Collectives Without Consensus?

Collectives
Winter 2022
This issue examines how working collectively problematizes power relations within art institutions and groups and how this affects the implementation of less hierarchical structures. Given the urgent need to act, in a world where a state of emergency has become permanent, laboratories of social action, interdisciplinary research groups, and international discussion forums are forming on the margins of the art field. Seeking alternative forms of “being together,” these new collectives are reviving the concerns of several decades of shared creation.

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.
