to sabotage issue no. 68, thereby shaking up the aesthetic comfort into which a magazine can all too easily settle. Including 3 portfolios.

Tourism
Spring Summer 2024
Because it is essential for it to be open to the world, art is particularly affected by concerns related to planetary travel. From a position at the intersection of contemporary art, leisure, ecology, and destination culture, Esse no. 111 observes artists’ and critical thinkers’ strategies for revisiting the very notion of tourism. Although the harmful impacts of the tourism industry are beyond question, the thematic section avoids falling prey to tourismphobia and simply pointing out its failures. Rather, this issue offers a guided tour of situations and places where art and tourism converge.
