The Warring Society: Conflict Pervades the Everyday
Summary
96
Conflict
Spring Summer 2019
What forms of discourse emerge from art practices and works that deal with war and conflict? Is there a narrative stance that is particular to works and exhibitions that narrate, criticize, or analyze conflict? And by extension, since conflict is not limited to wars, how do artists and curators bear witness to social unrest, struggles, and the inequalities derived from racism and colonialism? These are some of the questions that issue 96 addresses.

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.
