Flash Art International no. 299
November–December 2014
We are pleased to announce that the November–December 2014 issue of Flash Art International is out now.
In this issue:
He Jing hosts a roundtable with Li Shurui, Wang Guangle and Xie Molin about physicality and control in their painting.
“I think that all three of us lean toward ‘painting,’ because as the physical experience accumulates, something akin to faith begins to emerge within the overall process. I would define this chemical reaction as the watershed that divides ‘painting’ from ‘producing an image.’”
–Li Shurui
Time Machine
A Salon History of Appropriation: Leo Castelli and Sturtevant in conversation with Dan Cameron.
(From Flash Art International, no. 143, November–December 1988)
Neïl Beloufa talks with Maurizio Cattelan about participation and resistance in his artistic practice.
“Today I no longer think there’s such a thing as a good or bad image, and that’s why I try to look at the world without putting information into any kind of hierarchical order. In this sense, this is a political gesture. I try not to leave anything out.”
–Neïl Beloufa
Steph Kretowicz explores the sight-versus-sound music and images of Arca.
“Like the transformative nature of a convex lens, the image—or in this case, the sound—that it produces depends on how you angle the glass; where it is, where your eye is and how much distance there is between the two. Arca applies this approach to his work liberally.”
–Steph Kretowicz
Tobias Madison discusses the insistence on intimacy in the performances of Anne Imhof.
“In her performances Imhof invokes the liquid hell in which we all find ourselves. She invokes the subject whose core action is to calculate the sum of his or her transactions and to measure them in relation to all other subjects.”
–Tobias Madison
Questionnaire
Five questions on the future of auction houses to specialists from Artcurial, Bonhams, Christie’s, Paddle8, Phillips, Sotheby’s and Villa Grisebach.
