Weaving Memories: An Interview with Igshaan Adams
As you enter the foyer of Mudam Luxembourg, your eye is drawn upward. ‘Gebedswolke iii (prayer cloud)’—an installation made up of charms, wire and metallic disks—is suspended from the ceiling.

Amateur Traumatics: An Interview with William Joys
This article is part of our feature topic Abjection. Abjection and power go together like Deleuze and Guattari, but it’s not always clear which one is in charge. Power dynamics lie at the heart of human relationships, but they’re often invisiblized. Among the few times and places such relations are laid bare for consideration is on the stage. The theater opens the hidden corners of the human…

Confronting Incoherence: ‘The Double’ at GHMP Zvon
This article is part of our feature topic Abjection. Abjection often conjures images of horror—filth, ugliness, death—in their most visceral, corporeal form. Yet what we tend to neglect are abject forms of the mind: a kind of psychic horror that arises from the slippery grip we have on our sense of self. This discomfort, the circling ambiguity of our personhood and the world we inhabit…

Letter from the Editor: Abjection

Lyrical Vitality: Graciela Iturbide at C/O Berlin
The opening image of Graciela Iturbide’s retrospective ‘Eyes to Fly With’ at C/O Berlin is a poetic visualization of the title itself. It features a self-portrait of the artist holding two dead birds delicately over her eyes, their small spherical heads placed just above each eyelid. The bird in her left hand lies upside down, its beak open and its bones visible—a death cry—while the other bird…
