Arts & Photography

Simmons, William J.

Exhibition catalogue with twenty color illustrations of paintings by the British painter Prunella Clough (1919–1999). Published to commemorate the first German presentation of the artist's work at June gallery, Berlin, the book focuses on the artist's late-career departure from the industrial figuration for which she was known into a wry, quietly influential approach to abstraction. Included works date from 1960–1993.

Individual Artists

Since the 2010s, the line between public and private, online and offline has increasingly become blurred by digitalization and social media. In contemporary art, digitality has assumed a new type of presence--no longer only as a virtual sphere of sociality, but increasingly as a technological interface that structures our embodied experiences. What is presented in an "exhibition"? And how should we write about the new types of post-digital images we are seeing (in them)? In Passing Images: Art in the Post-Digital Age, Marie France Rafael provides a different attempt to write with art, rather than just about it. Rafael aims to retrace the living spirit of art and the procedural-performative experience of art in her writing.

Perpetual Slavery (Critic's Essay Series)

Finlayson, Ciarán

In the relationship between artistic genres and mediums--the temporality of video against the relative stasis of sculpture--there is an inherent tension. In this interview, Marie-France Rafael and the artist Raphaela Vogel ask: What is the relationship between form and time? How is time experienced in an installational space? And how can the limitations of specific forms be overcome? In their conversation, Rafael and Vogel contemplate the potential of putting artistic mediums in dialogue with one another, proffering a new vision of what form can achieve.
