Feminisms
Spring Summer 2017
Our spring issue looks at the unique relationships between art and feminisms. Taking into account the multiplicity of women’s subjectivity and heterogeneity, Feminisms explores how art practices and theories help to deconstruct the oppressions and limitations associated with gender. Focussing on female and feminist art practices—militant or not—from various communities, the protests, standpoints, and affirmations come in as many forms as the artists are diverse: subversion, uprising, reconsideration of gender archetypes and heteronormativity, post-colonial feminist theory, revival of ancestral practices, representation of the self, and conscious and assumed use of seduction are among the many ways of expressing, again, the necessity of feminisms.

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.
