Fear II
Winter 2008
In questioning diverse artistic practices that either have recourse or attempt to neutralize fear, this second issue dedicated to this theme endeavours to reflect on the feeling of fear experienced in day to day life. In addition to cinema and video (which we are more likely to associate spontaneously with fear), this issue also addresses painting, the installation, performance, and web art.

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.
