This features dedicated to painting is part of an attempt to encourage critical analyses of painting practices. While presenting a selection of articles that attest to the diversity of aesthetic and conceptual approaches to this art form, (Re)seeing Painting puts forward some considerations of the different strategies deployed in art practices or dissemination networks. Though pictorial research may remain central to painters, some of them use their works as formidable tools of empowerment or protest, as a means to critically examine society.

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.
