Art, every month.
"Time Travel
Suzanne Treister interviewed by Jamie Sutcliffe
Let’s take a wider perspective and assert that all art by default creates a crack in consensus reality, that on one level or another all art is visionary, all art is political, all art is mystical, all art is about identity, all art is holographic and so on.
Curating Difference
Lisa Slominski asks whether it is possible to contextualise difference with care and without instrumentalising it
Nnena Kalu’s nomination for this year’s Turner Prize raises important questions about ethics, interpretation and responsibility, and invites broader reflection on how representation is negotiated.
Art Treatment
Tom Denman assesses what it takes to make art in and for hospitals, concluding that the best approach encourages an ‘interdependent therapeutic gaze’
The question is, how can the therapeutic gaze be harnessed to upset the top-down, objectifying dynamic we might associate with medical practice, including the wider neoliberalist framework of arts in health advocacy?
Re-de-photography
Mark Prince argues that in our social media saturated culture, to photograph or film something is becoming a substitute for that same experience
The paradox reflects photography’s conflicted role in a mediated world – rife with image manipulation – as both the medium that most effectively dissembles its form in order to simply attest, and the one most likely to deceive with its evidential appearance."
