Nicole Wermers, from the 'Reclining Female' series
Interview
Invisible Labour
Nicole Wermers interviewed by Ellen Mara De Wachter
I have been interested in different ways of interacting with architecture for a while, and maintaining and cleaning it is the most direct and yet totally underappreciated way to do so.
Chris Ofili, Requiem, 2023
Feature
Grenfell
Morgan Quaintance argues that Chris Ofili's mural for the victims of Grenfell Tower at Tate Britain was compromised from the start
Chris Ofili's rendering moves the Grenfell Tower fire out of the realm of the real and places it in the metaphorical zone of allegory, and shifts Khadija Saye from the conscious intentions and actions of her life to that of saintly, one-dimensional martyrdom.
From the Back Catalogue Steve McQueen: Grenfell Elisabetta Fabrizi experiences the memorial film at the Serpentine. First published in 2023, now free online.
Peter Fischli & David Weiss, How to Work Better, 1991/2023
Feature
Levelling Up?
Laura Harris exposes as a sham the government's plan for a so-called 'Renaissance' in the regions
The regional inequalities that continue to scar the UK, and the other social inequalities that deepen them, are, and have always been, in direct opposition to the interests of art in general – that is, art as a vital part of life, rather than a growing part of the economy.
Dora Budor, Passive Recreation, 2024

Tom Denman
Dora Budor urges us to attend to the intrusive mechanisms of control – often dressed up as care – ingrained within the built environment, and thereby to outwit such mechanisms that entice our unthinking obedience.

Editorial
ACE About Face
ACE's recent updated guidance to its regularly funded National Portfolio organisations, warning them that political statements could potentially cause 'reputational risk' to ACE, was ominous in its vague, open-ended wording which implied that in future the funding of organisations working with artists who engage with political issues could be at risk.
This is dangerous territory for art in general and for art magazines in particular: art magazines are critical by definition, regularly publishing views with which the editorial staff may not agree, which is why most magazines, including Art Monthly, carry a disclaimer.

ACE Review
Current culture secretary Lucy Frazer has ordered a full review of ACE to decide whether it is fit for purpose; the current home secretary has made it a jailable offence to scale war memorials; a new report details the damaging extent of government cuts to museum and gallery funding; the House of Lords debates the value of the arts; protesters target the British Museum and Tate Modern; cultural figures are forced to resign across Europe; plus the latest on galleries, people, awards and more.

Film
Andrew Black: On Clogger Lane
Chris Townsend
The film contrasts an imagination of communal identity with the alienating effects of modernity on a sparsely populated rural landscape.
Luke Conroy, Unfolding, 2023
Film
International Film Festival Rotterdam
Rachel Pronger
The resulting video by Luke Conroy is a broad parody of the self-annihilating individualism inherent in the language of self-care; take a moment to breathe deep while the world burns.

Film
peter campus: myoptiks
Chris Meigh-Andrews
Despite his choice of medium, peter campus considers himself to be a painter and, insofar as his interest in the control and manipulation of light, colour and composition is central to this recent work, the films are also about movement – the containing, control and manipulation of time and motion.

Henry Lydiate
Completion of works has long been a contentious issue for artists and their estates after death, which statutory moral rights seek to address not only via the integrity right, but also coupled with further rights to claim or deny authorship.
